INNOVATION IN VETERINARY MEDICINE: INTEGRATION, PREVENTION AND ANIMAL WELFARE



Innovation in veterinary medicine is paving the way for a new model of care, in which different services can be integrated into a single complex, providing greater convenience, safety, and quality for animals, their owners, and veterinary professionals.

According to Dr. Márcio Jacob, this concept becomes even more relevant with the creation of IVAA – Institute for Animal Valuation and Assistance, designed to bring together veterinary clinics, animal shelters and responsible adoption spaces, pet shops, and specialized services, creating an integrated network focused on animal care, prevention, and protection.

This model brings qualified professionals and different areas of expertise closer together, promoting prevention, diagnosis, treatment, vaccination, proper nutrition, hygiene, and overall animal welfare. At the same time, it creates opportunities to provide shelter and assistance to abandoned animals and pets belonging to families who cannot afford veterinary treatment.

More than a commercial facility, IVAA proposes an ecosystem of animal health, social responsibility, and protection, bringing together professionals, companies, institutions, and the community around a common goal: promoting quality of life, prevention, and responsible pet ownership.

IVAA: Integrating professionals, preventing disease, caring for animals, and transforming lives.

FROM SOCIAL ACTION TO POLITICS: MÍRIAM RIBAS PUTS THE STRENGTH OF WOMEN IN DIADEMA AT THE CENTER OF THE STATEWIDE DEBATE



A trajectory spanning more than four decades in Diadema, more than 30 years dedicated to the nonprofit sector, and a candidacy that symbolizes the strengthening of women’s participation in politics.

The Social Democratic Party (PSD) of Diadema is experiencing a defining moment in the 2026 Elections by presenting Míriam Ribas as a candidate for State Representative, making her candidacy an important symbol of women’s growing presence in political decision-making spaces.

A resident of Diadema for more than 48 years, Míriam has built a career deeply connected to the community. For more than three decades, she has dedicated herself to the nonprofit sector, social projects, and supporting families, particularly women, senior citizens, and people living in vulnerable circumstances.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Law, founder of the Míriam Ribas Institute, and a high-performance legal correspondent, she brings together legal expertise, social engagement, and an in-depth understanding of the realities faced by local communities.

Born in Inúbia Paulista, in the interior of São Paulo State, Míriam chose Diadema as her city and built her personal and professional life there. She is the mother of four children and grandmother of four grandchildren.

Her work encompasses initiatives in healthcare, income generation, social development, and the strengthening of public policies, always guided by a defining characteristic of her career: listening to people and turning their needs into concrete initiatives.

As head of the PSD Women’s Coordination in Diadema, Míriam also works to encourage women’s political participation and develop new female leaders, advocating that women must increasingly occupy the spaces where decisions that affect society are made.

A CANDIDACY THAT REPRESENTS MORE THAN AN ELECTION

For Míriam, this candidacy represents not only a personal achievement, but also an opportunity to bring to the state-level political arena the experience of someone who understands firsthand the challenges faced by families.

“I accept this mission with great responsibility and gratitude. This candidacy represents all the women who work, care for their families, lead their communities, and believe that they too can occupy decision-making spaces. This is a historic moment for the PSD of Diadema and for all of us.”

MÍRIAM RIBAS: DIADEMA’S VOICE THAT BREAKS BARRIERS AND ENTERS THE STATEWIDE POLITICAL RACE

The candidacy brings into focus a journey built away from the spotlight and close to the people. A woman who has experienced Diadema’s transformations, followed the needs of its communities, and is now stepping forward to embrace a new challenge.

More than a candidacy, Míriam Ribas carries with her a story of work, family, law, social action, and community commitment — along with a proposal to amplify Diadema’s voice in the debate over the future of the State of São Paulo.

From Inúbia Paulista to Diadema. From the nonprofit sector to politics. From a life dedicated to the community to a new mission: to represent.

“TARSILA — THE BRAZILIAN”: A Historic Celebration of Brazilian Art


“TARSILA — THE BRAZILIAN” returns to Vivo Rio from September 10 to 13, following its tremendous success with audiences.

Produced by Cláudia Raia and Jarbas Homem de Melo, the production brings to the stage the life and legacy of one of Brazil’s greatest artists of all time: Tarsila do Amaral—a woman ahead of her time, a symbol of modernity and creativity, and a key figure in the creation of a truly Brazilian identity in the history of art.

For Cláudia Raia, portraying Tarsila is much more than taking on a character. It is both an honor and a responsibility to represent a woman who transformed the way Brazil saw itself and how the world came to recognize Brazilian art. Cláudia brings to the role her strength, stage presence, sensitivity, and extraordinary talent, going beyond mere interpretation to create a Tarsila who is vibrant, human, and profoundly Brazilian.

Alongside her, Jarbas Homem de Melo once again demonstrates his extraordinary artistic ability, contributing to a production that brings together acting, music, dance, dramaturgy, and a sophisticated theatrical language. The partnership between Cláudia and Jarbas is one of the show’s greatest highlights, revealing chemistry, technical mastery, and a shared passion for the arts.

Tarsila do Amaral represents a fundamental chapter in Brazil’s cultural history. Her work helped establish a modern Brazilian aesthetic, characterized by the appreciation of our landscapes, people, colors, symbols, and roots. Her importance, however, was not limited to Brazil: Tarsila also achieved international recognition and engaged in dialogue with important artistic movements and artists of her time.

For this reason, “TARSILA — THE BRAZILIAN” deserves to transcend national borders. It is a production with the strength, quality, and cultural significance to be presented abroad, bringing to international stages the story of a woman who helped place Brazilian art on the world map.

The success of the production demonstrates that Tarsila’s story remains alive and continues to move new generations. And having Cláudia Raia and Jarbas Homem de Melo at the helm of this production offers a special opportunity to celebrate not only a great Brazilian artist, but also the talent of two of the most important names in Brazilian musical theatre.

From September 10 to 13, at Vivo Rio, Tarsila is back.

A tribute to art. To culture. To Brazilian women.

And to an artist who, like Brazil itself, never stopped reinventing herself.

“TARSILA — THE BRAZILIAN”: a historic production that deserves to be seen, celebrated, and brought to the world.
