Users’ Perspectives on Primary Care and Public Health Services in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
This study focuses on the Unified Health System (SUS) in five regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of Brazil's most important states, as part of a comprehensive analysis of a research project, which has generated publications in earlier phases. The objective was to assess users' perceptions of SUS in terms of access to and the quality of public health services, including primary care and pharmaceutical services. A cross-sectional s…
The biophilia hypothesis explored
This paper considers the relationship between biophilia and well-being in a sample of users of urban green spaces in the city of Porto (Portugal) as a case study. The biophilia hypothesis is explored through the responses of 131 participants in a survey. Users of urban green spaces valued their provision of quiet and shade, with a high diversity of plant species and tranquillity. The survey also found that being satisfied with urban green spaces …
Covid-19 and Lockdown
In addition to outdoor atmospheric contamination, indoor exposure to pollutants is a prime contributor to the overall human exposure, and may condition the expressiveness and severity of respiratory, cardiovascular, and allergic diseases. This situation has worsened due to COVID-19, as people have spent more time indoors to comply with social isolation and mandatory telework. The primary purpose of this study was to assess and compare indoor air …
Clustering public urban green spaces through ecosystem services potential
Combining an evaluation grid application to assess ecosystem services of urban green spaces and a socioeconomic spatial analysis
The complex interaction of ecological and social systems has shaped the cities through the time. This fosters the need to develop interdisciplinary approaches to urban issues by combining natural and social sciences. Cities, as the predominant mode of social organization, are vulnerable to social and environmental challenges which urban green spaces (UGS) can contribute to solve by the ecosystem services (ES) that can provide. The objective was t…

The basic foundations of capoeira’ learning
Capoeira is a simulated duel supported by the rhythmic of instrumentalists, with traditional musical instruments; evolving a constant synchrony with the other capoeirista. Nowadays, capoeira is passed on by traditional processes, according to the past experience and personal interpretations of the Mestre de capoeira (capoeira master/coach). The purpose of this pilot study was to present a preliminary evaluation of a program for learning the basic…
The basic foundations of Capoeira learning from 5 to 10 years of age
Capoeira differs from the vast majority of other duels by the musical accompaniment, where the rhythm gives the temporal structure to the movement. The practice of Capoeira enables the development of structural elements of human movement, particularly in perception‐action cycles, e.g., music rhythm and specific movements or peripheral vision and attack and defense actions, integrated in cultural and socio‐affective dimensions (Silva & Damiani, 20…
