It is the place of cutting edge projects such as the Digital Port, which houses around one hundred enterprises that make the city one of the country’s main information technology hubs. In addition, the city is a place of intense and original cultural production, a mix of modern and traditional aspects. With almost 1.5 million inhabitants, the city is characterised by a happy combination of beaches, an average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, and culture and history that attract millions of tourists. Recife in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Pernambuco Arena The Pernambuco Arena was built in São Lourenço da Mata (Recife’s metropolitan region) and delivered on 14 April 2013. The ground was the stage of three Confederations Cup matches. The stadium has a seating capacity of 46 thousand people, with 4,700 parking spaces. The arena adopts a multi-purpose concept so that after the tournament, it may be used as a venue for concerts, conventions and other events.

  • Mapping, Characterization and Analysis of Fires with Victims in Recife’S Metropolitan Zone
    DOI: 10.22278/2318-2660.2019.v43.n1.a2965 ARTIGO ORIGINAL DE TEMA LIVRE “AMONG DEAD AND WOUNDED”: MAPPING, CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF FIRES WITH VICTIMS IN RECIFE’S METROPOLITAN ZONE Roberto Ryanne Ferraz de Menezesa Cristiano Corrêab José Jéferson Rêgo e Silvac Tiago Ancelmo Piresd Abstract This article presents the mapping and analysis of fires with dead and wounded people in the Metropolitan Region of Recife (MRR) served by the Firefighters Department from 2013 to 2016. There was an average rate of 1 death per million inhabitants, similar to countries such as Singapore and Vietnam. The weighted number of fires per wounded or dead person results in rates of 0.5 and 1.7 per 100 recorded fires, respectively. These numbers are concerning, especially when compared to rates from other regions in the world. The victims of fires in MRR were shown to generally not be a perceivable problem in terms of common sense, yet they are real and require accurate analysis and effective measures. Keywords: Fires.

  • Xukuru Do Ororubá: Migrações E Afirmação De Identidade
    XUKURU DO ORORUBÁ: MIGRAÇÕES E AFIRMAÇÃO DE IDENTIDADE ∗ Edmundo Monte Introdução Na abordagem do conteúdo sobre processos migratórios durante o século XX, temos os nordestinos, ora castigados pela seca, ora esquecidos ou “maquiados” de preocupações pela República Federativa do Brasil, aparecendo como principais atores/vítimas nessas jornadas repletas de incertezas. Tentando seguir uma ordem cronológica, a seca e a escassez de trabalho no campo foram os principais motivos para milhares de famílias deixarem seus lares de origem, se arriscando e, na maioria das vezes, vivendo precariamente nas florestas úmidas da Amazônia, na região Sudeste, nas periferias das cidades em todas as regiões do País. Existem casos de cidadãos e cidadãs que obtiveram êxito em suas andanças, mas, basta percorrer parte de nosso país de dimensões continentais que constataremos a incansável luta desses migrantes para continuarem sobrevivendo sem precisar de auxílios externos. Em 5 anos de viagens de Norte a Sul do Brasil, utilizando diferentes meios de transporte, sendo a maioria do tipo terrestre - em torno de 80% deles - pudemos observar através de entrevistas e conversas de finais de tarde tais situações. São muitos os estudos que tratam do tema em questão, com levantamentos estatísticos, detalhes da natureza dos trabalhos exercidos pelos migrantes, condições de vida dessas pessoas, em diferentes campos do conhecimento. Nessa gama de enfoques e interesses específicos, dificilmente os povos indígenas aparecem nas publicações, sejam elas didáticas e, até certo ponto, nas inúmeras pesquisas acadêmico-científicas. Na maioria das vezes, os índios são confundidos como caboclos, flagelados da seca ou sertanejos nessas peregrinações em busca do desconhecido, de dias melhores.

