Résumé Cet article a pour but de démontrer la pertinence de l´approche transversale des chiffres et des cartes afin de mettre en évidence le pouvoir performatif qui se dégage de leurs intersections tecnhopolitiques telles que le concept de densité de population et la régionalisation du territoire. Appliquée au Brésil, l´étude croisée met en lumière des aspects du processus de construction de l´État, de la centralisation de l´autorité politique et de la création de nouvelles catégories de personnes et d´espaces de gouvernement. Pour ce faire, les tendances qui ont rapproché la statistique et la cartographie au cours de l´Empire brésilien y sont annalysées, en comprenant leur rôle en tant qu´instruments descriptifs du pouvoir souverain. De même, l´article aborde les circonstances qui conduissent à l´importance croissante des chiffres et des cartes comme une référente commune pour l´action collective et la production d´identités sociales. Basé sur le cadre de la sociologie de la quantification, l´article s´intéresse à l´émergence de la cartographie statistique et la régionalisation croissante des données officielles entre les années 1920 et 1940, liée à une nouvelle façon de definir la «brésilité », d´ordonner le territoire et de gouverner la population.

Abstract This article takes a cross-disciplinary approach to numbers and maps to demonstrate the performative power that emerges from their technopolitical intersections, such as the concept of population density and regional delineation of territory. Applied to the Brazilian context, this combined analysis sheds light on aspects related to the construction of State authority and its power to create categories of people and places. To do so, this paper examines trends that bring statistics and cartography together in the Brazilian Empire, indicating a common status for maps and numbers as descriptive instruments of sovereign power, including their modes of use and conditions for producing and validating truth. Subsequently, it addresses the factors leading to the growing importance of numbers and maps for collective action and the production of shared identities. Drawing on references from the sociology of quantification, this paper focuses on the emergence of statistical cartography and the increasing regionalization of official data between the 1920s and 1940s – linked to a new way of defining Brazilian identity, organizing territory, and managing population. It concludes that quantifying is also visualizing demographic and economic quantities in a coherent and unitary spatiality, once stabilized by conventions of equivalence. crossdisciplinary cross disciplinary intersections territory context places so Empire truth Subsequently identities quantification s identity spatiality equivalence

PURPOSE: Osteoporosis and fragility fractures are expected to rise in a rapidly aging South African population. However, currently, there are limited prevalence studies available for this population METHODS: We assessed the prevalence of osteoporosis from all Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans on referral to a tertiary academic hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa. All DEXA scans were analyzed between January 01, 2006, and December 31, 2021. The World Health Organization (WHO) criteria were used to diagnose osteoporosis RESULTS: Of the 2264 DEXA scans analysed, 880 were osteoporotic (96.4% females, 3.6% males), with an overall osteoporosis prevalence of 38.8% (CI 38.6-40.8). The prevalence increased with age. Bone mineral density T-scores were lower in subjects with lower body mass index. The vertebral body with the highest prevalence of fractures was thoracic level T12. There were no significant differences when comparing T-scores by various bony regions between males and females above age 50 CONCLUSION: In those referred for DEXA scans, this study found a high prevalence of osteoporosis, especially in the older South African population, with notable levels in postmenopausal women. Being underweight was associated with increased severity. We also found a higher incidence of vertebral deformities with increasing age

Water scarcity is a global problem exacerbated by the ever-increasing population and climate change, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Different water resource management strategies, such as rainwater harvesting, have been proposed and implemented worldwide to combat water shortage. Mapping of the optimum sites where these rainwater harvesting structures can be constructed is very important. The main objective of this study was to map and identify, using GIS, optimum sites for the construction of rainwater harvesting structures (farm ponds, check dams and percolation ponds) for agricultural and peri-urban purposes in Eswatini. The optimum sites were identified by overlaying various thematic layers including land use and cover, slope, runoff potential, soil texture and depth and drainage density using ArcGIS 10.8. A general rainwater harvesting suitability map was produced for Eswatini, then potential sites for different rainwater harvesting structures were identified. The results of the study indicated that all three rainwater harvesting structures have suitable sites where they can be constructed. Check dams have potential sites which cover 22.7% of the suitable area in Eswatini, while farm pond and percolation pond sites covers 19.7% and 65%, respectively. Information on existing structures such as dams and earth dams for water storage may need to be gathered to verify the proposed sites of the rainwater harvesting structures. This study was able to identify new sites where structures can be constructed for rainwater harvesting which can improve water availability during dry seasons. Further evaluation may need to be done before implementation of these structures. Moreover, implementing this is subject to a number of other factors, such as the economy, feasibility studies as well as social implications. However, the results of this study will assist policy and decision makers in planning for potential sites for water storage as an adaptation to drought and climate change.

