This article aims to analyze the methods or succession arrangements carried out by farmer’s children whose properties develop non-agricultural activities. Twenty-six young people have been interviewed in the town of Crissiumal, located in the Northwest Region of Rio Grande do Sul state. These young have been selected following some specifications: to live in rural areas on their paternal properties or to be independently settled on other properties; to live in rural areas, performing non-agricultural, pluriactive or para-agricultural activities as a way of generating income. The results demonstrate that non-agricultural activities are important both in keeping the youth in the rural areas and in maintaining the properties’ succession. Therefore, it is possible to find three succession arrangements: generational succession, rural succession, and hereditary succession. It means that the permanence of young people, children of farmers, in the rural area goes beyond the traditional model of generational succession. There are other arrangements in progress when working within the possibilities of non-agricultural activities. Keywords: Continuity. Rural Area. Succession. Rural Development.

As aves destacam-se dentro dos vertebrados por serem um grupo diverso e adaptado a diferentes ambientes, a composição da comunidade de aves de um determinado local é um importante bioindicador ambiental, pois ela reflete alterações recentes ou pretéritas de determinada área. Na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio dos Sinos, as pressões sobre os remanescentes de ecossistemas naturais são intensas em decorrência da urbanização crescente, do estabelecimento de indústrias e da ampliação das fronteiras agrícolas, esses fatores associados geram a redução e fragmentação de habitats, com impactos irrecuperáveis para a flora e a fauna. Devido à escassez de dados sobre a avifauna do município de Taquara, o presente estudo teve como objetivo levantar informações sobre o grupo, listando as espécies de aves locais. Entre agosto de 2016 e junho de 2017 foram realizadas quatro amostragens mensais em duas áreas rurais do município, totalizando 44 campanhas de observação e 132 horas de esforço amostral. As espécies foram identificadas e classificadas conforme sua frequência de ocorrência mensal, em espécies comuns e raras. Foram registradas 133 espécies distribuídas em 47 famílias, o que representa mais de 20% das espécies ocorrentes para o estado. Ao longo do período amostrado, 90 espécies foram classificadas como comuns e 47 consideradas raras para as áreas pesquisadas.Palavras-chave: Aves. Bacia hidrográfica do Rio dos Sinos.

The composition of the bird community of a certain place is an important environmental bioindicator since it reflects recent or previous environmental disturbances of a certain area. In the Sinos River Basin, environmental pressures on the remnants of natural ecosystems are intense as a result of increasing urbanization, the establishment of industries and expansion of agricultural frontiers which generate habitat reduction and fragmentation with irrecoverable damages on flora and fauna. Due to the scarcity of data on the avifauna of the municipality of Taquara, the present study aimed to gather information and list the species of local birds. Between August 2016 and June 2017, four monthly samplings were carried out in two rural areas of the municipality, totaling 44 observation campaigns and 132 hours of sample effort. The species were identified and classified as common and rare according to their frequency of occurrence. There were 133 species distributed in 47 families, representing more than 20% of the species that occurred in the state. During the sampled period, 90 species were classified as common and 47 were considered rare for the areas surveyed.Keywords: Birds. Hydrographic basin of Sinos River. Preservation.

