PRACTICAL INFORMATION– RIO DE JANEIRO CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE RATE: The official currency of Brazil is the Real. Its symbol is R $ and its fraction are 100 cents. There are coins of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 cents and 1 real. Notes are issued from 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 real. One important tip for the people that are considering to attend the meeting in Brazil is to avoid changing dollars or euros at airports, because the price will be much less than what is possible to get even in hotels. CLIMATE: Given that Brazil is such a large country, it is natural to have different climates and temperatures and that weather conditions vary from city to city. However, 90 percent of the country is tropical. Temperatures in cities like Belo Horizonte and Brasilia, vary from 15 degrees Celsius to 30 degrees Celsius. Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Salvador have temperatures ranging from 23 to 27 degrees Celsius. However, in cities like Sao Paulo, Curitiba and Porto Alegre temperatures can drop below 0 degrees Celsius. VOLTAGE: 110 and 120 Volts. TIME ZONE: UTC/GMT -3 PASSPORT AND VISA: We recommend you to check the status of your Passport and also if you need a visa (http://www.conbrasil.org.ar/CONSBRASIL/visas_otros01.asp) to enter Brazil. MAIN PLACES OF INTEREST: Located on the Brazilian Atlantic coast and surrounded by a heavenly landscape in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro is waiting for us to transmit its warmth and joy. Its famous beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon have been the subject of hundreds of songs and are visited each year by thousands of tourists. Two characteristic symbols that identify the city of Rio are: Pan de Azúcar, a mountain whose top it is possible to visit by cable car, and a Christ of forty metres high on the top of the Corcovado, the mountain that dominates the city with its seven hundred meters. Rio was the former capital of the Portuguese colonies in America and today has a population of more than six million people that celebrate its joy each year. .

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.

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.

Useful Flora Grown and Traded in Recife, Brazil
Sustainable Development and Planning XI 207 USEFUL FLORA GROWN AND TRADED IN RECIFE, BRAZIL ISABEL MARIA MADALENO Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning (IGOT), Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal ABSTRACT Recife is a coastal city located in Brazil. The Atlantic seashores were occupied in the beginning of the 16th century by the Portuguese, in search for Brazil-wood first and sugarcane, later, both very precious for Europe. After the Dutch conquered the now state of Pernambuco, in 1630, local population came down the hills of Olinda to settle close to the rivers Capibaribe and Beberibe, where a new urban agglomerate grew, named Recife, the Portuguese word for reef. This Brazilian Venice, known for its water channels and greenery, now has a million and a half residents and still proudly displays the tall coconut trees that impressed the early European colonisers. Coconuts are the first ranking species consumed in Recife, as the survey conducted in late 2019 and early 2020 proved. Research follows the methodology used in previous studies: (1) examination of 16th and 17th century manuscripts; and (2) in-depth interviews to local fruit, spice, and medicinal plant traders (47) and to urban gardeners (3). Results from the 50 testimonies show that about 192 native and exotic species are grown and traded in Recife, 46.9% of which are consumed as food, about 43.8% as medicines, 8.8% as spices and 0.5% had other uses. The first objective of this contribution is to further feed the database gathered for two decades about Latin American flora, the second one is to explain the urban growth of Recife, in Brazil, and the third is to compare old and current usages, of the same plant species.

Brazil: Recife, False Gem of the Northeast Brazil November 1967 Mr
INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Recife, Pernambuco Brazil: Recife, False Gem of the Northeast Brazil November 1967 Mr. Richard H. NoIte Institute of Current World Affairs 366 Madison Avenue New York, New York lOO17 Dear Mr. Nolte: It was Saturday night, about 9:30. Only a wide street and a row of palms separated my hotel from the Rio Capibaribe---beyond lay the island of Recife. A grove of derricks and ship masts on the far side sprouted above weatherbeaten warehouses and a colonial church, the whole fused by a patina of dun, chalk, sepia and shadow. The lamps on the quay cast a silver glaze across the water, shattered into brilliants by the breeze. On the street below buses braked amd idled at the stop. Disembar- ked, animated Saturday-nighters scurried among the traffic, angling off BELOW. Scenes Over Recife. On the left, from the main island, Santo An- tonio, across the Rio Capibaribe to the island of Recife, and the ocean beyond. On the right, the island of Santo Antonio with ocean and break- water in the distance. toward the center of the city. In contrast, one middle-age woman stepped from the curb, retreated, linered near the stop. A beige Volkswagen slewed alongside of her. She approached. It sped away. About 20 minutes later, I watched another woman just off the bus---this one in a tailored white blouse, neatly tucked into a mini-skirt---belted, narrow and delft blue---showing the slim legs of a pretty young girl, 17 or 18. She hesitated, crossed to the strip of park in the middle of the street and sat on a bench.

The Roots of Black Resistance: Race, Gender and the Struggle for Urban Land Rights in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
Social Identities, Volume 10, Number 6, 2004 |^ Carfax Publishing The Roots of Black Resistance: Race, Gender and the Struggle for Urban Land Rights in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil KEISHA-KHAN Y. PERRY The University of Texas at Austin ABSTRACT: In Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, during the past ten years, the city has transformed its historical centre into cultural sites for leisure tourism. This process has included projects of 'slum clearance', negatively impacting black communities who have historically occupied these areas. In this essay, I present an ethnographic account of Gamboa de Baixo, a black coastal community in the centre of Salvador, and its political movement against urban renewal programmes. Specifically, I focus on the articulation of racial and gender politics in black women's grassroots activism against land expulsion and for access to material resources. This case in Salvador unearths one aspect of institutional racism in Brazil and the formation of an anti-black racism resistance movement. Resistance to urban renewal plans in Salvador demonstrates how struggles for urban land rights are a crucial part of engaging in the broader national and international politics of race. In black communities in Brazil and throughout the African diaspora, urban land and territorial rights are the local idioms of black resistance. Introduction Brazil as a nation proclaims herself the only racial democracy in the world, and much of the world views and accepts her as such. But an examination of the historical development of my country reveals the true nature of her social, cultural, political and economic anatomy: it is essentially racist and vitally threatening to Black people.