ABSTRACT The search for cropping systems that aim to have the best area use, optimize production, and guarantee financial profitability to the producer and their establishment in the field are challenges of modern research. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the productive and monetary viability of intercropping radish and coriander fertilized with equitable amounts of hairy woodrose and roostertree biomass from the Caatinga ecosystem at different coriander population densities in two cropping seasons. The experimental design used was randomized blocks, with treatments arranged in a 4 × 4 factorial scheme with four replications. The first factor was constituted by four equitable amounts of hairy woodrose and roostertree biomass (20, 35, 50 and 65 t ha-1 on a dry basis), and the second factor was constituted by coriander population densities (40, 60, 80 and 100% of the recommended density for monocropping, RDM). The greatest agronomic and monetary advantages of intercropping radish with coriander were obtained with a land equivalent coefficient and a monetary equivalence ratio of 0.42 and 0.76, respectively, in the amounts of hairy woodrose and roostertree biomass of 20 and 39 t ha-1 added to the soil, in the coriander population density of 100% of the RDM. The coriander green mass yield and commercial productivity of radish roots optimized in the intercropping were 1.25 and 14.90 t ha-1 when fertilized with 65 t ha-1 of green manures biomass in the coriander population density of 100% RDM.

ABSTRACT Urbanization may significantly impact wild population dynamics, even in protected green spaces. From 2016 to 2018, we accessed an assemblage of freshwater turtles isolated in an urban remnant of the Atlantic Forest, southern Brazil. We captured turtles by active search, hookless fishing, and funnel trap, and we marked them individually. Using a capture-mark-recapture method, we estimated population density, and movement, including home range size and habitat selection. Home ranges were estimated using the 100% minimum convex polygon method and habitat selections through eigenanalysis. We captured 41 specimens of Phrynops geoffroanus (Schweigger, 1812), 35 Trachemys dorbigni (Duméril & Bibron, 1835), and 20 Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied-Neuwied, 1839). The invasive T. dorbigni showed the highest density (1.72 individual/ha), followed by the native P. geoffroanus (1.36 individual/ha) and the invasive T. scripta elegans (0.87 individual/ha). Home range sizes for P. geoffroanus and T. dorbigni ranged between 0.04-0.48 ha, with the latter species covering the longest distance (525.8 m). All three species showed a preference for habitats influenced by human presence (walkways). Our findings highlight the anthropic influence on the movement of the freshwater turtle assemblage and underscore the need for enhanced protection of native species and control of invasive turtles. This study provides essential baseline data for future researches and management of urban areas.

Analisou-se a associação dos indicadores de vulnerabilidade social com a taxa de incidência de casos graves de COVID-19 em gestantes em Pernambuco, Brasil, entre 2020 e 2021. Este é um estudo ecológico com os casos graves de gestantes com COVID-19, notificados no Sistema de Informação de Vigilância Epidemiológica da Gripe. Para a associação entre a vulnerabilidade social e esses casos, aplicou-se o modelo de regressão gama ajustado de zeros (ZAGA), devido ao grande número de zeros na variável resposta. Utilizou-se variáveis disponíveis no censo demográfico, representando condições socioambientais, características domiciliares e de serviços urbanos. Foram registrados 475 casos graves de COVID-19 em gestantes, com taxa de incidência de 1,40 por 1.000 nascidos vivos. A modelagem com o ZAGA mostrou que a média da taxa de incidência de casos é afetada pela taxa de analfabetismo, sendo que a cada 1%, a média aumenta relativamente 5,1% (p = 0,024). O modelo ZAGA também estima a chance de um município ter taxa zero, sendo que esses valores aumentam em: 2,7% a cada 1% de proporção da cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família, em 19,3% a cada 0,01 ponto de Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal (IDH-M) educação e 21,3% a cada 0,01 ponto de IDH-M longevidade. Quando o IDH-M aumenta, a chance de o município ter taxa zero diminui em 33,8% a cada 0,01 ponto. A densidade demográfica diminui a chance em 4,5% a cada 10 habitantes/km2. O estudo evidenciou a influência dos indicadores de vulnerabilidade social sobre a incidência de casos de COVID-19 grave em gestantes, em que alguns aspectos referentes às características sociais e demográficas estão relacionados.

