Abstract This study aimed at examining the prevalence of eggs and larvae of parasites – that may cause diseases to humans and other animals – in the soil of public squares located on the shore of Laranjal beaches, in the Laguna dos Patos, in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Four fieldwork trips – one per season – were taken to collect samples on six squares built on the shore of these beaches. Five samples of soil were collected on every square on every fieldwork trip. The material was processed by Caldwell & Caldwell’s technique. Four squares (66.7%) were positive for helminth eggs and sample positivity was 8.3% (10). Toxocara spp. and Ancylostoma spp. were the main genera found in these places. Even though prevalence was lower than the one observed by other studies which were carried out in the area, helminths with zoonotic potential were found in the soil of the squares. It should be highlighted that measures to control dogs in these areas must be implemented and public policies must be put forth to make pets’ owners and beach goers aware of the need to mitigate environmental contamination.

Soybean [(Glycine max (L.) Merrill] commercial fields, maintained under a no-till system, were sampled during the crop seasons 1990/91 and 1996/97, in Cruz Alta and Júlio de Castilhos, Rio Grande do Sul State, to determine the distribution of eggs, larvae and adults of Sternechus subsignatus Boheman (Coleoptera : Curculionidae). Soybean plants and soil were examined at different time schedules. Eggs and larvae were recorded in main stems, lateral branches and leaf petioles, divided into the upper third, medium and lower third of soybean plants. Eggs (87%), and larvae (79%) were mainly observed in the main stem and in the medium plant sections (87% and 78%, respectively). Larval movement was not observed because larvae remained inside the galls, in the same area where the eggs were laid. Adults were located in different places depending on the sampling time. At night, adults were observed to move to the upper third of the plant and, during the day, down to the lower third of the plant and to the soil. The insects are normally concealed during their pre- and post- embryonic stage throughout most of the day.

ABSTRACT: Rice is the basis of diet for almost half of the world population, and its culture is one of the strategic agroindustrial production chains in the agribusiness environment, in both economic and social levels. Thus, the comparative analysis between the production chains of rice milled in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, and Uruguay was mainly motivated by the interest in knowing the differences in the business environment and public policies that impact the competitiveness of this chain in both study regions. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the economic efficiency, competitiveness, and effects of public policies of the rice production chain of milled rice in RS (Brazil) relative to Uruguay. The data collected in this study are from the 2011-2012 harvests and indicators were calculated by applying the concepts of the policy analysis matrix (PAM). Results showed that the chains in both study regions were competitive under the existing market and policy conditions, revealed comparative advantage, transferred a high load of resources to other sectors of the economy, and satisfactorily remuneration of the domestic production factors. However, the competitiveness and comparative advantage shown in this study were not due to the encouraging intervention policies, as both production systems pay high taxes.

Abstract This is an epidemiological study on violence against rural women, based on data from public safety in small and medium-sized municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul. The objective was to trace and analyze the geoepidemiological profile of these events from perspectives Sociological The idea is maintained that social inequalities limit or even impede the full exercise of citizenship, forming a factor of vulnerability. Violence becomes a health problem because it affects individual and collective health, demanding the formulation of public policies to deal with it. The results indicated increased rates of violence in cities with the worst socioeconomic indexes. It is considered that the implementation of health, employment, education and income policies can help in the fight against discrimination and victimization based on gender asymmetries.

Environmental contamination by parasite forms was studied on a university campus in the municipality of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Soil samples were analyzed using the modified Caldwell & Caldwell technique to identify parasite forms. Nematode eggs were detected in 62% of the samples. Among the parasites detected, eggs of Toxocara spp. and Ancylostomatidae were the most prevalent parasites in the studied area throughout the study period. The results demonstrated that there is significant environmental contamination, thereby representing a risk of zoonotic infection for humans frequenting the study area.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate environmental contamination by helminth eggs with zoonotic potential that were found in dog feces in the vicinity of elementary schools. Seventy-nine samples of dog feces were collected from 28 municipal schools located in five neighborhoods in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. The samples were processed using the Willis-Mollay technique and analyzed using an optical microscope (40X), to identify any parasite eggs present. All neighborhoods were positive and 74.7% of the samples exhibited one or more helminth genera. The agent with the highest prevalence was Ancylostoma spp. (93.2%), followed by Trichuris spp. (18.6%), Toxocara spp. (11.9%) and Toxascaris (1.7%). These data show that there is a need for greater care towards controlling these helminths with zoonotic potential, including responsible pet ownership and daily activities to clean and collect dog feces in the vicinity of schools, because these are places where children play and study.

O regionalismo gaúcho esteve historicamente permeado de singularidades, tendo a construção do tipo característico “centauro dos pampas” predominante em muitos escritos do gênero. Mesmo que a literatura gaúcha goze de multiplicidade de textos, que retomem características específicas dos lugares em que foram construídas, há textos que rumam para a universalidade com poucas referências ao regional. A presente pesquisa bibliográfica de cunho qualitativo visa empreender reflexões acerca da literatura gaúcha, que se desprende do regionalismo característico para aventurar-se pelos terrenos da universalidade. Se para Ítalo Calvino, o clássico é aquele que não terminou de dizer o que tinha para dizer, Anne-Marie Thiesse intitulou o “check-list identitário” uma série de especificidades capazes de garantir a singularidade de determinado grupo social. Neste contexto, ter-se-á a análise da obra Pequenas epifanias, de Caio Fernando Abreu. Os resultados apontam que obras como esta se constituem a exceção à regra sem perder reconhecimento, com seu lugar entre os pares da literatura regional, mesmo que fuja da “pureza inicial” caracterizadora da literatura gaúcha. Palavras-chave: Literatura Regional. Crônica. Crítica Literária. Universal. AbstractThe Rio Grande do Sul regionalism was historically permeated by singularities, with the construction of the characteristic type “centaur of Pampas” prevalent in a lot of writings. Even though the Rio Grande do Sul literature enjoys a multitude of texts that comprise specific features aboutthe places wherethey were built, there are texts that head for the universality with few references to the regional. This bibliographical research of qualitative nature aims at undertaking reflections about the Gaucho literature which breaks loose from characteristic regionalism to venture out towards the universality land. To Italo Calvino, the classic is the one that has not finished saying what he or she had to say, AnneMarie Thiesse entitled the “check-list identity” a series of special features capable of ensuring the uniqueness of a particular social group. In this context, there is the analysis of the book Pequenas epifanias, by Caio Fernando Abreu. The results show that books like this are an exception to the rule without losing recognition, with its place among the pairs of regional literature, even though it deviates from the “original purity” characterizing the Gaúcha literature. Keywords: Regional Literature.
