Abstract Objective : To analyze the risk of hospitalization of elderly rural workers in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Method : A cross-sectional, population-based study was carried out of retired rural workers (N=604), over 60 years of age, of both genders, selected by clusters. In order to evaluate the risk of hospitalization, the Probability of Repeated Hospitalization (or PIR) instrument validated and evaluated for Brazil was used. Risk of hospitalization was calculated through logistic regression analysis, and was classified into the following strata: low (<0.300); medium (0.300-0.399); medium-high (0.400-0.499) and high (≥0.500). Results : The rural elderly persons surveyed had a low risk of hospitalization (n=553; 91.6%). There was a predominance of men among the medium to high risk categories (n=42; 82.3%), distributed mainly in the Santa Maria, Sul and Camaquã regions. Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest a low risk of hospitalization among this population, however, there is a need for improved, more profound and robust research into the identification of factors associated with the health specificities of this population.

Abstract Object: to examine the characteristics to the last fall of Brazilian elderly persons who experienced falls in 2008 and 2009, and to identify if there is a relationship with sociodemographic characteristics, physical health, comorbidities, clinical conditions and the circumstances of the falls. Methods: a cross-sectional, population based study was carried out with participants aged 65 and older from Barueri in the state of São Paulo and Cuiabá in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Households were enrolled within each census region according to population density and the number of elderly persons living in each region. A multidimensional questionnaire composed of sociodemographic factors and data regarding falls was used. Associations were analyzed using contingency tables, and Fisher's Exact or Pearson's Chi-square test was used. Results: 774 elderly people were included in the study, 299 of whom reported falling in the previous year. Of these, 176 (58.9%) had fallen once and 123 (41.1%) reported having fallen twice or more. Among fallers the mean age was 72.53 (±6.12) years and 214 (71.6%) were female. About 107 (35.8%) of the elderly reported having fallen forwards, 79 (26.4%) fell to the side and 42(14%) fell backwards. Regarding the circumstances of the falls, 107 (35.8%) reported having lost their balance, 79 (26.4%) said they had stumbled and 42 (14%) said they had slipped. There was an association between the mechanism and circumstances of the falls and having fallen once or twice or more. There was an association between the circumstances of falls and the number of medications taken. Conclusion: The characteristics of falls were different among elderly persons who had fallen once or twice or more, which may guide health professionals, the elderly and their families in relation to specific fall prevention strategies.

A alternativa encontrada foi o cultivo de soja nestas áreas. Porém, estas áreas apresentam restrições físicas do solo, como por exemplo a má drenagem, que acarreta na elevação do nível freático próximo a superfície. Neste sentido, foi realizado um estudo com objetivo de avaliar a utilização de técnicas de drenagem, para viabilizar o cultivo de soja, através do rebaixamento do nível freático. Estas técnicas de drenagem são compostas pelos camalhões de base larga de 22,5; 15 e 7,5 m e a drenagem superficial. Como parâmetros de avaliação da eficiência no rebaixamento do nível freático foram utilizados os índices SEW30 SCmod e IDS, e também a produtividade e os componentes de produção da soja. Os resultados, demonstraram a eficiência do camalhão de base larga no rebaixamento do nível freático em comparação a drenagem superficial.  Assim recomenda-se a utilização de camalhões de base larga de 7,5 e 15 m para o cultivo de soja em terras baixas.   Palavras chave; drenagem, SEW30, nível freático, várzea.   ROSSO R.

USE OF BROAD BED FURROW FOR FEASIBILITY OF SOYBEAN CULTIVATION IN LOWLANDS     2 ABSTRACT   The state of Rio Grande do Sul has extensive lowland areas predominantly occupied by rice cultivation, which in recent years has been experiencing serious problems. The alternative found was to implement soybean cultivation in these areas. However, they present physical soil restrictions, such as poor drainage, which leads to elevation of the water table near the surface. In this sense, a study was carried out with the objective of evaluating the use of drainage techniques to enable soybean cultivation by lowering the water table. The drainage techniques were composed of a broad bed ridge of 22.5, 15 and 7.5 meters and surface drainage. SEW30, SCmod and IDS indices, as well the productivity and components of soybean production, were used as parameters for the evaluation of efficiency in lowering the water table. Among the broad bed ridges, 7.5 m wide and 15 m wide base were the most successful in the two harvests. Thus, the use of 7.5 and 15 m wide broad bed for cultivation of soybeans in lowlands is recommended.   Keywords: drainage, SEW30, water table, lowland.