An attempt was made to assess the women contribution towards agriculture in Vavuniya district, Sri Lanka. 60 farm family households' women were randomly selected from rural and urban area of Kovilkulam AI region of Vavuniya district in Sri Lanka and the data were collected by constructed questionnaire. The objectives of this study are to identify the factors contributing women participation in agriculture, to identify the constraints faced by the women in participating agriculture and to evaluate the women participation in decision making activity in agriculture. Minitab 15 and MS excel were used for data analysis. The level of women participation in agricultural activities was found out using chi-square test and the factors contributing for women participation in agricultural activities were identified using multiple regression analysis in urban and rural areas separately (α=0.05). The results revealed that 90% of the rural women respondents and 50% of the urban respondents participated in the agricultural activities which is a significant difference. The mean values of women participation in agricultural activities in urban and rural areas were 77 hours and 836 hours per annum respectively. The multiple regression model for women participation in urban area found that the participation of women negatively correlated with status of employment, age and education level (p=0.000). In rural area, age and educational level were negatively influencing on women participation in agricultural activities (p=0.000). R-square values of fitted regression models were 72 % and 91% in urban and rural area respectively 72% and 91% variation in respective women participation were explained by these models. The obstacles for the women in participation in agricultural activities were reported as lack of knowledge and training in agriculture field, family burden, cultural and social barriers and physical constraints. 60% of women from rural areas and 90% of women from urban areas were involved in decision making especially in the selection of crops and varieties for planting and livestock rearing. Enhancing the awareness and the technical knowledge to the women in the field of agriculture would contribute to increase income from agriculture at household level, district level and finally at national level. Int.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonosis caused by the protozoan of the genus Leishmania. The disease is transmitted by the bite of a sand fly vector. Although the main reservoirs are dogs, other hosts can be infected and may play this role. Rio Grande do Sul western region, located on the triple border of Brazil-Uruguay-Argentina, represents a VL transmission area. The goal of the present study was to identify Leishmania spp. infection in animals from rural areas of Uruguaiana, Rio Grande do Sul. Nine farms in the Uruguaiana municipality, Rio Grande do Sul state, were included. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 113 animals (canine [n=22], equine [n=91]) for detection of Leishmania spp. DNA was isolated and polymerase chain reaction was performed. Eight (7%) animals with Leishmania spp. infection were detected on two farms in the same geographical area, seven of which were horses and one was canine, all of which were asymptomatic. To investigate the species of Leishmania, one of the positive equine samples was subjected to direct sequencing, which confirmed the presence of L. infantum genetic material. Results of this study confirm the presence of L. infantum-infected animals in rural areas of Uruguaiana, and provide evidence supporting further investigation of risk factors for dissemination in such areas.

The article presents the results of the sociological survey of the young rural population of the Republic of Kalmykia on the problems of migration. The study analyzes the main goals and directions of the migration of young people. The results of the survey showed that the basic factors of the migration from rural areas are low level salaries, lack of work places, undeveloped infrastructure. The low level of social conditions is also one of the factors of migration of young people. The majority of the respondents plan to live in metropolises of Russia. No one of the respondents wants to live in a rural area. Thus, the analysis of the survey results showed that for young rural population the main channel for mobility is migration. It is important to note that rural area settlements have low level of attractiveness and prestige among contemporary young people which is due to low quality and level of life and the lack of preconditions for implementing life plans and strategies of the young people of the region.

Este estudo analisa as condições e formas de produção, no contexto das transformações agrárias do município de Pinheirinho do Vale, no Médio Alto Uruguai do Rio Grande do Sul, com vistas à proposição de estratégias de desenvolvimento para agricultura local. O estudo tomou como referência a teoria e o método de Sistemas Agrários. As análises realizadas permitiram evidenciar os principais condicionantes da evolução e diferenciação agrária local, bem como o perfil e potencial de geração de valor e renda dos sistemas básicos de produção atualmente praticados face à necessidade de reprodução socioeconômica dos diferentes tipos de agricultores locais. A partir dos resultados destas análises foi possível identificar três situações típicas em termos de desenvolvimento, considerando a diversidade de condições e necessidade de reprodução social dos agricultores. De acordo com as especificidades de cada situação, foram elaboradas proposições de projetos e ações estratégicas visando o desenvolvimento da agricultura do município. Este estudo ratifica a importância da análise sistemática das realidades agrárias como um requisito fundamental a proposições de projetos estratégicos e ações voltadas ao desenvolvimento da agricultura e do meio rural, assim como a pertinência da teoria de Sistema Agrário para a efetividade de tais análises.

A Latin palindrome was discovered in the ruins of Pompeii, wich was destroyed by an eruptionof the Vesuvius in the year 79AD. That palindrome reappeared in the town of Exaceter in the 4th century,during the Roman occupation of Britain. In 1992, in the district of Capão Grande, Cruz Alta, in the state ofRio Grande do Sul, an ALERS-Project researcher came across the same Latin palindrome. What makes thattext so remarkable as to have been preserved for such a long time in the popular culture of communities sodiverse and far removed in place and time? The present article intends to establish that relation.
