Wherever you find people : the radical schools of Oscar Niemeyer, Darcy Ribeiro and Leonel Brizola
Wherever You Find People' captures the compelling story of the Integrated Centres of Public Education (CIEP) in the Brazilian city and federal state of Rio de Janeiro. This unique but relatively obscure experimental educational project is a prime example of socially driven public architecture and a testament to ambition and forward thinking. The CIEPs were conceived in 1982 by Rio's State Governor Leonel Brizola (1922-2004), the anthropologist, author and politician Darcy Ribeiro (1922-97), and the eminent architect Oscar Niemeyer (1907-2012). Today a network of 508 CIEPs covers the entire state of Rio wherever you find people, you will find a CIEP. This new book is based on extensive interviews with key protagonists and richly illustrated with original sketches and annotated drawings from the Oscar Niemeyer Foundation archive, alongside visuals by Aberrant Architecture. It also features new essays illustrating how architecture can embrace the constraints and conditions of the modern world and engage creatively with the reality of today's social, political, legislative and economic boundaries. 'Wherever You Find People' contributes to a wider architectural discourse about the links between education, design and school building.

Bioethics in Childbirth Care: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Ensuring women's rights during childbirth care based on humanized and bioethical principles results in better quality of care and patient safety and provides positive childbirth experiences.
We aim to explore the available evidence on the application of bioethical principles in the general context of childbirth care.
Our scoping review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer's Manual. Published and unpublished bibliographic materials will be considered based on the following inclusion criteria: reports of the application of bioethical principles (concept) in assistance to the predelivery, childbirth, and postpartum periods (population) in the hospital context (context). We will search for relevant studies in PubMed and the Virtual Health Library, including MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF, SCiELO, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Two reviewers will perform the screening of titles and abstracts, read the full texts, and extract data from the selected articles. The data will then be organized and expressed into categories based on their content.
The analyzed data will be presented through flowcharts, tables, and descriptive narratives. A paper summarizing the findings from this review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. In addition, a synthesis of the key findings will be disseminated to health services linked to university hospitals in Brazil. They will also be shared with the academic community and policy makers involved in the Childbirth Assistance Network, which will potentially adopt our recommendations in their decision-making process regarding childbirth care practice in Brazil.
The findings from this review will inform, through the translation of knowledge, childbirth support groups, feminist movements, movements in favor of humanization of childbirth, and other childbirth support networks in the country.

Status report - The Public Health and Planning 101 project: strengthening collaborations between the public health and planning professions
The Public Health and Planning 101 project aimed to increase cross-disciplinary knowledge among public health and planning professionals involved in the land use planning process. The multi-disciplinary project team administered an online survey in 2012 to Ontario public health and planning professionals in order to identify learning needs related to the built environment that would inform the development of the education module. The survey asked about built environment work, experience with collaborations, barriers faced working with the other profession, and learning needs. Most survey respondents agreed that both professions should be working together on the built environment, although only half indicated they actually were. The survey findings revealed the need for an education module to help public health and planning professionals collaborate in the land use planning process in Ontario, and to help inform policy related to healthy built environments.