    Apresentação Este trabalho tem o objetivo de condensar informações básicas sobre o Município, fornecendo dados históricos, socioeconômicos e culturais. Os dados aqui apresentados são, em sua maioria, originários de fontes secundárias de informações, principalmente: o IBGE, DATASUS, a STN ± Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional e o INEP/MEC. Observatório Socioeconômico AFOGADOSAFOGADOS DADA INGAZEIRAINGAZEIRA Histórico A área territorial do município de Afogados da Ingazeira pertencia a Data de Dois Riachos e de Santiago, sendo seu primeiro proprietário o Sr Eusébio da Gama, o território onde se localiza a sede municipal, era uma fazenda de criação de gado bovino, localizada à margem esquerda do Rio Pajeú. A localidade era conhecida por "Passagem da Barra", cuja a denominação foi motivada por um sítio denominado Barra, localizado na outra margem do Rio Pajeú. Com o crescimento da sede da fazenda, havia uma vez por mês, celebração religiosa, realizada pelo então padre José Antônio Ibiapina, que vinha da vila de Baixa Verde (Triunfo), com destino a cidade de Ingazeira. Numa dessas visitas pastorais, no último sábado do mês, o padre Ibiapina realizou um casamento de uns noivos provenientes do sítio Dois Riachos, os quais, quando atravessavam o referido Rio Pajeú, que estava num período de cheia, pereceram afogados no local. Isto ocorreu por volta do ano 1840, quando o local passou a ser conhecido por "Passagem dos Afogados". Em virtude da Lei Provincial në 1403 de 12 de maio de 1879, a "Passagem de Afogados" foi denominada simplesmente de "Vila de Afogados", a qual posteriormente foi designada popularmente com "Afogados da Ingazeira" por motivo de pertencer administrativamente ao município de Ingazeira.

  • The Slave Population in Pernambuco, Brazil, 1560-1872: a Macrodemographic Reconstruction
    Heitor P. de Moura Filho The Slave Population in Pernambuco, Brazil, 1560-1872: A Macrodemographic Reconstruction Abstract This paper exposes a demographic model to represent the evolution of the population of African slaves brought to the province of Pernambuco, Brazil, from 1560 to 1872, including their descendants. The main conclusion at this stage of the research is the confirmation that realistic combinations of mortality and fertility parameters, in a spreadsheet-based simulation, succeed in generating populations of size and distribution by age and sex that fit with those of Brazil’s first nationwide census, in 1872. Such combinations of parameters also reinforce the thesis that the slave trade was the main motor for the growth of the slave population and its descendants in that region.

We make use of two essential sets of historical data. The time series of African slaves disembarked in Pernambuco, researched and organized by Daniel Domingues da Silva and David Eltis (2008), constitutes the main demographic flow to influence the population of this province.

  • State of Repair of Marquees on Buildings in Recife, Brazil: Case Study and Quantitative Analysis
    State of Repair of Marquees on Buildings in Recife, Brazil: Case Study and Quantitative Analysis João Ribeiro de Carvalho 1 Thiago de Oliveira Chaves 1 Eudes de Arimatea Rocha 1 Antonio Carlos de Albuquerque Melo 2 Kalline Almeida 2 Eliana Cristina Barreto Monteiro 3 ABSTRACT In Brazil, the practice of undertaking periodical repairs to buildings still unfortunately seems tenuous for owners and the technical sector proper. Since no building was designed or built to last forever, each day more buildings appear with a shorter service life due to lack of maintenance. In this sense, the marquees, isostatic structures in balance, which have little connection with the rest of the structure, become slabs quite vulnerable to the action of pathological expressions, such as corrosion, efflorescence, mildew and damp. To assess the state of repair of the marquees of the buildings in downtown Recife, a visual inspection with photographic report follow-up and later quantitative analysis of the pathological expressions found were proposed. The qualitative conservation of marquees was analyzed in three case studies that were chosen in earlier inspections because of their poor state of repair, their peculiar or representative interventions, and pathologies that would primarily allow easy access for their inspection. This paper is even more relevant when the collected data herein give a general idea of the state of repair of marquees of buildings in downtown Recife, and could be used to repair the degraded marquees, thus preventing accidents.

