“…Another important aspect may be the cross-border dynamic, due to the economic integration project promoted by Mercosur 33 , which resulted in an improvement in the Gini index. The Twin Cities belonging to the North region, on the other hand, have more precarious living conditions and worse access to health services [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ], with lower quality of prenatal care and less access to tertiary care services [ 33 ].…”

Background: The infant mortality rate (IMR) is a proxy of the living and health conditions of a given population, which allows us to assess the risk of death for children under one year. Although there is, in general, a reduction in infant mortality in Brazil little is known about this indicator in the regions and cities located on the international borders of the Brazilian territory and the changes that occurred in the face of the migratory impact of the Americas in the period from 1996 to 2020. The objectives of this study are to assess IMR in Brazilian Twin Cities (municipalities that are located on the border with a large influx of people) and its social determinants over time. Methods: This is an ecological study, whose units of analysis were the Brazilian Twin Cities, between 1996 and 2020, based on data on births and deaths in children under one year, available in the public vital information system in Brazil. Data were identified by the city in which the infant death occurred in addition to the mother’s primary city of residence. Correlation measurements were performed to test the associations of the IMR means between the independent variables. Results: The Twin Cities (Bonfim, Tabatinga, Pacaraima, Porto Murtinho, Cáceres, Foz do Iguaçu, Santo Antônio do Sudoeste e Dionísio Cerqueira) had higher numbers of infant deaths per place of occurrence than the number of deaths per place of maternal residence. The Northern Twin Cities exhibited the highest IMRs. Cities in the Midwest region showed variability. In the South region, most cities showed low rates. A positive correlation was identified with the Gini index with r = 0.67 and a negative correlation with the Municipal Human Development Index indicator of r= −0.70. Conclusions: The averages of IMRs in the Twin Cities were higher than in their States. In recent years, there has been an upward trend in infant mortality in these cities.

“…Public policies for borders and transnational integration are recent; previously, they were restricted to security and occupation of the territory. Only in 2005 did the Ministry of Health (MoH) launch the Integrated Border System (SIS Fronteiras) in order to carry out a local health diagnosis, promote the qualification of the professionals, and improve the health service network in border municipalities, effective from 2005 to 2014 ( 6 ) . However, the execution of SIS Fronteiras did not end in 2014; the activities extended over the following years, as planned by each municipality to meet the established goals.…”

Objective: to build and validate a matrix for normative evaluation of the Integrated Health System of Borders. Method: a methodological study, composed by the construction of an evaluation matrix elaborated in three stages: elaboration of the logical model, containing the triad of structure, process and result; definition of evaluative questions and appearance and content validation of the matrix. Appearance and content validation were performed simultaneously by seven judges. For data collection, an online questionnaire and the Delphi technique were used and, for analysis, the Content Validity Index and Content Validity Ratio. Results: the evaluation matrix containing 24 questions was submitted to two evaluations for its appearance and content validation. In the first, the overall mean Content Validity Index was 99.40% and the Content Validity Ratio was 0.90. In the second, the Content Validity Index was 100% and the Content Validity Ratio, 1.0; there were no new proposals and the matrix was made up of 24 questions. The matrix was considered intelligible in terms of appearance validation. Conclusion: the evaluation matrix of the Integrated Health System of the Borders is validated in terms of appearance and content for analyzing the performance of public actions and policies in border regions.

“…Discussion about border policies is not recent, although for a long time they have been analyzed solely from the perspective of public security, that is, focused on independence and national sovereignty, as noted in Law 6634 of May 1979, which provides for the borderland and national security (Brazil, 1979). According to Krüger et al (2017), the borderland underwent a historical process of marginalization of State development policies, and, only in 2004, it became the target of development public policies. In late 2008, the Commission for Education and Culture approved the creation of the Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana (UNILA), located in the city of Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná.…”

Transformando o território: a importância da universidade de integração latino-americana para a cultura na tríplice fronteira Brasil-Paraguai-Argentina

RESUMO O foco deste trabalho está na reflexão sobre o processo de transformação promovido pela instalação da Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana na cidade de Foz do Iguaçu (PR), evidenciando a transversalidade entre políticas educacionais e culturais e o impacto no desenvolvimento regional. Fronteiras foram objeto de políticas públicas, na maioria das vezes, sob a ótica da segurança e da soberania nacional. Assim, a inexistência de políticas voltadas ao desenvolvimento das cidades que compõem a chamada faixa de fronteira só se alterou recentemente. A universidade, constituída em 2010, já sofre questionamentos quanto à sua existência. O ensaio argumenta a importância das cidades da fronteira para o desenvolvimento econômico, educacional e cultural, promovendo a diversidade e a sustentabilidade. No artigo são explorados os conceitos de território, fronteira e diversidade cultural, focando de modo ilustrativo em experiências do cinema independente realizado na região.
