This research aims at analyzing the relation between the flow of knowledge, lock-in and stage of the lifecycle of a cluster. For that, the Footwear Cluster of Vale dos Sinos-Paranhana in Rio Grande do Sul was chosen as a study object. The results point out that the cluster is little collaborative and little innovative. The cluster is still recognized as a great footwear producer, but the own identity of the people with the cluster is being lost. The local culture does not promote the diffusion of knowledge, since the companies are closed. This research contributes with the comprehension of how the clusters develop, for this purpose, the flow of knowledge will have a central role in the renewal of the cluster. As a practical implication, the awareness of the difficulties and the necessary mechanisms to renovate a cluster are important so that it is possible to work on sectoral policies and of cluster. As theoretical contribution, the study reinforces that the lack of new knowledge influences the imprisonment, resulting from its dependent trajectory, leading it to the decline.

O vinho é um elemento importante da cultura italiana, pois permite a associação da identidade e memória coletiva, resultando em paisagens repletas de nostalgia e materialidade. No Brasil, especialmente no Rio Grande do Sul, a colonização italiana contribuiu para o aparecimento de várias paisagens vitícolas, já que o vinho é um elemento identitário deste povo. Dessa forma, este artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre a cultura italiana e a paisagem vitícola presentes no espaço rural de Nova Palma, objetivando analisar o vinho como elemento da paisagem e da cultura italiana do povo deste espaço, através da abordagem da pesquisa qualitativa com realização de entrevistas semi-estruturas e revisão de literatura. Pretendendo assim, contribuir para as discussões sobre a cultura italiana, paisagem e o vinho. Os elementos ligados ao universo do vinho estão presentes na paisagem rural de Nova Palma - RS, cuja tradição e sentimento de pertencimento a cultura italiana são fortemente visíveis nos moradores do local através das formas espaciais, valores e hábitos. Neste município os vinhedos centenários, herança da colonização italiana, dividem espaços com novos cultivos de videira e com a fabricação artesanal do vinho.Abstract:Wine is an important part of Italian culture, because it allows the combination of identity and collective memory, resulting in landscapes full of nostalgia and materiality.

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar o comportamento financeiro dos estudantes de uma universidade no noroeste do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, avaliando as principais razões das dívidas das pessoas, aplicando uma survey com 160 alunos do curso de administração. Foram utilizadas técnicas de média aritmética e testes de diferença de média. As diferenças de média apontaram diferentes significados de propensão ao endividamento por gênero, idade, estado civil, filhos e renda. Os resultados mostraram-se significativos referentes ao perfil pela dívida por falta de planejamento, alta propensão ao consumo, falta de desconto à vista, empréstimo do nome e por acesso ao crédito. Os procedimentos apontaram que os respondentes gastam menos ou igual à renda que recebem, possuem dívidas, porém, não estão atrasadas e são mais cautelosos ao investir, uma vez que não desejam assumir riscos.Palavras-Chave: Endividamento.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to discuss the meanings attributed by professionals to the construction of the service network for women in situations of violence. Methods: Convergent Care Research developed with the application of a convergence group with 32 participants from the health, social assistance, or public security sectors, in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. The data was produced during ten meetings, based on the problematization methodology, and submitted to analysis of thematic content and interpreted with the referential of networks. Results: the construction of the network is an artisanal work carried out by people continuously, permeated by bonds, communication and partnerships between services and knowledge of work processes. Lashings require permanent movement. Final Considerations: building a network implies defining intertwining lines; form nodes that create cross-sector connections. There is a need to institutionalize processes through care continuity protocols, associated with an efficient communication system between sectors.

Data collection happened in an institution that delivers care to children with special needs, located in a town of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. RESULTS: data analysis revealed that the woman abdicates from her social, professional and even personal life to take better care of her child. Besides, these mothers were shown to need psychosocioeconomic support from their families and the people who surround them, in both the process of initial adaptation and overcoming and the whole period of care for the child. CONCLUSION: The woman assumes and experiences the responsibility of taking care of the child with special needs.

In Brazil, Oligacanthorhynchus pardalis (Westrumb, 1821) Schmidt, 1972 has been observed in five species of wild felines. In the present study, five roadkilled oncillas (Leopardus tigrinus Schreber, 1775) were collected in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Chronic lesions caused by O. pardalis were observed in the small intestine of one of the specimens. Histological examination identified a well-defined leukocyte infiltration and an area of collagenous fibrosis. Only males parasites (n = 5) were found, with a prevalence of 20%. The life cycle of Oligacanthorhynchus species is poorly known, although arthropods may be their intermediate hosts. The low prevalence encountered may be related to the small number of hosts examined, and the reduced ingestion of arthropods infected by larvae of O. pardalis. This is the first report of O. pardalis parasitizing L. tigrinus in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Abstract: The acanthocephalan species Quadrigyrus torquatus Van Cleave, 1920 has been found in different hosts from South America, but recent papers have not focused on its morphology traits. Different species of Astyanax Baird & Girard, 1854 were collected with seine nets between January 2017 and October 2017 in Pintada Island, Lake Guaíba, Porto Alegre city (30º17’11’’S and 51º18’01”W), Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Acanthocephalans found in cysts were processed according to the techniques for the group. Specimens of Q. torquatus were identified based mainly in the morphology of proboscis hooks and trunk spines, and by the measurements made using light microscopy. Supplemental observations on the morphology of Q. torquatus were made for the first time considering the morphology and amount of hooks and spines. The amplitude of intensity of infections was 1 (A. aff. fasciatus) and 1‒3 (A. lacustris) helminths. This difference could be related to the number of hosts examined, the feeding habit of the hosts or related to aspects in the parasite life cycle. This paper is the first report of Q. torquatus in A. aff. fasciatus and A. lacustris from Lake Guaíba, extending the distribution to the southernmost state of Brazil, thus contributing to the knowledge of acanthocephalans in freshwater fishes from South America.
