Geografia da mortalidade no trânsito no Brasil

In road safety studies that involve accidents comparisons in distinct geographical spaces or in different periods of time in the same geographical space, the index which lists the number of traffic fatalities with the distance traveled by road transport vehicles is considered more appropriate than the rates related to the population or the fleet. In this paper, the results of an original research are presented, in which the values of the rate of traffic deaths per billion kilometers traveled (IMBQ) by the motor vehicle fleet in Brazil and in each state of the country were estimated. The evaluation was performed based on the official number of fatalities provided by the Ministry of Health and on the amount of fuel sold informed by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels. In 2009, Brazil presented an index of 52.84 fatalities per billion kilometers, which reveals an extremely alarming situation considering that this value is from 7 to 12 times higher than the one for more developed countries. An important correlation between the death index in the states and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita was observed; in general, the less economically developed is the state, it means, lowest GDP, higher is the IMBQ.

Parque da Sanbra: requalificando um vazio urbano em Ourinhos

This work consists in analyzing an urban area of the city of Ourinhos. That site was located an old industry, the 40s, the Brazilian Northeast Algodoeira Society (Sanbra). Which was shut down and the existing buildings were demolished. With the demolition, was an area unused to city, and became an urban empty in the railway area of Ourinhos. The local study is an example of what happened in many Brazilian cities, where old factories were closed, making it useless to the city and also without identity with the urban space. Therefore, this project sought the potentialities and problematics of the area and its surroundings, for the purpose to get elements to create a quality space for the life of ourinhenses and give a new use to space

Requalificação do trecho ferroviário urbano de Adamantina - SP

Este trabalho consiste na proposição de um projeto de requalificação do trecho ferroviário urbano de Adamantina, SP. Para isto, procuramos estudar desde o momento da implantação da ferrovia na cidade até a sua atual situação. Buscamos entender o papel deste elemento estruturador na cidade e a relação existente entre os habitantes de Adamantina com a ferrovia e seus elementos. Posteriormente conceituamos vazios urbanos, espaços livres, e espaços públicos, que são a forma como identificamos todo o trecho ferroviário urbano, e em seguida, os tipos de parque que podem ser constituídos na área segundo o que estudamos nas referências bibliográficas. Elaboramos então diretrizes gerais para a requalificação da área, repensando o espaço de modo que este sirva as necessidades atuais da cidade. E por fim, elaboramos uma proposta de um parque composto por área de lazer e esportes, espaço cultural, reformulação das passagens e melhoria na questão de mobilidade com a proposição da retomada da circulação de trem de passageiro para atender melhor a região

Novos trilhos: a reinserção da área da estação ferroviária de Dracena no contexto urbano atual

Dracena, located in Presidente Prudente's region and founded in 1945, is a coffe and cotton's expansion and had your development by the advance of the Paulista Company of Railroads' tracks. For a long time the train was part of the city's and people's daily life. However, with the decline of rail trasport, the train station and a whole have become spaces without meaning and use. Thus, this final graduation work os Architecural and Urbanism course, aims to reintegrate in the urban área of Dracena Station and upgrade their space. To this end, based on the critical restoration theories and the projective references chosen were proposed the restoration of the railway station building and the creation of na annex for the Department of Culture. To enable the reintegration of the area into the urban fabric was proposed to create a linear park that provides a leisure space above the city and the lack of green areas. Preserving these spaces in a time when changes occur so quickly means keeping alive the memory and history of cities and allow new generations to take notice

Análise das Áreas de Proteção Permanente do perímetro urbano do município de Rio Claro, SP, visando uma proteção e revitalização por meio de um gerenciamento baseado no PMBOK

The constant misuse of land in Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs) have been recurrent, especially in urban areas, where the dynamics of change is constant. The protection of these areas to maintain a balance in the ecosystem and the population's quality of life is fundamentally important. So it is of utmost important to draw up a mechanism that can help in decision-making in relation to measures for the protection, mitigation of damages that are being caused and revitalization of these areas. Thus, a managing these areas based on the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) in order to create mechanisms to facilitate the protection and revitalization of APPs, could be of great help for making public decision-making bodies that are entrusted to protect such areas. Based on this, we elaborated a project management in order to revitalize and protect the APPs in urban area of Rio Claro, SP and could become a model for future use by public bodies

Análise da fragilidade natural do sítio urbano de Piracicaba (SP)

This research aims to analyze the natural fragility of Piracicaba Urban Site, through the analysis of a letter of Fragility Potential obtained through the data crossing the geomorphological cards, Pedologic Slope and use and occupation of the land to be developed during the project. The methodology to be used is that proposed by Ross (1990, 1994) together with the guided ideas Anthropogenic geomorphology, so that the man-made conditions of modification of the relief can be inserted in the final analyzes. The results showed that the Córrego do Enxofre Basin has high fragility of values, it is not a rich area for human occupation

Disfunção miocárdica e alterações no trânsito de cálcio intracelular em ratos obesos

Abstract Background: Several mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to cardiac dysfunction in obesity models, such as alterations in calcium (Ca2+) handling proteins and β-adrenergic receptors. Nevertheless, the role of these factors in the development of myocardial dysfunction induced by obesity is still not clear. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether obesity induced by hypercaloric diets results in cardiac dysfunction. Furthermore, it was evaluated whether this functional abnormality in obese rats is related to abnormal Ca2+ handling and the β-adrenoceptor system. Methods: Male 30-day-old Wistar rats were fed with standard food (C) and a cycle of five hypercaloric diets (Ob) for 15 weeks. Obesity was defined as increases in body fat percentage in rats. Cardiac function was evaluated by isolated analysis of the left ventricle papillary muscle under basal conditions and after inotropic and lusitropic maneuvers. Results: Compared with the control group, the obese rats had increased body fat and glucose intolerance. The muscles of obese rats developed similar baseline data, but the myocardial responsiveness to post-rest contraction stimulus and increased extracellular Ca2+ were compromised. There were no changes in cardiac function between groups after β-adrenergic stimulation. Conclusion: Obesity promotes cardiac dysfunction related to changes in intracellular Ca2+ handling. This functional damage is probably caused by reduced cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2) activation via Ca2+ calmodulin kinase. (Arq Bras Cardiol 2011; 97(3) : 232-240).
