Different types of high-rise residential buildings have proliferated in different countries at least since the 1940s, for a range of reasons. This paper aims to provide an overview of the current state of evidence on how planning, urban design and architectural aspects of high-rise residential buildings may influence social well-being and mental health. A systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Searches for peer-reviewed papers were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo, Scopus, SciELO, and Web of Science; 4,100 papers were assessed. 23 empirical studies published between 1971 and 2016 were included. The review found that house type, floor level, as well as spaces intrinsic to high-rise residential buildings (e.g. shared stairwells) are associated with social well-being and mental health. However, conceptual gaps and methodological inconsistencies still characterise most of the research in this field. We expect that research about and policy attention to this subject may intensify due to its strategic relevance in the face of global challenges such as increasing urbanization and loneliness. This paper concludes by highlighting a number of recommendations for future research.

In this paper we present the results of the study of 32 projectile points from Hangar site, located in the Salado creek basin (centre of the province of Buenos Aires). Archaeological materials recovered from the site include some isolated human remains, several potsherds, faunal materials, and lithic artefacts. The presence of pottery and small triangular points, together with the radiocarbon dating results, indicate that the main occupations occurred during the end of the Late Holocene. Methodology used included the techno-typological study of the lithic assemblage. Results showed that the outcrops of some rocks present in the sample are found in the Humid Pampas (100-190 km distant from the site) and the Dry Pampas (400-530 km distant from the site). The projectile points show variability in design and size, attributes that have implications for distinguishing different weapon systems (e.g., arrow and dart). In the Pampas region, the Late Holocene is a period characterized by an increasing complexity in hunter-gatherer societies, as it is indicated by long-distance exchange networks and different strategies of intensification and diversification on faunal resources. In accordance with this scenario, we propose that the variability that is observed in the lithic points is a reflex of an increase in the amount of the hunted species in relation with technological innovations such as the introduction of the bow and arrow.

<p>En este artículo se discute el concepto de región pampeana como una unidad espacial y cultural en el análisis arqueológico y se analiza la validez y la operatividad que mantiene actualmente. Esta región fue usada como unidad de análisis en arqueología, pero fue definida con diferentes criterios y grados de resolución. En este trabajo se examinan y discuten estos criterios y su validez en la actualidad, ya que el uso de información tanto ecológica como cultural, provocó ciertas incongruencias en la forma en que se ha hecho operativo el establecimiento y la definición de los límites de la región pampeana. En suma, parece claro que lo que llamamos actualmente región pampeana en la arqueología sudamericana es una unidad espacial que no tiene una correspondencia ecológica ni cultural. Teniendo esto en cuenta, se debe concluir que el uso de la región pampeana como unidad de análisis, tal cual está definida actualmente, se basa en tradiciones de investigación y en cierto consenso contemporáneo más que en características ecológicas o arqueológicas distintivas.</p>

The role of active transport as part of daily routines, for example, has excited considerable interest for its potential for reducing pathologies associated with sedentarism, overweight and obesity, in journals and at international meetings (Lyn and Sallis, 2018). These have stimulated interest and built closer ties between researchers and practitioners. But links between transport and health go far beyond active transport, raising issues of governance, social equity, urban planning procedures and principles in "normal" and crisis conditions, as previous special issues of this journal have documented, particularly

RESUMO A prevalência de ambientes de ensino-aprendizagem de projeto caracterizados por uma rígida estrutura hierárquica tem sido recorrentemente apontada como um problema a ser enfrentado em prol da formação de profissionais críticos e compromissados com o bemestar social. Diante da necessidade de elevar os alunos a coprodutores do conhecimento ao longo do processo de ensino-aprendizagem de projeto, o artigo objetiva investigar como a Análise Crítica Coletiva de Projeto (ACCP), uma modalidade de assessoramento coletivo de projeto que vem sendo aplicada na oficina Problemas de requalificação de áreas e edificações urbanas, é avaliada pelos alunos do curso noturno de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). A análise qualitativa dos dados obtidos através da aplicação de um questionário indica que, segundo a percepção dos discentes, a ACCP, dependendo das habilidades e competências do professor, pode facilitar a criação de um ambiente de ensinoaprendizagem mais horizontal e propício ao desenvolvimento da capacidade de (auto)crítica e autonomia dos alunos. Dentre os outros benefícios associados à técnica, cabe destacar: (i) ampliação do quadro de referência; (ii) promoção da aprendizagem coletiva; (iii) otimização da produção projetual; (iv) promoção da criatividade; e (v) desenvolvimento de habilidades requeridas pelo trabalho em equipe, como a de apresentar, comunicar, ouvir, perguntar e argumentar diante de um grupo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Crítica, Autonomia, Ensino-aprendizagem de projeto.ABSTRACT The prevalence of teaching-learning environments of design characterized by a rigid hierarchical structure has been recurrently cited as a problem to be faced for the sake of training critical professionals committed to social welfare. Bearing in mind the need to raise students to act as co-producers of knowledge, this article aims to investigate how Collective Critical Analysis of Design, a type of group crits that has been applied in workshops which deals with rehabilitation of urban areas and buildings, is evaluated by the students of architecture and urbanism at Federal University of Minas Gerais. The qualitative analysis of the data obtained through the application of a questionnaire indicates that, according to the perceptions of students, the Collective Critical Analysis of Design, depending on the abilities and skills of the teacher, can facilitate the generation of a critiquing setting more horizontal and favourable to the development of the ability to (self) critique and autonomy of the students. Among the other benefits associated with the technique, it is necessary to emphasize: (i) expansion of the reference framework, (ii) promotion of collective learning, (iii) optimization of design process, (iv) promotion of creativity, and (v) development of skills required by teamwork, such as communicating, listening, asking and arguing in front of a group.