A pesquisa foi baseada em registros das memórias orais indígenas, jornais da época, documentação do DOPS e relatórios oficiais. As autoridades alertavam que ocorria a doutrinação dos índios em sua “ignorância” pelos comunistas, mas os índios chamados “caboclos” da Serra do Ororubá que viviam explorados na condição de moradores e trabalhadores assalariados pelos latifundiários, apesar da forte repressão oficial viram nas Ligas uma possibilidade de conquistar parte de suas terras. Palavras-chave : índios; História; Ligas Camponesas; Nordeste. Abstract: The aim of this paper is to highlight the mobilization and participation of Xukuru Peasant Leagues in the early 1960s in Pesqueira / PE, in lands of an ancient Indian village overrun by the landowners. The research was based on records of indigenous oral memoirs, newspapers of the time, documentation of DOPS and official reports. Authorities warned that occurred indoctrination of the Indians in their "ignorance" the Communists, but the Indians called "shifting cultivators" Serra do Ororubá living operated on condition of residents and workers by landowners, despite the strong repression seen in official leagues a chance to win some of their land.

  • Climate Drivers of Hospitalizations for Mycoses in Brazil
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Climate drivers of hospitalizations for mycoses in Brazil Fabrício Brito Silva1, Jessfan Rafael Nascimento Santos1, Letícia Chagas da Silva 1, Wolia Costa Gomes1, Paulo Cesar Mendes Villis1, Eliane dos Santos Gomes2, 1,3 4 Received: 5 July 2018 Edilene de Araújo Diniz Pinheiro , Conceição de Maria Pedrozo e Silva de Azevedo , Rosane da Silva Dias5, Cristina de Andrade Monteiro6 & Julliana Ribeiro Alves Santos1 Accepted: 18 April 2019 Published: xx xx xxxx Climate can modulate human health at large spatial scales, but the infuence of global, regional, and local environments remains poorly understood, especially for neglected diseases, such as mycoses. In this work, we present the correlation between climatic variables and hospitalizations for mycoses in Brazilian state capitals, evaluating the period of 2008 to 2016 at diferent time scales. The results indicate that climate modulates the hospitalizations for mycoses diferently at annual and monthly time scales, with minimum temperature as a key climatic variable during periods of high prevalence in the 10 Brazilian capitals with the highest hospitalizations for mycoses rates. The greatest number of hospitalizations coincided with La Niña events, while a reduction was observed during El Niño events, thereby demonstrating the infuence of the Pacifc Interdecadal Climate Oscillation on the prevalence of mycoses in Brazil. At a regional scale, the mycoses burden in Brazil appears to respond diferently to local and global climatic drivers. Mycoses are neglected, under-diagnosed, and sub-estimated diseases, that represent an important public health problem, yet they are not compulsorily notifable diseases in Brazil. Since pathogenic fungi causing systemic mycoses are found in the environment, we hypothesised that outbreaks would be afected by geoclimatic fac- tors such as wind, precipitation, air temperature, and absolute and relative air humidity.

Owing to limited supplies and concerns regarding species survival, interest exists in establishing pernambuco plantations to provide future bow-quality wood. For native forest- and plantation- grown woods we examined several wood properties considered important in determining bow quality including basic density, modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR) measured using static bending samples, air-dry den- sity, microfibril angle (MFA), and stiffness using SilviScan. Color, extractives content and loss tangent (tan δ) were measured for a subsample of the static bending samples. Finally, the samples were also ranked based on their poten- tial for manufacturing high-quality bows (0 = poor, 1 = good and 2 = excellent) by an experienced bow maker. No evidence of differences between means for density, MOE and MOR for native, and 25- and 30-year-old plantation-grown pernambuco was observed; however, when sorted based on quality, the excellent group had higher density, MOE and MOR.
