A imigração européia para a região sudeste do país, que foi responsável pela introdução da mão-de-obra assalariada, para atender às necessidades da cultura cafeeira, nas últimas décadas do século XIX e primeiras do século XX, tem sido suficientemente estudada pela historiografia da imigração. O que tem sido explorado em menor grau, é a inter-relação entre a imigração e a reforma sanitária que ocorreu no período. O estado de São Paulo, particularmente, foi palco de uma triste história de imigrantes italianos chegados e expostos à virulência das epidemias. Esse foi o ponto de partida para o início do movimento de reforma da saúde pública. Os fazendeiros consideravam a imigração uma necessidade vital para a economia cafeeira, havendo um consenso bastante forte entre as elites e o governo da necessidade de mostrar ao mundo que o Brasil estava disposto a combater sua má reputação em matéria de saúde pública. O pensamento reformista e a ação elegeramos imigrantes como principal alvo da política de saúde. Desta forma, o presente trabalho apresenta dados sobre essas ações e discute a maneira como os países estrangeiros – particularmente a Itália – enviaram ao Brasil agentes e inspetores, médicos, engenheiros e outros profissionais, no sentido de verificarem as reais condições de vida, de trabalho e de saúde de seus conterrâneos tanto nas áreas rurais como nas urbanas. Um dos fenômenos que resultaram dos esforços dos inspetores sanitários foi a consolidação de um mercado de trabalho para médicos italianos e a abertura de hospitais italianos em São Paulo e outras regiões do estado. O impacto da imigração e a consolidação da profissão médica, afetados pela vinda desses profissionais a São Paulo, são os focos principais deste trabalho.

Arborization can benefit coffee plantations by reducing the wind speed and temperature variation in the crop. It is also possible that the incident radiation can affect the weed populations and reduce the need for their control. This study aimed at assessing the weeds population and distribution, in arabica coffee intercropped with three macadamia cultivars, six years after planting, in Dois Córregos, São Paulo State, Brazil. Treatments consisted of a 3x3+1 factorial scheme, i.e., coffee intercropped with three macadamia cultivars (HAES 816, IAC 4-20 and IAC 9-20) and three sampling positions of weeds in the intercropping (in the macadamia tree canopy projection, among the macadamia tree canopies projections and in the single rows), plus an additional treatment (sole coffee). The weeds incidence and control, as well as their phytosociological characterization, were evaluated. For coffee intercropped with macadamia, the weeds occurrence and number of species were smaller than for sole coffee. For the projection in the canopy and among canopies of macadamia trees, there was an average decrease of 82% in the occurrence of weeds, in comparison with the sole coffee. The IAC 9-20 cultivar was more efficient in reducing the occurrence of weeds, when intercropped with coffee, for presenting a taller canopy, with a larger diameter.

The study aims to analyze the mechanization of the main coffee growing region in the south of Minas Gerais, in force, especially from the 1970s. But you get new content from the1990s, with the introduction of new information technologies. The use of machines in production processes appear as one of the great transformations of coffee in the period modern after globalization, requiring a labor more specialized, although resulting in unemployment in rural areas. So in the period of globalization new technologies gradually replace manual work. In the coffee farm, the old ways of the production (that handed down from father to son) aren't accepted by the global scientific agriculture (Santos, 2000:88). They are considered inefficient and low quality, but not attendant of patterns the international market. The national companies producing agricultural machines for coffee with emphasis on the company Pinhalense Agricultural Machinery SA believe that the producers of the region are its biggest customers in the country, considering the degree of mechanization more pronounced compared to other coffee growing regions. Analyze the importance of the coffee region with a contribution in the indicators of export and trade surplus in the Brazil and State of Minas Gerais

This text is aimed at disseminating cultural and environmental wealth of a region little known of major tour operators - which is strongly marked by historical traditions, in a bucolic rural still and by the hospitality of its residents. The Historic Valley of Rio Paraíba do Sul, although located in the Rio - Sao Paulo road lives in the shadow of the remarkable progress of the industrial cities in the main Valley. This paper presents results of research that deepened the knowledge of this region, with notable findings from the standpoint of culture and tourism, regional and national history. Isolated by considerable geographical barriers, this region has two aspects: the rebirth of nature after the decline of coffee plantations, with ecological sanctuaries that can now point toward environmental sustainability, and the formation of a culture with two historical times - refinement inherited from the barons coffee, paradoxically linked to the rustic countryside and modernity derived of its proximity to major centers. The results presented here are part of exploratory research, but were presented at different events, emphasizing the baroque character of practices derived from these two historical times and tourist potential related to the “cultura tropeira” and to hospitality that marks this countryside.
