Since ancient times, passing through the first known anatomic studies in the Middle Ages to the use of modern molecular techniques for the study of physiopathological processes, autopsy has shown to be a very rich source of material and inspiration for the advancement of scientific knowledge. Although a wide range of imaging techniques have emerged, several studies have shown that the aut…
In a classical study, Durkheim mapped suicide rates, wealth, and low family density and realized that they clustered in northern France. Assessing others variables, such as religious society, he constructed a framework for the analysis of the suicide, which still allows international comparisons using the same basic methodology. The present study aims to identify possible significantly cl…
The proposal is to teach an advanced level intensive course in spatio-temporal analysis of multi-temporal remotely sensed imagery. The classes, designed for advanced graduate and post graduate students, will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of quantitative spatio-temporal analysis with applications for geographers, geoscientists and engineers. The format will involve lectures …

The safest place for a child or teenager should be their home. That's not how it always happens. Homes are often places where children and adolescents suffer mistreatment, abuse and neglect. Evidence shows that physical and psychological violence at home, inflicted by primary caregivers, is the most frequent form of violence against children and adolescents in the world (VCA). Due to viol…
The growing aging of the population in the world is a major concern of the 21st century, since people over 60 need social and economic planning and measures to ensure adequate attention to the basic needs of life and well-being, especially in megacities that have socioeconomic and environmental disparities. The elderly, because they present social, physiological and often financial limita…
The urban space of the municipality of São Paulo has imprinted in its geography the social differences in the composition of its landscape. By the end of the Twentieth Century, the city took disproportionate dimensions and gained the status of metropolis. Today, the municipality is set up by concentrating a large contingent of people in the sparsely populated areas of the city, under risk…
Half the world's population became urban in 2008. Projections for the period of 2007 to 2050 indicate a worldwide increase of 2.5 billion people. Population growth will increase urban inequities in megacities of the developing countries. In these locations, the growth will be represented in large part by residents of precarious settlements. Most studies regarding these areas adopt a dicho…

Several studies have shown that heatwaves events will be more intense and frequent in the future, being a major public health problem worldwide. Heatwaves events are associated with the increase of mortality and hospital admissions rates, especially, in elderly, the most susceptible group. The risk of heatwave-related mortality can increase according to demographic determinants, social is…
Half the world's population became urban in 2008. Projections for the period of 2007 to 2050 indicate a worldwide increase of 2.5 billion people. Population growth will increase urban inequities in megacities of developing countries. In these locations, the growth will be represented in large part by residents of slums, dwelling place for the population officially recognized as vulnerable…
Several studies have suggested that green spaces present within the neighborhoods have a positive association with physical activity. The association between green areas and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases has also been studied, although this relationship is not well established. Thus the aim of this study is to investigate the influence of geographical co…