Se analizó la asociación de indicadores de vulnerabilidad social con la tasa de incidencia de casos graves del COVID-19 en mujeres embarazadas en Pernambuco, Brasil, entre 2020 y 2021. Se trata de un estudio ecológico con los casos graves de mujeres embarazadas con COVID-19 reportados en el Sistema de Información de Vigilancia Epidemiológica de Influenza. Para la asociación entre la vulnerabilidad social y estos casos, se aplicó la distribución gamma ajustada a cero (ZAGA), debido a la gran cantidad de ceros en la variable de respuesta. Se utilizaron variables disponibles en el censo demográfico que representan condiciones socioambientales, características del hogar y servicios urbanos. Se encontraron 475 casos graves del covid-19 en mujeres embarazadas, con una tasa de incidencia de 1,40 por 1.000 nacidos vivos. El modelo ZAGA mostró que la tasa promedio de incidencia de casos se ve afectada por la tasa de analfabetismo, por lo cual el promedio aumenta relativamente un 5,1% (p = 0,024) por cada 1%. Este modelo también estima la probabilidad de que un municipio tenga una tasa cero, y estos valores aumentan en un 2,7% por cada 1% de proporción de cobertura de la Estrategia de Salud Familiar, en un 19,3% por cada 0,01 puntos de nivel de estudios en el Índice Municipal de Desarrollo Humano (IDH-M) y en un 21,3% por cada 0,01 puntos de longevidad en el IDH-M. Cuando aumenta el IDH-M, la probabilidad de que el municipio tenga una tasa cero disminuye en un 33,8% por cada 0,01 puntos. La densidad demográfica disminuye la probabilidad en un 4,5% por cada 10 habitantes/km2. Este estudio mostró la influencia de los indicadores de vulnerabilidad social en la incidencia de casos graves del COVID-19 en mujeres embarazadas, los cuales se relacionan con algunos aspectos como las características sociales y demográficas.

This study analyzed the association between social vulnerability indicators and the incidence rate of severe COVID-19 in pregnant women in Pernambuco State, Brazil, between 2020 and 2021. It is an ecological study that assessed severe cases of COVID-19 in pregnant women reported to the Influenza Surveillance System in Brazil. To determine such association, the zero adjusted Gamma (ZAGA) regression model was applied due to the large number of zeros in the response variable. Variables available in the Demographic Census were used, representing socioenvironmental conditions, household characteristics, and urban services. In the study period, 475 severe cases of COVID-19 were reported in pregnant women, with an incidence rate of 1.40 cases per 1,000 live births. Modeling with ZAGA showed that the mean incidence rate is affected by the illiteracy rate, with the average increasing by a relative 5.1% for every 1% (p = 0.024). The ZAGA model also estimates the chance of a municipality having a zero rate, with these values increasing by 2.7% for every 1% of the proportion of Family Health Strategy coverage, by 19.3% for every 0.01 of the Municipal Human Development Index (M-HDI) education dimension, and by 21.3% for every 0.01 of the M-HDI longevity dimension. When the M-HDI increases, the chance of the municipality having a zero rate decreases by 33.8% for every 0.01. Population density reduces the chance by 4.5% for every 10 inhabitants/km2. This study highlighted the influence of social vulnerability indicators on the incidence of severe COVID-19 cases in pregnant women, showing that some aspects of social and demographic characteristics are related to such influence.

