This dissertation evaluates the process of urban revitalization of Santos City Center in course since the late 1980's. It is divided in five chapters. The first analyses the changes in the theory of central area public intervention from Modern to Contemporary periods and defines Santos Historical Center as the case study. The following chapter investigates the growth and the apogee of this area with the port expansion and the resulting wealth with coffee commerce. The third chapter deals with the City Center decay with the evasion of high-income strata and the resulting housing precariousness. The fourth chapter analyzes the law, the interventions and the projects referring to the area, over the period of two PT offices (1989-1992; 1993-1996). The fifth chapter continues these analyses during the old PPB offices (1997-2000; 2001-2004) with an opposite political view. Finally, the conclusion evaluates the process of growth and decline of Santos City Center and the changes in relation to urban planning policies for this area in the present context.

O artigo aborda, a partir do conceito de gentrificação de Neil Smith, o processo de enobrecimento do território santista e de revitalização do Centro Histórico que vem ocorrendo no município desde meados da década de 1990. A partir da análise de quatro administrações municipais – 1997-2000; 2001-2004 do PPB e 2005-2008; 2009-2012 do PMDB – e suas respectivas políticas de planejamento urbano, é interpretado como visões pró-mercado, referente à temática urbana, têm influenciado na elitização do município e na gentrificação da área central, somado-se à falta de uma política de inclusão social dos moradores de cortiços e habitações precárias.

Introduction:Since 2011, the process of incorporation of technologies into the Brazilian public health system (SUS) has been assisted by the National Commission for the Incorporation of Technologies in SUS (Conitec). The present work collected data of effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness, budget impact and other criteria from Conitec's reports to determine the influence of economic evaluations on issued recommendations.Methods:Data was collected from drug recommendation reports published by Conitec between 2012 and 2016 and organized in a Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet. The association of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and the chance of incorporation was assessed through a binary logistic regression in R®.Results:Two hundred and sixty-six reports were issued by Conitec between 2012 and 2016. Data were collected from 169 reports evaluating requisitions of incorporation of new medicines. Of these, there were ninety-nine which recommended the incorporation. The most common ATC classes analyzed were immunosuppressants (34 drugs), other antineoplastic agents (16 drugs) and direct-acting antivirals (15 drugs). Of the seventy negative recommendations, thirty-five were due to cost-effectiveness, thirty-one due to efficacy, twenty-nine due to safety, forty due to the budget impact, and thirty-two due to other reasons. In general, the reports were considered to be of poor quality. Only 21.9 percent of the reports had ICERs. The binary logistic regression analysis did not present a statistically significant difference for the influence of the ICER on the recommendation decision with outcomes reported in life years gained (OR = 0.9999732; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 0.9999304 to 1.000016) or quality-adjusted life years (OR = 0.9999789; 95% CI = 0.9999321 to 1.000026).Conclusions:Economic evaluations appear to be a secondary criterion for Conitec's recommendations. Despite this, they are commonly used to justify non-incorporation of drugs into the public system.

Resumo: O artigo investiga a relação entre parte da obra teórica e da trajetória profissional do sociólogo Octavio Ianni, sobretudo na década de 1970, em especial a radicalização de suas interpretações após o golpe de 1964, o endurecimento da Ditadura em 1968 e a cassação do seu direito de lecionar em 1969. Por meio principalmente de entrevistas, buscamos investigar as especificidades de certas divergências no interior do Cebrap, particularmente entre Octavio Ianni, Fernando Henrique Cardoso e José Arthur Giannotti, assim como examinar o porquê dessa circunstância.
