The measurements were performed by the Laboratory of Applied Nuclear Physics of UTFPR in 2009 - 2011 when 120 detectors were installed at domiciles and workplaces of Curitiba, Paraná St., Brazil. Experimental setup was based at CR-39 detectors that were installed in diffusion chambers protected with filters. In collaboration with CDTN/CNEN it was performed the calibration of CR-39 detectors at the NIRS in Japan. The exposure time was set to be of 100 days.

Métodos: Foi utilizado o Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade para avaliar a ocorrência de causas garbage (CG) nas declarações de óbito (DO) de residentes nos estados e capitais da região Sul entre 2015 e 2016. As CG foram comparadas com os demais estados e agrupadas por nível de gravidade (N1 a N4, segundo potencial decrescente de impacto sobre o perfil de mortalidade). Foram avaliados os CG de N1 e N2 na faixa etária de 0 a 74 anos, segundo local de ocorrência e médico atestante. Resultados: A ocorrência de CG geral variou de 29% a 31% entre os três estados, abaixo da média nacional (34%). As CG N1 e N2 foram semelhantes nos estados e heterogêneas nas capitais. A maioria dos óbitos foram hospitalares, onde ocorreram 55% a 64% das CG N1 e N2 nos estados e 39% a 55% nas capitais. Nos óbitos domiciliares, esta proporção variou de 25% a 31% e de 25% a 40%, respectivamente. Mais de 30% dos médicos atestantes (exceto em Florianópolis) não identificaram seu vínculo com o paciente, declarando-se como “outros” no campo correspondente da DO.

Curitiba, Brazil Nicole Mikesh ‘People-Centric Planning on a Budget’
Curitiba, Brazil Nicole Mikesh ‘People-centric planning on a budget’ It is possible to have a livable city without spending top dollar. “The dream of a better city is always in the heads of its residents. Our city isn’t a paradise. It has most of the problems of other cities. But when we provide good buses and schools and health clinics, everybody feels respected. The strategic vision ... leads us to put the first priorities on the child and the environment. For there is no deeper feeling of solidarity than that of dealing with the citizen of to- morrow, the child, and the environment in which that child is going to live.”- Jamie Lerner, former mayor of Curitiba. (ICLEI-Canada) “The result of the strategy--which put people at the center and emphasized integrated planning--is that the city has become a showcase of ecological and humane urbanism, with ongoing improvements over the past 38 years to social, economic and environmental conditions for its residents. Curitiba has become the most sustainable of cities, in the process proving that applying a city-strategy with strong values and a focus on integrated systems can harness the actions of planning departments to meet common strategic object” (ICLEI-Canada) CONTEXT Historical spatial and governance foundation In the 1950s Curitiba was the modest 150,000 person capitol of the Brazilian military-state of Paraná. Curitiba was the processing and distribution center for the surrounding agricul- tural industry. At its peak during the 1960s, the state of Paraná produced 1/3 of the world’s coffee (Scwartz, Hugh).