RESUMO Este estudo teve como foco avaliar a eficiência na distribuição de sementes de soja no solo, influenciando diretamente a produtividade da lavoura utilizando o grafite como lubrificante sólido, uma prática comum para melhorar a fluidez na dosagem de sementes. Foi investigada a interação entre a velocidade de semeadura e o tratamento químico das sementes na distribuição no sulco, na população final de plantas e na produtividade. O experimento foi conduzido no delineamento de blocos aumentados de Federer, com 10 tratamentos, abrangendo cinco velocidades de semeadura (4, 6, 8, 10 e 12 km h-1) e dois tratamentos de sementes (com e sem adição de 4 g de lubrificante grafitado por quilograma de sementes). Verificou-se que altas velocidades de semeadura aumentam a irregularidade na distribuição das sementes, enquanto o uso de lubrificante grafitado melhorou significativamente o espaçamento aceitável das plantas e aumentou o rendimento da cultura. O estudo reforça a importância do ajuste preciso da velocidade de semeadura e do tratamento adequado das sementes para otimizar a distribuição das plantas de soja no campo. A utilização de lubrificante grafitado mostrou-se uma prática eficaz para reduzir falhas na distribuição das sementes e aumentar a produtividade da cultura. Esses resultados destacam a relevância de práticas agrícolas precisas e do uso de tecnologias para garantir uma operação de semeadura eficiente e sustentável. solo sólido sulco Federer 1 4, (4 6 8 h1 h h-1 . sementes) Verificouse Verificou se cultura campo mostrouse mostrou sustentável ( h-

ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess the efficiency of soybean seed distribution in the soil, which directly influences crop yield, using graphite as a solid lubricant, a common practice to improve seed dosing fluidity. The effect of sowing speed and seed chemical treatment on distribution in the furrow, final plant population, and yield was investigated. The experiment used Federer´s augmented block design with 10 treatments, five sowing speeds (4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 km h-1) and two seed treatments (with and without 4 g of graphite lubricant per kilogram of seeds). High sowing speeds increased uneven seed distribution, while graphite lubricant significantly improved plant spacing and crop yield. This study reinforces the importance of precise sowing speed adjustment and proper seed treatment to optimize soybean plant distribution in the field. Graphite lubricant proved to be effective at reducing spacing failures and increasing crop yield. These findings underscore the relevance of precision agriculture and the use of technology to ensure efficient and sustainable sowing operations. soil fluidity furrow population investigated Federers Federer s 1 4, (4 6 8 h1 h h-1 seeds. seeds . seeds) field operations ( h-

ABSTRACT Agonoscena pistaciae (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is a significant pest in pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) orchards in Türkiye. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of yellow sticky traps as an alternative method for controlling A. pistaciae populations in pistachio orchards. Conducted in late September and early October of 2021 and 2022, during peak pest activity, the experiment was carried out in Siirt, with three replicates following a randomized block design. Five traps were hung on all sides of each tree for sampling. Repeated measures ANOVA (repeated measures; general linear model) was used to observe changes over time. The results indicated that yellow sticky traps were highly effective in mass trapping adults, capturing an average maximum of 12 332.67 adults per trap. A significant decrease in the number of nymphs and eggs on the leaves was observed in the yellow sticky trap-treated trees compared to the control plots by mid-October (P < 0.05). Specifically, the average number of nymphs per composite leaf dropped from 24.95 to 11.23 in 2021, and from 145.18 to 27.29 in 2022. Similarly, the average number of eggs per composite leaf decreased from 61.18 to 2.29 in 2021, and from 73.56 to 3.64 in 2022. These findings suggest that yellow sticky traps can significantly reduce psyllid populations in pistachio orchards over the long term and can be an effective control method when used early in the vegetative period for low- to medium-sized psyllid populations.

