Este estudo analisa a relação entre as frequências de Ressonância Schumann (RS) e as taxas de mortalidade por infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) no Sul (S) e Nordeste (NE) do Brasil, utilizando dados geomagnéticos coletados entre 1996 a 2022 das estações de São Luís (SLZ) e São Martinho da Serra (SMS). A Transformada Discreta de Fourier (DFT) foi apl...
In recent years, multidisciplinary studies have sought to understand the interaction between environmental factors that modulate people’s risks and susceptibilities to climate change. This study aimed to assess the socio-environmental and health vulnerability of the population in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, to climate change through th...
The 2030 Agenda framework represents an opportunity for the co-development of local indicators and shares the same principles of cross-sectoral integration and universality as the water–energy–food nexus. This research aimed to develop a quantitative-collaborative methodology for constructing indicators and indexes for the sustainability of the Cer...
Esta nota técnica elaborada por dois dos grupos de pesquisa da Divisão de Impactos, Adaptação e Vulnerabilidades (DIIAV) do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) - o Laboratório de Análise e Desenvolvimento de Indicadores para Sustentabilidade (LADIS) e o Laboratório de Modelagem e Estudos de Recursos Renováveis de Energia (LABREN) - vis...
Chapter 12 assesses climate change impacts and risks, vulnerability as well as barriers and options for adaptation and climate resilient development in Central and South America.
Health determinants might play an important role in shaping the impacts related to long-term disasters such as droughts. Understanding their distribution in populated dry regions may help to map vulnerabilities and set coping strategies for current and future threats to human health. The aim of the study was to identify the most vulnerable municipa...
The first case of COVID-19 in BrazilBrazil occurred in February 2020, affecting mainly the country's large urban centers. The initial strategy to suppress the transmissionTransmission of the virus was based on social isolationSocial isolation and the suspension of economic activities to flatten the incidence curve and allow health services to prepa...
Aiming to optimize and adjust leishmaniasis prevention and control measures for the resident population of Pains, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, a structured questionnaire containing conceptual questions and questions about household characteristics was used to evaluate knowledge level and exposure risk. A total of 396 individuals were interviewed...

RESUMO As projeções climáticas para o final do século XXI sugerem a intensificação de eventos extremos que podem causar danos diretos e indiretos à saúde pública e impactar, em diferentes proporções, as populações vulneráveis. Nesse âmbito, destaca-se a vigilância em saúde por suas relevantes ações em todas as etapas de gestão de risco dos desastre...
Disasters have economic and human impacts that can become more intense with climate change. In Brazil, disasters have increased, both in number and in cost, in recent decades. This situation is favored, in part, by urbanization, continued vulnerable social conditions, and the prioritization of crisis management at the expense of risk management. Th...
In South America in the past decades several infectious diseases have emerged or re-emerged either as part of larger pandemics or as local processes involving autochthonous pathogens. These included arthropod-borne viral diseases, such as Dengue Fever, Chikungunya and Zika as well as viral hemorrhagic fevers, such as Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome,...
Human vulnerability represents an open field of study that allows us, through the use of indicators, to measure a territory's weakness and potential for dealing with negative climate impacts. This kind of assessment is important within the scope of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially as a tool that is able to direct the strategies and...
Resumo A mudança do clima representa séria ameaça para a população humana, causando impactos em diferentes setores. Conhecer os fatores que elevam a vulnerabilidade do ser humano à mudança do clima permite identificar pontos críticos e direcionar ações imediatas para reduzi-la. Assim, este estudo desenvolveu e aplicou um índice de vulnerabilidade à...
Vulnerability, understood as the propensity to be adversely affected, has attained importance in the context of climate change by helping to understand what makes populations and territories predisposed to its impacts. Conditions of vulnerability may vary depending on the characteristics of each territory studied—social, environmental, infrastructu...

For this reason, this study aime...
Infectious diseases form a group of health problems highly susceptible to the influences of climate. Adaptation to protect human population health from the changes in infectious disease epidemiology expected to occur as a consequence of climate change involve actions in the health systems as well as in other non-health sectors. In the health sector...
Some epidemiological aspects of leishmaniasis in the municipality of Formiga, Brazil, an important touristic site, were evaluated. Those included phlebotomine sand fly vectors, canine infection, and geoprocessing analysis for determining critical transmission areas. Sand flies (224 insects) belonging to ten different species were captured. The most...