Impairment of Cytotype Regulation of P-Element Activity in Drosophila melanogaster by Mutations in the Su(var)205 Gene
Cytotype regulation of transposable P elements in the germ line of Drosophila melanogaster is associated with maternal transmission of P elements inserted at the left telomere of the X chromosome. This regulation is impaired in long-term stocks heterozygous for mutations in Suppressor of variegation 205 [Su(var)205], a gene implicated in the control of telomere length. Regulation by TP5, a structurally incomplete P element at the X telomere, is more profoundly impaired than regulation by TP6, a different incomplete P element inserted at the same site in a TAS repeat at the X telomere. Genetic analysis with the TP5 element indicates that its regulatory ability is not impaired in flies whose fathers came directly from a stock heterozygous for a Su(var)205 mutation, even when the flies themselves carry this mutation. However, it is impaired in flies whose grandfathers came from such a stock. Furthermore, this impairment occurs even when the Su(var)205 mutation is not present in the flies themselves or in their mothers. The impaired regulatory ability of TP5 persists for at least several generations after TP5 X chromosomes extracted from a long-term mutant Su(var)205 stock are made homozygous in the absence of the Su(var)205 mutation. Impairment of TP5-mediated regulation is therefore not directly dependent on the Su(var)205 mutation. However, it is characteristic of the six mutant Su(var)205 stocks that were tested and may be related to the elongated telomeres that develop in these stocks. Impairment of regulation by TP5 is also seen in a stock derived from Gaiano, a wild-type strain that has elongated telomeres due to a dominant mutation in the Telomere elongation (Tel) gene. Regulation by TP6 is not impaired in the Gaiano genetic background. The regulatory abilities of the TP5 and TP6 elements are therefore not equally susceptible to the effects of elongated telomeres in the mutant Su(var)205 and Gaiano stocks.

Maternal Transmission of P Element Transposase Activity in Drosophila melanogaster Depends on the Last P Intron
Maternal transmission of RNAs or proteins through the egg cytoplasm plays an important role in eukaryotic development. We show that the transposase activity encoded by the P transposable element of Drosophila melanogaster is transmitted through the oocytes of females heterozygous for this element even when these oocytes do not carry the element itself. However, this maternal transmission is abolished when the last of three introns is removed from the P element. These facts imply that maternal transmission of transposase activity involves the RNA transcribed from the P element rather than the polypeptide it encodes, and that to be transmitted maternally, this RNA must possess the last intron. Examination of the intron's sequence reveals that it contains a motif of nine nucleotides that has been implicated in the maternal transmission of developmentally significant RNAs. This same intron limits expression of the P transposase to the germ line of Drosophila. Thus, the last P intron has two important biological functions.

\In the midst of the congregation I will praise you\ (Ps 22:23b): The reinterpretation of the Psalms of the individual in Judaism and Christianity
This dissertation looks at several psalms which exhibit a shift in focus from individual to communal concerns (e.g. Pss 3, 25, 51, 102, 130). Sometimes this change in focus seems to be the result of a textual intervention by a later scribe who was seeking to give an older psalm a new context in light of the community’s experience. Part of this shift may also be rooted in the vow to praise, which the psalmist fulfills among the congregation. This reinterpretation of the psalms of the individual allowed for “I” of the psalms to take on a variety of meanings, from David, the traditional author of many of the psalms, to other biblical characters, to Christ in the New Testament, and ultimately to any liturgical participant. Because many psalms of the individual later become collective in their focus, many times the community itself makes the “I” of the psalms its own (Exod 15; Ps 129). After a close reading of many psalms in Chapter 2, Chapter 3 considers the significance of psalms set within narratives in the Old Testament. Most important here are the prayers of Tobit and Hezekiah (Tobit 3 and 13; Isa 38:9-20). Their prayers are not merely for or about themselves but reflect the concerns of the people to such an extent that their fates are intertwined. The final chapter considers the way psalms functioned in late Second Temple Judaism, particularly at Qumran. Psalms and other prayers inspired by them were important in shaping the self-understanding of the communities that prayed them.

Economic Game Behavior Among the Shuar
Previous cross-cultural research on decisionmaking in economic games by Joseph Henrich and his colleagues (Henrich, Boyd, . . . McElreath 2004; Henrich, Boyd, . . . Henrich 2005) revealed both substantial variation across cultures and substantial deviation from the predictions of traditional economic models. Some of the most “selfish” behavior, as measured by offers in the ultimatum game, was observed in the smallest-scale societies, such as the Machiguenga, Quichua, and Hadza. These societies are characterized by both relatively small social groups and relatively low market integration. However, the same can be said of the Ache and the Achuar, who exhibited