Resumen: Estudios previos en países del Norte Global han documentado un descenso de los movimientos internos de población durante la pandemia de COVID-19, acompañado de un aumento de los desplazamientos desde las grandes ciudades hacia áreas menos densamente pobladas. Sin embargo, no hay evidencias consistentes sobre el efecto de la pandemia en los movimientos de población a través de la jerarquía urbana en el Sur Global. En esta investigación se utilizan datos de telefonía móvil de usuarios de Facebook entre abril de 2020 y mayo de 2022 para analizar cómo cambiaron las intensidades y los patrones de movilidad de larga distancia (>100 km) entre diferentes categorías de densidad de población durante la COVID-19 en México. Los resultados muestran un descenso del 40% en los movimientos de usuarios en el periodo de abril a diciembre de 2020. Al contrario que en los países desarrollados, no se identificó un aumento en los desplazamientos desde las grandes ciudades, sino un descenso generalizado tanto en los flujos de salida como en los de entrada en todas las categorías de densidad de población, excepto en los movimientos interrurales. Además, la mayor reducción se registró en los desplazamientos desde y hacia las grandes ciudades, que cayeron 50%. Al igual que en el Norte Global, las intensidades y los patrones de movilidad recuperaron progresivamente los valores y tendencias observados con anterioridad a la COVID-19 durante 2021 y 2022, aunque las grandes ciudades mostraron una recuperación más lenta y siguieron registrando movimientos de salida y entrada ligeramente inferiores aún en mayo de 2022.

Abstract: Previous studies documented a decline of internal population movements during the COVID-19 pandemic across Global North countries, accompanied by an increase in movements from large cities to less densely populated areas. However, there is no consistent evidence on the effect of the pandemic on population movements across the urban hierarchy in the Global South. We use mobile phone data from Facebook users between April 2020 and May 2022 to analyse how the intensity and patterns of long-distance mobility (>100 km) changed in different population density categories during COVID-19 in Mexico. The results show a drop of 40% in the total number of movements during the period of April-December 2020. Contrary to developed countries, we do not identify an increase of movements away from large cities, but a consistent decrease in both outflows and inflows in all population density categories, except for inter-rural movements. In addition, we observe the largest reduction in movements to and from large cities, which declined by 50%. As in the Global North, the intensity and patterns of internal mobility progressively recovered across 2021 and 2022, returning to pre-pandemic levels. Nonetheless, large cities showed a slower recovery and continued to register slightly lower outflows and inflows still in May 2022.

Abstract: Although current consensus often portrays urban density as socially desirable, different city actors imagine, politicize, dispute, and/or resist it. This article analyzes the meanings of urban density in the public debate surrounding the enactment of a new zoning code for the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The announcement of its renewal created a public issue, with neighborhood organizations offering alternative perspectives on urban planning, morphology, and city growth. To examine these meanings, we implemented a qualitative research strategy, including interviews with key representatives from these organizations, observations at hearings and meetings, and analysis of official documents and minutes from participatory spaces. We found that the local government framed the urban planning modifications as virtuous densification efforts aimed at promoting sustainability, affordability, and habitability. However, neighborhood organizations contested these changes, criticizing them as a generalized and harmful increase in construction volumes designed to double the city’s population and create land for real estate development.

Resumen: Aunque ciertos consensos actuales sobre planificación presentan la densidad urbana como socialmente deseable, esta es imaginada, politizada, disputada y/o resistida por distintos actores en la ciudad. Este artículo se propone analizar los sentidos sobre la densidad urbana en la discusión pública por la sanción de un nuevo código de zonificación para la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. El anuncio de su renovación configuró un problema público en el que las organizaciones vecinales presentaron formas alternativas de entender el ordenamiento urbano, la morfología y el crecimiento de la ciudad. Para estudiar estos sentidos, desplegamos una estrategia de investigación cualitativa que incluyó entrevistas a referentes de dichas organizaciones, observaciones en audiencias y encuentros, y el análisis de documentos oficiales y minutas de espacios participativos. Encontramos que el gobierno local presentó las modificaciones al ordenamiento urbano como formas virtuosas de densificación que traerían sustentabilidad, asequibilidad y habitabilidad. Sin embargo, las organizaciones vecinales impugnaron dichas modificaciones como un aumento generalizado y perjudicial de los volúmenes a construir para duplicar la población de la ciudad y generar suelo para el desarrollo inmobiliario.

