Wine Production

The article performed a study of multiple cases that involved interviews with owners of three canteens of wine production, located in the region of “Quarta Colônia de Imigração Italiana”, central area of the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. This research aimed to analyze the influence of location, proximity and social relations in the processes of creation and transfer of local knowledge. It was conducted semi-structured interviews with owners of canteens, which are in the same municipality and in the same location, a few kilometers of each other. Results highlight that the geographical proximity per se is not sufficient for knowledge to be created, transmitted and maintained in a given locality. Particularly in the case of handicraft products such as wine, which involves a large portion of tacit knowledge, the establishment of social relations and family is a necessary condition for knowledge to be created, shared and saved. However, a series of problems have been observed and analyzed in the locality, which makes that knowledge restrained to some families and not maintained over time. As an example, wine production knowledge is essentially tacit and not codified; the indifference of younger generations regarding the knowledge base of the elderly; weak interactions and knowledge sharing among winemakers.

Resumo: A população idosa tem aumentado em âmbito mundial, particularmente no Rio Grande do Sul. Atualmente grande parte desses indivíduos precisa de algum tipo de ajuda para realizar tarefas simples do dia-a-dia. O presente estudo objetivou conhecer os senti mentos do idoso em relação à possibilidade de dependência física, identificando as atividades realizadas para evitá-la ou retardá-la. A pesquisa descritiva com enfoque qualitativo contou com a participação de 10 idosas frequentadoras do Programa Maior Idade, em São Leopoldo, que não possuíam dependência física e tinham mais de 68 anos de idade. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada e interpretados pela análise de conteúdo contido nas falas das pesquisadas. Os resultados mostraram que a possibilidade de dependência física acarreta sentimentos de frustração e inutilidade, levando ao afastamento do convívio social, enquanto que a independência leva a sensação de autonomia e satisfação pela vida. Atividade física, lazer e cuidados com a alimentação foram citados como responsáveis pela sensação de bem-estar e por evitar ou retardar a dependência física.Conclui-se que a dependência física gera diminuição na qualidade de vida do idoso e pode ser evitada ou reduzida através da adoção de um estilo de vida saudável. Palavras-chave: Idoso Fragilizado; Qualidade de Vida; Estilo de Vida. Abstract:  The elderly population has increased worldwide, particularly in Rio Grande do Sul.

Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is a common dermatosis, defined as a genetic-related disease which predisposes to skin inflammation and pruritus, associated to a IgE-specific response in most of cases. Clinical diagnosis may be later complemented by skin allergy and/or serological tests. The aim of these tests is to identify possible allergens in order to enable the clinicians to select candidate antigens for allergen specific immunotherapy. In the present study 58 CAD positive animals were tested. All were submitted to the intradermal test (IDT) and screened for the presence of antibodies against different antigens using ELISA. The obtained results show a high prevalence of sensitization among the tested dogs to house dust mites and to pollen ofC. dactylon. With this work it was possible to identify the main allergens involved in immunological response of dogs with CAD living in central area of Rio Grande do Sul.

This book, which has the age vulnerability of elderly prisoners materialized by the oblivion of this portion of the population by penitentiary policies as its central theme, was elaborated in the scope of the Postgraduate Program in Social Policy and Rights of the Catholic University of Pelotas, within the line of Human Rights, Security and Access to Justice research. From the study of the population and prison aging, the penal execution legislation, the penitentiary policies, as well as from the contributions of the Recognition Theory, a theoretical basis is built for dialoguing during the interviews with the elderly prisoners in two prison houses of the 5th Penitentiary Region of Rio Grande do Sul. Categories considered as factors related to aging and that would contribute to greater vulnerability of the elderly are raised and discussed based on the idea that the denial of aging by society, and consequent omission of the elderly in Brazilian penitentiary policies, generates the problem confirmed by this thesis: the existence of age vulnerability of the elderly in prison.

The purpose of this study is to explore how teenagers view the relationships and interactions in the process of healthily becoming an adolescent. This qualitative exploratory research was conducted with ten teenagers in a state college in a town in southern Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, from August to October, 2007. We used semi-structured interviews to collect the data. Later, we decided to use a thematic analysis, in which two themes emerged: (1) the process of building relationships and interactions in adolescence and (2) the risk in social life. As a result, we realized the importance of interpersonal relationships formed in adolescence, which deserve the nurse’s attention. Nurses can help in the guiding of this population in basic health units, hospitals or schools, to a healthy adolescence. Thus, teenagers may enjoy the relationships built in this process in order to grow and to enter into adulthood.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the social representations of health care of the Mbyá-Guarani ethnic group by multidisciplinary teams from the Special Indigenous Health District in the south coast of Rio Grande do Sul state (Distrito Sanitário Especial Indígena Litoral Sul do Rio Grande do Sul), Brazil. Method: a qualitative method based on the theory of social representations was used. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with 20 health workers and by participant observation. The interviews were analyzed with ALCESTE software, which conducts a lexical content analysis using quantitative techniques for the treatment of textual data. Results: there were disagreements in the health care concepts and practices between traditional medicine and biomedicine; however, some progress has been achieved in the area of intermedicality. The ethnic boundaries established between health workers and indigenous peoples based on their representations of culture and family, together with the lack of infrastructure and organization of health actions, are perceived as factors that hinder health care in an intercultural context. Conclusion: a new basis for the process of indigenous health care needs to be established by understanding the needs identified and by agreement among individuals, groups, and health professionals via intercultural exchange.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the constituent services of the network to combat violence against rural women in municipalities in the northwestern region of Rio Grande do Sul and to analyze the articulation and communication of services in search of the resolution of situations of violence. Method: descriptive-exploratory, qualitative study, carried out through semi-structured interviews with 26 professionals from intersectoral services, as well as managers and/or those responsible for these services. Data were systematized through content analysis. Results: although the professionals collectively discuss and plan coping actions, difficulties were identified in the approximation between services, related to the definition of flow, knowledge of actions/referrals, fear of seeing and reporting violence, understanding that it is not a question of demand of their field of action, and women's access to services. Final considerations: it is evident the need to implement public policies that address the singularities of violence against women in rural settings.
