In the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) the disease is one of the main causes of death in bovine herds. The confirmation of suspected rabies cases upon clinical examination depends on specific laboratory diagnosis. The Instituto de Pesquisas Veterinárias Desidério Finamor (IPVDF) is the reference laboratory in RS to diagnose rabies. The objective of the present study was to present a spatial-temporal description of diagnostic procedures of rabies in cattle in the years 2011 to 2015 in RS. Materials, Methods & Results: The results of diagnosis procedures of rabies in cattle carried out in the Laboratory of Virology, IPVDF, between January 2011 and December 2015 were listed. Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) and biological assays for confirming rabies cases were used. Cattle population density per area of a municipality, as well as date, species involved, location of suspected case, and diagnosis were obtained from exams and from official rabies record, and input to a spreadsheet file. Spatial distribution maps of cattle rabies confirmed in laboratory and cattle population density per municipality were constructed using the software TerraView 4.2.2 (INPE). In the study period, 998 samples of brains of cattle presenting neurological symptoms compatible with rabies, of which 582 (58%) were confirmed in the laboratory. The frequency of positive cases on a yearly basis varied between 41 and 65%, with statistically lower number of positives in 2011 (P > 0.05). The annual incidence of rabies for a population of 10,000,000 bovines was 33, 88, 112, 108, and 79, respectively, for the years 2011 to 2015, in that order. A positive correlation was observed between the number of samples analyzed and the incidence of positive cases in the study period, and statistically significant difference in incidence between years (P > 0.05). Samples were from 175 municipalities, of which 114 (65%) had at least one confirmed rabies case and 61 did not have any. The five municipalities that sent most samples for analysis were Viamão (n = 66), Montenegro (n = 40), Camaquã (n = 39), Gravataí (n = 38), and São Lourenço do Sul (n = 37). The spatial distribution of rabies in cattle in a year did not follow a defined pattern, though most cases confirmed in the laboratory occurred in the greater Porto Alegre region and in southeast RS. Discussion: High incidence of rabies was observed in 2012 and 2013, and in the two following years the number of cases confirmed in laboratory remained high, compared with 2011. The high incidence of rabies cases confirmed in laboratory correlated with the number of samples analyzed. The fall in vaccine coverage during the study period may also have prompted the increase in suspected cases and in the number of samples examined in the laboratory. A large number of the municipalities presenting rabies cases in cattle was in the greater Porto Alegre region and in southeast RS, which are areas of high and intermediate risk for the disease, according to a previous epidemiological modeling study. The spatial distribution of positive cases was not associated with the cattle population density. The large number of rabies in cattle in RS underscores the importance of the disease and the high risk of exposure, both to humans and animals. The results presented herein may help define control and prevention actions against rabies in RS. Keywords: bovines; epidemiology, laboratory diagnosis, Rio Grande do Sul, rabies.

    Efeitos Dissuasórios De Ações Policiais Sobre Roubos Na Região Metropolitana De Porto Alegre Efeitos Dissuasórios De Ações Policiais Sobre Roubos Na Região Metropolitana De Porto Alegre Cristiano Aguiar de Oliveira Fernanda Lopes Johnston Resumo Na última década houve uma redução significativa nos totais de roubos na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre com posterior crescimento. Este artigo investiga as relações entre a política de segurança pública representada pelas ações policiais e as variações nas taxas de roubos ocorridos na região neste período. Para isso, se utiliza um modelo dinâmico de séries de tempo, um Vetor de Correção de Erros (VEC) com informações mensais socioeconômicas (Rendimento e Desemprego) e de prisões (Foragidos Recapturados, Prisões em Flagrante por Roubos e por Drogas) no período de 2007 a 2014. Os resultados indicam que existe uma tendência estocástica comum de longo prazo entre as variáveis e que variações nas prisões em flagrante por drogas e foragidos recapturados impactam a taxa de roubos. Há um choque negativo significativo estatisticamente em que se observa que a cada dez presos em flagrante por porte ou tráfico de drogas, há uma redução de quatro roubos neste período enquanto que a cada cem foragidos recapturados há uma redução de 136 roubos registrados na RMPA. Palavras-chave: Crime, Ações Policiais, Dissuasão, Séries de Tempo. Abstract In the last decade there was a significant reduction of total thefts in Greater Porto Alegre with further growth. This paper investigates the relationship between public security policy represented by the police actions and changes in theft rates occurred in the region during this period. For this, it uses a dynamic model of time series, an error correction vector (VEC) with socioeconomic monthly information (income and unemployment) and prisons (Fugitives recaptured, Prisons in Blatant by Robbery and Drug) for the period 2007 to 2014.

  • Civil Society and Democratic Construction: from Essentialist Manichaeism to the Relational Approach
    Sociologias vol.2 no.se Porto Alegre 2006 Civil society and democratic construction: from essentialist Manichaeism to the relational approach Marcelo Kunrath Silva Doctor in Sociology at UFRGS. Professor of the Department of Sociology/Post-Graduation Program in Rural Development/UFRGS. E-mail: [email protected]. Brazil ABSTRACT This article aims at debating an “object” that has deserved little attention when traditional and authoritarian traits that block democratic construction in Brazil are examined: “civil society”. Based on the theoretical-methodological support of Norbert Elias’s “relational sociology” and the empirical foundation provided by comparative analysis between civil society and municipal governments in two cities of the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, Brazil, we challenge an essentialist and unifying approach of social actors that fails to see civil society as a space for diversity, power relations and conflict, where actors marked by several orientations meet and keep distinct relations to democracy. Key words: Civil Society, Relational Sociology, Social Participation, Democratization Introduction This article 1 is aimed at debating an “object” that has been getting little attention when analyzing the traditional and authoritarian characteristics that block the democratic construction in Brazil: the “civil society”. 2 Several approaches to analyzing civil society stress the positive relation between societal organization and democratization: either working as citizenship “schools”, allowing public expression of social representations and interests, controlling and guiding State action or yet developing relations for collective trust and involvement, social organizations would play an intrinsically positive role for democracy. 1 A preliminary version of this article was presented at the Thematic Seminar “Decision process and implementation of public policies in Brazil: new times, new perspectives for analysis”, in 2004, during the 28 th Annual Meeting of ANPOCS.

