Sensibilidades e representações urbanas na transferência da capital de Minas Gerais
This study analyzes the urban representations generated as a consequence of the rupture experienced at the time of the transfer of the capital of Minas Gerais, in the last decade of the 19th century. The construction of a modern city, Belo Horizonte, as the new Capital of Minas Gerais, managed to encapsulate the newly-installed brand of Republican power in Brazil, replacing the old Ouro Preto, seat of Government and indisputable symbol of colonial domain and the administration of the recently-deposed monarchy. The contemporaneous urban images evident in political discourse, in chronicles, newspapers, sundry records and even literary writings are expressive of a new urban sensibility emerging from the process of the Capital's transference. Apparent are feelings and perceptions that oscillate between nostalgia, enchantment and fear caused by the simultaneous actions of the abandonment of one capital city and the invention of another. Many of these images have been incorporated into the urban imagination and still contribute today to the formulations of the identity of both cities - Ouro Preto and Belo Horizonte.
Monumentalizando “ruínas precoces”: o Museu Histórico de Belo Horizonte e a imaginação museal de Juscelino Kubitschek
RESUMO Este artigo analisa como o Museu Histórico de Belo Horizonte consistiu em uma das primeiras manifestações da imaginação museal de Juscelino Kubitschek (1902-1976) e as singularidades desse projeto no contexto museológico brasileiro. Embora existam diversos estudos sobre a trajetória do ex-presidente do Brasil, o seu pensamento sobre museus e patrimônios ainda carece de análises aprofundadas. Desse modo, por meio de análise documental e revisão bibliográfica foram reconstruídos momentos decisivos da concepção do museu, inaugurado em 1943, as estratégias de fabricação de legados e algumas articulações do então prefeito da capital mineira em prol de consolidar seu pensamento museológico, a exemplo da relação com o jornalista Abílio Barreto, organizador da Seção de História do Arquivo Municipal de Belo Horizonte, e com o advogado Rodrigo Melo Franco de Andrade, diretor do Serviço do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional. Conclui-se que a criação do Museu Histórico de Belo Horizonte traduz a configuração de uma imaginação museal singular. Nesse aspecto, apesar de não romper com os discursos da maioria dos museus brasileiros de sua época, traduz uma opção pela inserção da história recente que reconhece o museu como um dos espaços na disputa por projetos de futuro.
Public health in eight European countries: an international comparison of terminology.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this paper was to assess the use of different terms pertaining to public health in selected Member States of the European Union.


STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS
Qualitative research methods were used to compare the terminology among eight Member States. Seven to nine core terms were defined for each country, and a search was performed for these terms in the names of institutions and professional titles, organized into three comparable categories.


RESULTS
The data analysis showed considerable diversity in terminology. The three most commonly used terms for each country, and the frequency distribution of the core terms for all eight countries were determined.


CONCLUSION
Public health terminology and underlying concepts vary among Member States of the European Union. A large number of loosely related terms are in use, indicating the lack of a common conceptual framework for the discipline of public health. The most commonly used terms pertaining to public health are 'health sciences' and 'health promotion'. 'Public health' is not among the most commonly used terms.
