“…Therefore, a balanced relationship can be built between man and nature, with cities adapted to reduce their respective vulnerabilities. 9 There are structural and non-structural measures that can be taken into account when analyzing possible flood and inundation risk management strategies. Both are characterized as structural measures, the heavy engineering work and structures, which need greater investment, such as flood defenses and water channels, drainage, as well as complementary or alternative measures, for instance wetlands and natural tampons.…”

The change in precipitation patterns that has occurred over the past decades establishes the discussion about the risks arising from rainfall in urban areas. These risks include floods, inundations and overflow, which are influenced by different conditions. The purpose of this work is to characterize a risk area, susceptible to inundations and floods, in the city of Passo Fundo, in the south of Brazil. In order to propose solutions aimed at mitigating risks for the area, a GIS (Geographic Information System) characterization was applied to prepare thematic maps to identify conditions of infrastructure networks, as well as other constraints of the built environment. The analysis showed that the area, predominantly residential, is currently susceptible to environmental risks, given the proximity to streams, the topography with slopes and impermeable surfaces, despite the existence of rain network infrastructure. Furthermore, the mitigation strategies were proposed, based on the concept of green infrastructure such as the implementation of draining surfaces, rain gardens and a linear park. The data collected in this study will provide subsidies to elaborate the risk maps of the area, deepening the analysis in future studies, assisting the decision making of the public power to prevent and mitigate risks such as floods, according to the identified vulnerability, as well as contribute to Goal 11 - Sustainable cities and communities on the United Nations Agenda 2030.

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide that affects developing countries and young women in particular. Out of many types of female cancers, cancer of the cervix could be prevented if appropriate medical interventions are taken on time. Pap smear is a means for early detection of premalignant stages and treatment before the disease advances to a late stage. However, its practice remains unsatisfactory in many countries including Eritrea. Objective: The aim of the study was to illustrate knowledge, attitude and level of cervical cancer and Pap smear practice and associated factors among female students of Orotta College of Medicine and Health sciences (OCMHS). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among female undergraduate students in OCMHS enrolled during the academic year 2018-2019. A total of 252 students participated in the study. Piloted, structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to assess the distribution and to identify associations between independent and outcome variables respectively. Results: Majority of the students, 171 (68.4%), were 18-21 years old and 159 (63.6%) were second and third year students. One hundred thirty six (54.4%) students had inadequate knowledge and one hundred twenty three (49.2%) had negative attitude towards cervical cancer screening. Only two (0.8%) participants had ever been screened with Pap smear test. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, level of education and year of study were significantly associated with knowledge of cervical cancer and its screening methods. Year of study and knowledge levels were significantly associated with attitude towards cervical cancer screening (Pap smear). Conclusions: The study showed that there is a lack of knowledge of cervical cancer, unfavorable attitude towards screening methods and poor utilization of Pap smear. The study emphasized the importance of creating awareness and increasing knowledge of cervical cancer and Pap smear through numerous health education campaigns and mass media. Hence, it will be vital to integrate cervical cancer preventive measures with other reproductive health care services at all, if not at the highest, levels of health care delivery system.

O planejamento urbano é um processo técnico instrumental que visa melhorar a qualidade de vida nas cidades de acordo com objetivos estabelecidos em políticas públicas, que adquire sentido jurídico quando consubstancializado em planos urbanísticos. Esse processo exige uma compreensão sistêmica dos fenômenos climáticos urbanos, de modo que o objetivo do estudo é investigar a funcionalidade da metodologia Urban Climate Map (UCMap) como instrumento de planejamento urbano-ambiental. Na pesquisa foi utilizada a metodologia de estudos descritivos acerca da técnica UCMap, assim como realizou-se levantamento bibliográfico especializado nas áreas de planejamento urbanístico e climatologia urbana. Constatou-se que o uso de Mapas Climáticos Urbanos, mediante o emprego de mapas socioambientais, proporciona a integração de aspectos socioculturais, naturais e artificiais do meio ambiente urbano no processo de planejamento urbano-ambiental, instrumento técnico-jurídico compulsório, levando em consideração os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) propostos na Agenda 2030. Espera-se que o estudo demonstre a importância do uso de metodologias integrativas no planejamento urbanístico para alcançar a sustentabilidade e a resiliência de ecossistemas urbanos adaptadas às mudanças climáticas globais e aos eventos climáticos extremos.
