Resumo No Brasil, o Estado sempre criou condições favoráveis para garantir a participação do setor privado nas transformações do espaço urbano, em especial em obras de infraestrutura de transporte e logística. Neste texto, buscamos discutir as disputas pela terra pública e, também, pelo modelo de gestão portuária, no contexto da expansão econômica nas primeiras décadas do século XXI. Ao delimitarmos o porto de Santos como nosso recorte territorial de análise, buscamos precisar os elementos, atores, agentes e conflitos de interesses presentes nessa disputa, bem como a forma pela qual eles se articulam em diferentes escalas. A abordagem transescalar aqui adotada como estratégica metodológica ancorou-se em relações de contínuas aproximações entre fundamentação teórica e imersão empírica. Nesse debate, a função social da terra pública, com oscilações ao seu papel ambiental e econômico, ganha centralidade.

Abstract In Brazil, the State has always created good conditions to guarantee the private sector’s participation in the transformations of the urban space, especially in transport and logistics infrastructure works. In this article, we seek to discuss the disputes over public land and, also, over the port management model, in the context of the economic expansion at the beginning of the 21st century. By delimiting the Port of Santos as our territory of analysis, we aim to investigate the elements, players, agents and conflicts of interest present in the dispute, and how they articulate in different scales. The trans-scale approach adopted here as a methodological strategy was grounded on relations of continuous approximations between theoretical framework and empirical immersion. In this debate, the social function of public land, with oscillations in its environmental and economic role, gains centrality.

SUMMARY Most papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) harbor excellent prognosis. Although rare, distant metastases normally occur in lungs and/or bones. Here we describe a rare case of pancreatic metastasis presenting with rapid onset cholestatic syndrome. A literature review was also performed. A 73-year-old man with a high risk PTC was submitted to total thyroidectomy (TT) followed by radioiodine therapy. After initial therapy, he persisted with progressive rising serum thyroglobulin levels but with no evidence of structural disease. Recently, the patient presented with a rapid onset and progressive cholestatic syndrome. A 4 cm lesion in pancreas was identified, with echoendoscopy fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) confirming a pancreatic metastasis from PTC. The patient was submitted to a successful pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pancreatic metastases of PTC are rare and few long-term follow-up data are available to guide management. Fourteen cases were former reported, mean age was 65.7 years-old with mean time between PTC and pancreatic metastasis diagnosis of 7.9 years. Nine of them had another distant metastasis, nine were diagnosed by FNAB and just two received sorafenib.

Lançado em 2009, o Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV), atual política habitacional do Governo Federal, vem desencadeando impactos territoriais significativos nas cidades brasileiras. Embora o programa tenha alçado o tema da habitação a uma posição de destaque na agenda do Governo Federal, incluindo grandes subsídios, o padrão de inserção urbana de seus empreendimentos reafirma a predominância de um modelo de urbanização excludente e precário na maior parte das cidades do país, especialmente nas principais regiões metropolitanas. É o que o artigo procura demonstrar, a partir de uma análise dos padrões de inserção urbana dos empreendimentos produzidos no âmbito do PMCMV, entre 2009 e 2012, nas regiões metropolitanas de São Paulo e Campinas.

Launched in 2009, the Program Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV – My House My Life), the current housing policy of the Federal Government, has promoted significant territorial impacts on Brazilian cities. Although the program has increased the importance of the housing issue within the Federal Government’s agenda, including large amounts of subsidies, the urban integration pattern of its enterprises reaffirms the predominance of an exclusionary and precarious urbanization model in most cities of the country, especially in the main metropolitan areas. This is what this article aims to demonstrate, based on an analysis of the urban integration patterns of the enterprises produced under the PMCMV between 2009 and 2012 in the metropolitan regions of São Paulo and Campinas.