Abstract: Verticalization refers to a transformation process where high-rise buildings become the predominant typology of urban development, leading to changes in morphology and functional fabric. This article examines the urban growth model based on verticalization in the Metropolitan Area of Concepción, southern Chile's most significant urban system. It aims to characterize the phenomenon of verticalization using the theory of density anatomies as a conceptual framework and to explain its localization logic from the perspectives of accessibility and urban planning. The methodology involves characterizing the anatomies of density and verticalization in the AMC. The results indicate that verticalization increased residential density, but population density decreased during the analyzed period. The discussion highlights three key findings: (1) Dispersed verticalization and density decrease; (2) Diverse anatomies of verticalization; and (3) Incidental and differentiating factors of verticalization: the silence and delayed action of urban planning. Territorial planning instruments have not played a predominant role in directing verticalization. Additionally, the relationship between verticalization and accessibility to transportation services is unclear, with variations in the location of high-rise residential buildings.

Resumen: La verticalización corresponde a un proceso de transformación donde los edificios en altura derivan en una tipología predominante de desarrollo urbano, detonando cambios en su morfología y tejido funcional. Este artículo aborda el modelo de crecimiento urbano con base a la verticalización en el Área Metropolitana de Concepción, el sistema urbano más relevante del sur de Chile. Tiene por objetivo caracterizar el fenómeno de la verticalización, usando como lente conceptual la teoría de las anatomías de la densidad y explicando sus lógicas de localización desde las dimensiones de la accesibilidad y la planificación urbana. La metodología se basa en la caracterización de las anatomías de la densidad y la verticalización en el AMC. Los resultados indican que la verticalización promovió un aumento de la densidad residencial, pero la densidad poblacional disminuyó en el periodo analizado. La discusión se centra en tres hallazgos: (1) verticalización dispersa y disminución de la densidad; (2) anatomías diversas de la verticalización, y (3) factores incidentes y diferenciadores de la verticalización, específicamente, el mutismo y la acción tardía de la planificación urbana. Se constata que los instrumentos de planificación territorial no han tenido un papel preponderante en dirigir la verticalización. Tampoco es clara la relación entre verticalización y accesibilidad a servicios de transporte, con variaciones en la localización de los edificios residenciales en altura.

A proporção enfermeiromédico foi 1:0,72, 1:1,05 e 1:1,22 nos três anos, respectivamente. Os coeficientes de alocação de recursos de enfermagem para a população permanente e área foram 0,24, 0,20 e 0,12 e 0,74, 0,72 e 0,72, respectivamente. O índice de densidade de recursos de enfermagem foi 0,50, 0,91 e 1,42, respectivamente. Conclusão: O estudo mostra que a equidade de recursos de enfermagem com base na população aumentou enquanto a equidade com base na região ainda apresentava disparidade, com um contínuo aumento na densidade de recursos humanos de enfermagem ao longo dos anos de 2010 a 2020. Todavia, há necessidade de continuar aumentando o número de enfermeiros e melhorar a acessibilidade a cuidados de enfermagem.

Abstract: This research aims to analyze the configuration, distribution, and equity of nursing human resources in Sichuan Province, China, providing a reference for the future development of nursing care in the region. A descriptive analysis was conducted to describe the configuration of nursing human resources in 2010, 2015, and 2020. The Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient, health resource density index, and distribution density maps were used as resources and methodology to evaluate the changes and equity in the configuration of nursing human resources. The result of this research determined that the nurse-to-population ratio was 1.17, 2.09, and 3.42 in 2010, 2015, and 2020, and nursing staff accounted for 24%, 49%, and 35% of technical health personnel. The nurse-to-physician ratio was 1:0.72, 1:1.05, and 1:1.22 in the three years. The Gini coefficients of nursing resource allocation for permanent population and area were 0.24, 0.20, and 0.12 and 0.74, 0.72, and 0.72, respectively. The nursing resource density index was 0.50, 0.91, and 1.42, respectively. In conclusion, the study shows that the equity of nursing resources based on population increased, while the equity based on region still showed disparity, with a sustained increase in nursing human resource density from 2010 to 2020. However, it is necessary to continue increasing the number of nurses and improving the geographical accessibility of nursing care.

Sin embargo, es necesario seguir aumentando el número de enfermeras y mejorando la accesibilidad geográfica de la atención de enfermería.