A few fossil reptilian bones discovered by Dr. Jango Fischer in 1902 at Santa Maria da Bocca do Monte (Serrito) in the Rio Grande do Sul, which have been submitted to me by Dr. H. von Ihering (San Paulo Museum), are of much interest. They not only appear to determine the geological age of the formation from which they were obtained, but also foreshadow the discovery of an early Mesozoic South American land fauna, which has long been expected.

A Triassic taphoflora identified in the Central Region of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, represents an important biostratigraphic stage in the paleofloristic succession of the Paraná Basin. This megafloristic association is composed of compressed leaves, fronds and seeds of a “Dicroidium Flora” and shows a predominance of the Dicroidium genus, with several species, and other important taxa like Neocalamites sp, Cladophlebis sp, Tetraptilon aff, heteromerum, Ginkgoites Antarctica, Sphenobaiera sp, Podozamites sp, Nilssonia sp, Pteruchus sp and Carpolithus sp. Taking into account the stratigraphical distribution of different species of the Dicroidium genus, a biostratigraphic framework was established. The biostratigraphical position of this Triassic flora was established by comparison with Triassic floras from Argentina, South Africa and Australasia. Considering that the recognition of this Dicroidium Flora was based on limited outcrops belonging to one lithostratiphic level (Santa Maria Formation – Passo das Tropas Facies), it was impossible to establish a formal biostratigraphic zonation. Instead, at present time, an informal floristic interval, named “Dicroidium odontopteroides Flora” is proposed (Late Anisian to Late Ladinian, Middle Triassic).

ABSTRACT This study sought to evaluate the occurrence of lesions suggestive of hydatidosis, cysticercosis, and tuberculosis in animals slaughtered under sanitary inspection of the Divisão de Inspeção de Produtos de Origem Animal (DIPOA), in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Condemnation data between the years 2009 and 2017 were obtained from Secretaria da Agricultura Pecuária e Irrigação (SEAPI) and presented according to the administrative regions established by SEAPI. In that period, 7,509,544 cattle were slaughtered and condemnations occurred in all regions of the state at varying levels. The mean condemnation values showed the presence of hydatidosis in 523,399 (6.97%), cysticercosis in 92,277 (1.23%), and tuberculosis in 10,595 (0.14%) cattle carcasses. The mean values of hydatidosis diagnoses were higher in the regions of Alegrete (14.19%), Bagé (19.62%), and Pelotas (17.71%). The regions of Osório (1.86%), Santa Maria (2.10%), and São Luiz Gonzaga (1.83%) had highest rates of cysticercosis condemnations. All regions maintained an average bovine tuberculosis diagnosis rate of less than 1% and Estrela region had the highest index (0.70%). Results showed that the three diseases occurred in all regions of the state, the average prevalence rates in each region are variable, and distribution seems to be regionalized. This knowledge contributes to the plans for controlling these diseases, which are zoonoses that cause economic losses to the productive sector.

The open pollination cultivars (VPA) of maize are an alternative of production for a small property, because it presents a good agronomic performance and low production cost, mainly due to the possibility of seed production with low cost. The objective of this research was to evaluate the agronomic performance and economic viability of open pollination cultivars of maize in a low-altitude site in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The experiment was conducted during the 2018/2019 crop season, in the experimental area of the Federal University of Santa Maria-UFSM, in the municipality of Santa Maria-RS. The open pollination maize cultivars (SCS 154 Fortuna, SCS 155 Catarina, and SCS 156 Colorado) were used. The experiment consisted of three treatments and four replicates and the experimental design used was that of complete blocks at random. The open pollination cultivars presented an adequate agronomic performance in a low-altitude region in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, associated with the economic viability of the crop in the central region of the state.
