Cooperation networks and transformations in the food production and distribution systems of family farming in the North Coast of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Abstract The presence of catfish of the Ariidae family in the list of endangered species of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), as from 2014, led to forbidding fishing two species of this family. Thus, artisanal fisherfolk lost a significant part of their income, causing conflicts between them and the fishing authorities in RS. This work aims mainly to understand the Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) of the artisanal fisherfolk of the North Coast of RS regarding the ecology and taxonomy of catfish of the Ariidae family, seeking to relate it to the establishment of the fishing regulations in force in the State. 33 semi-structured interviews were made with artisanal fisherfolk. The interviewees perceive differences among the region ethnospecies; hardly ever are they consulted during the fishing regulations establishment process. Considering the aforementioned aspects, the artisanal fisherfolk LEK on catfish can be an important tool in the participatory management of catfish fishing.

The Impact

From the first cases of Covid-19 in Rio Grande do Sul, in March 2020, we started monitoring the pandemic using an online Geographic Information System (GIS). Within the SIG Litoral Project, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, we developed the platform as a strategy to provide society with spatial analysis and organized data on the disease, bringing together researchers, scholarship holders and volunteers. The portal, focused on health communication, allows the visualization of data on the global, national and regional scales, in addition to monitoring the indigenous populations of the Amazon and mapping the solidarity networks in the North Coast of Rio Grande do Sul. In the article in question, we mainly focus on monitoring Covid-19 in Rio Grande do Sul, addressing the tools used, the challenges to obtaining data and some spatial analysis performed. We show divergences between data sources, indicating the problem of underreporting and the different methodologies employed by health surveillance systems. Finally, we address the impact of the monitoring of Covid-19, having a positive impact on society by providing transparency to official data, contributing to the plurality of the debate, the interaction of multidisciplinary teams and the academic training of students.

ABSTRACT Ryegrass is a weed of annual cycle that is present in winter crops, in orchards and vineyards of the South region of Brazil. The species is normally controlled by the glyphosate herbicide, but the continuous use of this product caused the selection of resistant biotypes. The use of ACCase inhibitor herbicides is the main alternative for the control of this species, but it has not been satisfactory in some places, thus causing suspicion of resistance to this action mechanism. Thus, the objective of this paper was to evaluate the occurrence and geographic distribution of ryegrass biotypes that are resistant to the clethodim herbicide in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. For that, seeds of ryegrass plants that survived the application of clethodim were collected in crops from the north region of RS, summing up to a total of 152 samples from 72 cities. The biotypes were submitted to the application of 120 g i.a. ha-1 (maximum registered dose) and 60 g i.a. ha-1 de clethodim (half the maximum registered dose). According to the results, among the samples of ryegrass seeds collected, there were no biotypes resistant to the clethodim herbicide when the maximum registered dose was applied and in the stage of three to four leaves. However, there were biotypes with lower susceptibility that survived half the maximum registered dose.

Introduction The city of Passo Fundo, in the north of the Rio Grande do Sul state, has been standing out in the health care field for many years. The state has become a reference in endovascular interventional neuroradiology. We will cover 10 years of experience in this area and divide our observations in 3 parts: cerebral angiograms (part I), carotid angioplasties (part II) and intracranial aneurysms (part III). The goal of part I is to statistically assess the cerebral angiograms, their indications, risks and complications, as well as to do a technical review. Materials and Methods A retrospective study from 2005 to 2015 with a total of 5,567 interventional neuroradiology procedures performed. A total of 4,114 angiograms, 639 embolizations of intracranial aneurysms, 414 carotid angioplasties, 143 embolizations of cerebral arteriovenous malformations, 32 embolizations of dural arteriovenous fistulas, 102 cerebral vasospasm treatments, 21 treatments of epistaxis, 36 embolizations of craniocervical tumor, 25 thrombolysis of ischemic stroke, 18 vertebroplasties and 13 embolizations of arteriovenous malformations of the face. Results A total of 4,084 procedures performed, 21,811 vessels studied, average vase 7.62/2.82 vessel and patient/procedure. Of these, 2,536 were diagnostic procedures and 1,548 angiographic controls. Of the total, 1,188 patients received only an angiogram, 27.14% of which were therapeutic procedures. We obtained a total of 3.89% complications: 2.33% reflection vasovagal, 0.56% allergic skin reaction, anaphylactic shock 0.07%, 0.27% femoral hematoma, 0.26% transient neurological deficit, 0.12% permanent neurological deficit and no case of death. Conclusion Cerebral angiography in adults, children and infants is a safe procedure with low risk of permanent neurological complications.

ABSTRACT: In Brazil, at least 30% of the total financial resources provided by the federal government for school feeding should be used to buy products from family farming. The present study examines the profile of the purchase of these products in municipalities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), south Brazil, in 2014. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out with information obtained through a questionnaire sent to the municipalities and filled by respondents. Of the 371 participating municipalities, 367 acquired products from family farming, and 86.8% of these municipalities achieved the minimum percentage required. Nutritionists and farmers were the main components involved in the articulation of this process. Difficulties faced by these individuals included the lack of organization of the producers, failure to meet the demand, and lack of interest. More than 80% of the municipalities bought food from the “Vegetables”, “Cereals, Breads, Pasta, and Tubers” and “Fruits” groups. Only 8% purchased products from socio-biodiversity. There was a great diversity of food purchased, most of which were in natura, despite the low acquisition of socio-biodiversity products. Results of this study indicated the concern and tendency of the Brazilian municipalities to support the local economy with incentives to consumption and production of regional foods.

Teaching Learning

Creating spaces to work on themes such as environment, sustainability and healthy eating is a practice adopted in early kindergarten schools. In this sense, the garden is a tool for working on various themes and developing students' commitment to the environment and to food production using sustainable techniques. Thus, this work aimed to plan and implement a vegetable garden at Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil Sol Criança (Santiago, Rio Grande do Sul) e no Colégio Totem (Cachoeira do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul). The planning of the garden was carried out with the help of teachers and pedagogical coordination of the schools involved, in order to provide greater interaction of students with the garden. For this, the beds were prepared with used tires, so that all the space was accessible to students. Members of the Horta Viva at School Extension Project prepare the flowerbeds and on the day of the vegetable planting the students and teachers of the schools participated in the activity. Activities were also planned to be developed with students during the school year. The garden has allowed for greater integration between students, and the space will serve for various teaching-learning activities in schools.