  • Intelligibility in Large Spatial Systems the Case of Porto Alegre
    Intelligibility in Large Spatial Systems Ref 119 The Case of Porto Alegre Metropolitan Region Claudio Ugalde UFRGS, PROPUR-Faculty of Architecture, Porto Alegre, Brazil [email protected] Décio Rigatti UFRGS, PROPUR-Faculty of Architecture, Porto Alegre, Brazil [email protected] Fabio Zampieri UFRGS, PROPUR-Faculty of Architecture, Porto Alegre, Brazil [email protected] Andrea Braga UFRGS, PROPUR-Faculty of Architecture, Porto Alegre, Brazil [email protected] Keywords spatial analysis; space syntax; metropolitan planning; large scale movement; urban modeling Abstract In 2006, almost 1,500 Brazilian municipalities, with population over 20,000 people or located in metropolitan areas approved or reviewed their master plans, influenced by new law requirements and principles such as the social function of property, urban sustainability, popular participation and democratic public management. At this moment, urban transportation debate went over and above its limits as a public service to be provided and reached an urban mobility approach. The discussion crossed different points of view. However, the influence of the urban grid on pedestrian and vehicle movement has been seldom referred to. Urban space structuring is seen as a generic process in public transportation policies, described by abstract center/periphery models where costs are often related exclusively to metric distances. Consequent problems from this incomplete approach, under a spatial point of view, become worse in Brazilian metropolitan areas, once recent master plans of metropolitan municipalities brought out difficulties in understanding themselves as parts of the metropolitan whole. This was expressed not only in the number of spaces which didn't join up to form coherent continuities but also in the lack of spaces selected to provide a wider mobility system in considerable large sectors of these cities, parts of the conurbation.

    Habitação de interesse social na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre: resultados do Minha Casa Minha Vida entre 2007 e 2015 Resumo Esse artigo tem dois objetivos: 1) mostrar a eficiência no quesito velocidade das modalidades do Minha Casa Minha Vida voltadas para habitação urbanas de interesse social, de 2009 a 2015, na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre. Mediante análise quantitativa, percebe-se que, a princípio, a modalidade Faixa 1, que opera via mercado, é mais eficiente. Porém, se na modalidade Entidades separa-se aqueles empreendimentos que se realizam em uma fase e possuem participação social desde o início do projeto, nesse caso, supera a Faixa 1. Isto é, às vezes a participação dos beneficiários pode ser eficiente. 2) testar o ajuste espacial entre as contratações das moradias e o déficit. Uma correlação forte é observada, mostrando que a alocação de recursos foi destinada aos municípios que mais precisavam, ainda que não seja possível afirmar que as moradias estão localizadas nas regiões que apresentam maior déficit. Palavras-chaves Minha Casa Minha Vida, Déficit Habitacional Urbano, Habitação de Interesse Social, Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre Abstract This article has two objectives: 1) to show the efficiency on the matter of speed of MCMV modes which face urban social housing, from 2009 to 2015, in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre. Through quantitative analysis, at first, the Business mode, which operates through the market, is more efficient. However, if the Entity mode separates those enterprises that take place in one phase and have social participation since the beginning of the project, in this case, Entity mode exceeds the Business one.

  • A Comprehensive Study of the Transformation of the Brazilian Automotive Industry: Preliminary Findings
    A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE BRAZILIAN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY: PRELIMINARY FINDINGS Mauro ZILBOVICIUS, Roberto MARX, Mario Sergio SALERNO1 Many studies of the automobile sector in Brazil have indicated that a lot of transformations are happening in the sector since the opening of the Brazilian economy in the beginning of the 1990’s (see, for example, Humphrey and Salerno, 1999 and Salerno, Arbix, Zilbovicius and Dias, 1998). In Brazil, the sector had to face a broader transformation and restructuring in global terms: the supply chain management, the product design process and, broadly, the value adding process were all conditioned by the globalisation process. Traditional verticalized structures of the assemblers began to give way to smaller units with much less suppliers. A structure of tiers began to be established, causing a revolution in the supply chain. From the point of view of the traditionally established suppliers, many of them operating with Brazilian-owned capital, the picture has completely changed. New producers entered the country, establishing new operations and/or acquiring Brazilian companies. After just a few years, Brazil is now the country with the bigger diversity of automobile brands produced in a single country. Furthermore, Brazil is a key place regarding new organisational designs. Almost all of the new plants present new schemes of production organization and supply chain management: it is possible to observe the “modular consortium” (VW trucks, in Resende – see Marx, Salerno and Zilbovicius, 1997) and some variations around the idea of “industrial condominium” (GM Celta plant, in Gravataí, southern region of Brazil, and Ford Amazon plant, in Bahia, northeast region – see Salerno and Dias, 2000).
