This study describes the general, macroscopic and microscopic anatomical structure of the called "Maria-Preta" (Maba inconstans (Jacq.) Gris.), a native tree to the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The wood anatomy of this species is compared with the usual literature for this botanical family. It was found a great similarity between the wood of Maba inconstans and the xylology of the genus Diospyros.

Visou-se caracterizar física, química, microbiológica e sensorialmente o milho pipoca, produzido na serra gaúcha e comparálo com amostras comerciais importadas. Também caracterizou-se física e sensorialmente o milho pipoca após o processo de expansão. Os resultados evidenciaram grande similaridade entre as características de todas amostras, tanto para os grãos in natura quanto para os grãos expandidos. A maior diferença observada sensorialmente envolveu o atributo cor. Concluiuse que o milho pipoca produzido na região serrana do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul apresenta qualidade similar ao milho pipoca importado. Abstract The aim of the present work was to evaluate physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics of popcorn produced in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and to compare it with imported commercial samples. Physical and sensory evaluation were also performed in popcorn after expansion process. The results evidenced a great similarity among the characteristics of all samples as for grains in natura, and for all the expanded grains. The biggest sensorial difference observed was in relationship to the color attribute. It was concluded that the popcorn produced in Rio Grande do Sul showed similar quality to the imported popcorn.

 This paper describes the wood anatomy of Cassia corymbosa Lam. (Leguminosae Caesalpinioideae), a small ornamental shrub with yellow flowers, commonly named int the State of Rio Grande do Sul as "Fedegoso".The most important anatomical characteristics observed was the presence of short vessel elements with small diameter and simple perforation plates, rays of Heterogeneous II type, libriform non-septate fibers, and scanty paratracheal axial parenchyma axial parencgyma.

RESUMO: Antracologia é o estudo do carvão arqueológico ou de origem sedimentar a partir da anatomia do lenho. Uma correta identificação depende de um bom conhecimento da anatomia do lenho e de material de referência adequado. Neste artigo descrevemos a anatomia do carvão de dez espécies nativas que ocorrem na Planície Costeira do Rio Grande do Sul – Lithraea brasiliensis, Schinus polygamus (Anacardiaceae), Ilex dumosa (Aquifoliaceae), Ocotea pulchella (Lauraceae), Myrcia palustris, Myrrhinium atropurpureum (Myrtaceae), Guapira opposita (Nyctaginaceae), Randia ferox (Rubiaceae), Casearia sylvestris (Salicaceae) e Chrysophyllum marginatum (Sapotaceae). A estrutura anatômica da madeira se preservou perfeitamente após carbonização, apesar de ter ocorrido redução de massa e contração anisotrópica. As pequenas variações induzidas por estes fenômenos não interferem na qualidade do carvão nem no potencial de identificação dos taxa. Os resultados obtidos corroboram a viabilidade da identificação taxonômica a partir da anatomia do carvão.ABSTRACT: Anthracology is the study of charcoal from archaeological or sedimentary contexts based on wood anatomy. A proper identification depends on a good knowledge of charcoal anatomy as well as on the availability of appropriate reference material. In this paper we describe the charcoal anatomy of ten woody species that occur at Rio Grande do Sul Coastal Plain (Southern Brazil) – Lithraea brasiliensis, Schinus polygamus (Anacardiaceae), Ilex dumosa (Aquifoliaceae), Ocotea pulchella (Lauraceae), Myrcia palustris, Myrrhinium atropurpureum (Myrtaceae), Guapira opposita (Nyctaginaceae), Randia ferox (Rubiaceae), Casearia sylvestris (Salicaceae) and Chrysophyllum marginatum (Sapotaceae). The wood anatomical structure was perfectly preserved after carbonization, despite mass loss and anisotropic shrinkage. The small variations due to these properties do not affect charcoal quality nor its identification potential. The results here obtained attest of the reliability of taxonomic identification from charcoal anatomy.

The wood anatomy of Celtis pallida Torrey (Ulmaceae) is described. The plant is a small woody shrub, native in the United States and from central Argentina to Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). The anatomical structure is similar with that reported in the literature for Ulmaceae family, the genus Celtis and the species itself, described before upon american samples. The anatomical structure is analysed on a taxonomic and phylogenetic base. A botanical description of the species is also provided due to its rarity in Brazil.

Terrestrial Isopods were sampled in four protected Atlantic Forest areas located in Serra do Mar, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. A total of 2,217 individuals of six species (Atlantoscia sp., Benthana werneri, Pseudodiploexochus tabularis, Pudeoniscus obscurus, Styloniscus spinosus and Trichorhina sp.) were captured in pitfall traps. The exotic species S. spinosus is recorded for the first time for the Americas. Another introduced species, P. tabularis, previously recorded only from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, had its geographic distribution extended to the state of São Paulo. The most abundant isopods in this study belong to an undescribed species of Atlantoscia.

Treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU) includes the use of a metabolic formula which should be provided free of charge by the Unified Health System (SUS). This retrospective, observational study sought to characterize judicial channels to obtain PKU treatment in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. Lawsuits filed between 2001- 2010 and having as beneficiaries PKU patients requesting treatment for the disease were included. Of 20 lawsuits filed, corresponding to 16.8% of RS patients with PKU, 19 were retrieved for analysis. Of these, only two sought to obtain therapies other than metabolic formula. In all the other 17 cases, prior treatment requests had been granted by the State Department of Health. Defendants included the State (n = 19), the Union (n = 1), and municipalities (n = 4). In 18/19 cases, the courts ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. Violation of the right to health and discontinuation of State-provided treatment were the main reasons for judicial recourse. Unlike other genetic diseases, patients with PKU seek legal remedy to obtain a product already covered by the national pharmaceutical assistance policy, suggesting that management failures are a driving factor for judicialization in Brazil.

In this study we verified data of water temperatures collected by CORSAN-RS from 1996 to 2004 in several cities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, and analyzed the possibility of raising the most cultivated fish species in Brazil. The water temperature from 1996 to 2004 was 16 to 28ºC in summer, 17 to 23ºC in fall, 14 to 17ºC (down to 9ºC in the coldest months) in winter and 14 to 21ºC in spring. Native species of this state, such as silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen), traíra (Hoplias malabaricus), dorado (Salminus brasiliensis), pintado (Pimelodus maculatus), as well as carps (family Cyprinidae), are resistant to the low winter temperatures. These species have a lower growth rate in coldest months (winter/spring) but a good development in warmer months (summer/fall), reaching a satisfactory performance throughout the year. In the periods of more intense cold, mortality of some introduced species, such as surubim from Amazon Basin (Pseudoplatystoma sp.), pirapitinga (Piaractus brachypomus), pirarucu (Arapaimas gigas), pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus), tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) may occur. In addition, as most tropical species have a thermal range for growth and reproduction between 20 to 28ºC, some species may have poor development even in fall. Therefore, water temperature in this state should be considered in the choice of fish species to be cultivated.