Abstract Objective Child sexual violence is a multidimensional problem of many contemporary societies, affecting people of all sexes, social stratum and age groups. Offenses involving children and adolescents are more serious, given their total or partial dependence on parents and caregivers. Information on child sexual violence in Brazil is found in raw form and without detail. The objective was to compare the information with social and economic data in the state of Paraná. Methods The authors conducted a retrospective study of secondary data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) on cases of sexual violence involving victims aged 0 to 19 years. Results are presented according to notification characteristics. The authors applied exploratory spatial data analysis to assess spatial autocorrelations and investigated relationships by the ordinary least squares regression model. Results Between 2017 and 2021, there were 13,403 reports of child sexual violence in Paraná State, Brazil. Most victims (82.8%) were female and aged between 10 and 14 years. The majority of sexual violence cases (67.8%) occurred in the home environment. The highest rates on a population basis were observed in the North Central and Greater Curitiba regions, mainly in cities with higher population density and with higher rates of other types of violence. Conclusion The results provide data that can promote a broader understanding of the distribution of sexual violence and the state and associated variations. It is expected to improve the provision of care for victims of child sexual violence and assist in strategic planning to prevent future offenses. societies sexes groups serious caregivers detail SINAN (SINAN 1 years characteristics model 201 2021 13403 13 403 13,40 State 82.8% 828 82 8 (82.8% 67.8% 678 67 (67.8% environment regions variations offenses 20 202 1340 40 13,4 82.8 (82.8 67.8 6 (67.8 2 134 4 13, 82.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Vascular endothelial growth factor is known to induce endothelial cell migration and proliferation, increase vascular permeability, and modulate thrombogenicity. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the VEGF insertion/deletion (I/D) variant (rs35569394) and coronary artery disease susceptibility in the Turkish population. METHODS: A total of 206 subjects, including 106 coronary artery disease patients and 100 controls, were included in this study. The VEGF I/D variant was genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction method. RESULTS: The frequency of the I/I, I/D, and D/D genotypes was 35.84 versus 37%, 33.97 versus 36%, and 30.19 versus 27% in patients and the control group, respectively. VEGF I/D genotype and allele distribution were not statistically significant between coronary artery disease patients and controls (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between VEGF I/D genotype distribution and patient characteristics including age, gender, disease duration, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, and smoking (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the VEGF I/D variant is not a predisposing factor to coronary artery disease disease in a Turkish sample.

Resumen: El propósito de este artículo consiste en ofrecer evidencia empírica sobre las características de la dinámica demográfica y de la expansión física del desarrollo urbano en México entre 1990 y 2020, con el fin de identificar patrones de forma urbana y de contribuir al debate sobre la configuración compacta o dispersa del crecimiento. La pregunta general es si la urbanización contemporánea en México ha sido compacta o dispersa. Para lograr dicho propósito y contestar el cuestionamiento, se utiliza información estadística y cartográfica de los censos de población y vivienda. La conclusión general es que en México coexisten ciudades compactas y ciudades dispersas. En el marco de un descenso en la dinámica demográfica del país, la participación de la población que reside en asentamientos discontinuos se incrementó de manera discreta, indicador de la urbanización dispersa, además de que la densidad de población aumentó marginalmente, indicador de la urbanización compacta. Estos resultados matizan el patrón concentrado o disperso de la urbanización en México. La organización intraurbana e intrametropolitana de la población ha estado estrechamente relacionada con las modalidades del mercado urbano de vivienda y ha tenido efecto en el funcionamiento de los mercados urbanos de trabajo y de transporte.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to offer empirical evidence on the characteristics of demographic dynamics and physical expansion of urban development in Mexico between 1990 and 2020, in order to identify patterns of urban form and to contribute to the debate on the compact urban growth or sprawl. The general question is whether contemporary urbanization in Mexico has been compact or dispersed. To achieve this purpose and to answer the question, statistical and cartographic information from population and housing censuses are used. The general conclusion is that cities with compact or sprawl pattern coexist in Mexico. In the context of a decline in the country’s demographic dynamics, the share of the population residing in discontinuous settlements increased discreetly, an indicator of sprawl, and population density increased marginally, an indicator of compact urbanization. These results confirm the concentrated or sprawl pattern of urbanization in Mexico, where the intra-urban and intra-metropolitan organization of the population has been closely linked to the patterns of the urban housing market and has had an effect on the performance of urban labour and transport markets.
