A Tábua Humana (Human Board), 2010.

The project represents a staging of a historical experiment, inspired by the hypnosis demonstrations of the beginning of the 20th century, where the subject, induced by a hypnotist, poses rigidly between two chairs, almost levitating, this rigidity being attributed to the state of trance of the subject. The project consists of a stereoscopic photographic series made at the exhibition site, with the workers helping with the assembling of the exhibition. The series is displayed in a 3D viewfinder, placed on the same chairs used in the photographs. This project was realized during the exhibition program of Centro Cultural São Paulo, Brazil, in 2010.

Drought is a natural hazard with critical societal and economic consequences to millions of people around the world. In this paper, we present the climatology of severe drought events that occurred during the 20th century in the region of Sao Paulo, Brazil. To account for the effects of rainfall deficit and changes in temperature at a climatic timescale, we chose the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) to identify severe droughts over the city of Sao Paulo, and the eastern and central-western regions of the state. Events were identified using weather station data and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) reanalysis data, in order to assess the representation of drought periods in both datasets. Results show that the reanalysis seems suitable to represent the number of events and their mean duration, severity and intensity, but the timing and characteristics of individual events are not well reproduced. The correlation between observation and reanalysis SPEI time series is low to moderate in all cases. A linear trend analysis between 1901 and 2010 shows a tendency of increasing (decreasing) severe drought events in the central and western (eastern) Sao Paulo state, according to observational data. This is in agreement with previous findings, and the reanalysis presents this same signal. The weakened trend values in the reanalysis may be associated with issues in representing precipitation in this dataset.

O trabalho visa compreender os discursos empregados sobre os haitianos nos jornais impressos de três municípios do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Mapeando as cidades que mais receberam haitianos nos últimos três anos: Caxias do Sul, Bento Gonçalves e Lajeado. Para a coleta das informações elegemos um jornal impresso de cada cidade durante o ano de 2014. Esses dados se articulam com os conceitos de imigração, sociabilidade e mídia. Inferimos que os discursos podem interferir nas vivências e nos processos de sociabilidades dos imigrantes haitianos. Evidenciamos que em alguns momentos as informações noticiadas atuam como promotores de informações assistencialistas aos imigrantes e em outras matérias reforçam o discurso de negação do sujeito por parte dos leitores sem manifestações positivas aos imigrantes.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Haitianos; Imigração; Mídia. ABSTRACTThe work aims to understand employees speeches on Haitians in the newspapers three municipalities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul Mapping the cities that received more Haitians in the last three years: Caxias do Sul, Bento Gonçalves and Lajeado. To collect the information we elect a printed newspaper every city in the year 2014. These data are linked with immigration concepts, sociability and media. We infer that the speeches can interfere with experiences and sociability processes of Haitian immigrants. We showed that at times the reported information act as promoters of welfare information to immigrants and other materials reinforce the discourse of negation of the subject from readers without positive manifestations immigrants.KEYWORDS: Haitians; immigration; Media.  RESUMENEl trabajo tiene como objetivo comprender empleados discursos sobre los haitianos en los periódicos de tres municipios del estado de Río Grande do Sul Mapeo las ciudades que recibieron más haitianos en los últimos tres años: Caxias do Sul, Bento Gonçalves y Lajeado.

AbstractMedicine remained as a male profession during many centuries, but the proportion of women rose steadily during the second part of the 20th century in the world and in Brazil. In 2006 they became the majority (51.75%) of the new physicians licensed by the Regional Council of Medicine of the State of São Paulo. Nevertheless, the proportion of women in Neurosurgery and in directive posts in entities of the specialty in Brazil continue very low or absent. Data obtained from the Brazilian Society of Neurosurgery and the Brazilian Academy of Neurosurgery are very similar to those of the American counterparts, like the proportion of women among the associates, around 5%, and one single female chief of a service certified for training in each country. Authors from WINS, an American entity, reported several problems suffered by female neurosurgeons, including gender discrimination. Such occurrences, as reported in online news, should alert against discriminatory attitudes.

This article deals with the symbolic experiences of urban participants of the União do Vegetal (UDV), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Through the analysis of participant speech, it seeks to identify the discursive axes of disciples of the UDV. Subjects’ experiences under the effects of the tea are strongly liminal, and frequently act as mediators through which the subject articulates elements of his life with those of the UDV worldview, experiencing them as a single reality. This experience is labeled by the author as encompassment in the force of the burracheira (the UDV designation for the ‘strange force’ that accompanies ingestion of the tea). As elaborated by Brissac, this idea denotes both the subjective experience of being ‘swept up’ by the effects of ayahuasca, and the way in which the UDV as a symbolic system draws to itself elements of other religious practices.

The repositories of scientific data are a reality experienced worldwide, contributing to the storage, preservation and access to data from scientific research. In view of the important role that these contemporary systems play, the objective is to investigate the indexing of scientific data within the scope of the Scientific Data Repositories Network of the State of São Paulo, a platform that allows access to scientific data and increases the visibility of research conducted in the participating institutions. To this end, the information policies established by each member institution are analyzed in order to contribute to studies of information representation in digital repositories. This is an exploratory and documentary study, with data collection carried out by consulting the electronic sites of the scientific data repositories and member institutions. The analysis of the identified information policies reveals that the data repositories linked to the Network partially meet the FAIR principles, use software and standards that allow interoperability, have data identification systems and a protocol for collecting metadata. The indexing of scientific data in the member repositories occurs by the author-researcher himself or by the team responsible for the system. There is a need for more in-depth studies on the Network of Scientific Data Repositories of the State of São Paulo, with emphasis on the quality of the subject metadata and the specificities of the indexing policies in scientific data repositories.

The almost instantaneous access to information provided by technological advances has revolutionized the behavior of people and of the classrooms too. Teachers had to adapt themselves to new technologies to maintain students interested and attentive to the discipline being taught. In this work, the behavior of the students of the 6th grade of elementary school II during class was observed. The school chosen is a public school in the State of São Paulo (Brazil). The research was based on data collection. The students were observed by being filmed during six months. The results showed that the students were interested in the classes and committed to the activities. The place that the student chooses to sit in the classroom influences the behavior of the teacher, because the more distant the teacher, the less he participates in the class.

This book is an ethnographic study of controversial sounds and noise control debates in Latin America’s most populous city. It discusses the politics of collective living by following several threads linking sound-making practices to governance issues. Rather than discussing sound within a self-enclosed “cultural” field, I examine it as a point of entry for analyzing the state. At the same time, rather than portraying the state as a self-enclosed “apparatus” with seemingly inexhaustible homogeneous power, I describe it as a collection of unstable (and often contradictory) sectors, personnel, strategies, discourses, documents, and agencies. My goal is to approach sound as an analytical category that allows us to access citizenship issues. As I show, environmental noise in São Paulo has been entangled in a wide range of debates, including public health, religious intolerance, crime control, urban planning, cultural rights, and economic growth. The book’s guiding question can be summarized as follows: how do sounds enter and leave the sphere of state control? I answer this question by examining a multifaceted process I define as “sound-politics.” The term refers to sounds as objects that are susceptible to state intervention through specific regulatory, disciplinary, and punishment mechanisms. Both “sound” and “politics” in “sound-politics” are nouns, with the hyphen serving as a bridge that expresses the instability that each concept inserts into the other.

Terrestrial Isopods were sampled in four protected Atlantic Forest areas located in Serra do Mar, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. A total of 2,217 individuals of six species (Atlantoscia sp., Benthana werneri, Pseudodiploexochus tabularis, Pudeoniscus obscurus, Styloniscus spinosus and Trichorhina sp.) were captured in pitfall traps. The exotic species S. spinosus is recorded for the first time for the Americas. Another introduced species, P. tabularis, previously recorded only from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, had its geographic distribution extended to the state of São Paulo. The most abundant isopods in this study belong to an undescribed species of Atlantoscia.
