Sinos River Hydrographic Basin: urban occupation, industrialization and environmental memory / Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio dos Sinos: ocupação urbana, industrialização e memória ambiental.

This article presents an analysis of the process of industrialization and urbanization of the Sinos Valley in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, starting from the establishment of leather goods and footwear manufacturing in the region during the 19th century when tanneries and factories producing footwear and/or components for footwear began to appear, and with special attention to aspects related to the environmental impact on the Sinos river hydrographic basin. The article is based on both bibliographic and documentary research and also draws on biographical narratives of workers with links to the leather goods and footwear industry obtained using ethnographic method. It was found that contemporary environmental conflicts emerge from within a memory of work and an environmental memory in which the factories, the unplanned urbanization, and the utilization of water and other natural resources form a chain of significance. Significance that precludes any form of fragmented analysis that isolates any of these aspects from the others: the economic, socio-historic, cultural, political, or the environmental.

Resumo O artigo aborda o processo de industrialização e urbanização do Vale do Rio dos Sinos/Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil, desde a implantação da indústria coureiro-calçadista na região, no século XIX, com o surgimento dos curtumes e das fábricas de calçados e/ou componentes para calçados, destacando, em especial, os aspectos ligados ao impacto ambiental na Bacia Hidrográfica dos Sinos. Faz-se uso de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, além da exposição de narrativas biográficas de trabalhadores ligados à indústria coureiro-calçadista, obtidas por meio do método etnográfico. Verifica-se que os conflitos ambientais contemporâneos emergem do interior de uma memória do trabalho e de uma memória ambiental, nas quais a fábrica, a ocupação urbana desordenada, o uso da água e dos demais recursos naturais formam um encadeamento de sentido que impede qualquer análise fragmentada que isole um destes aspectos: o econômico, o socio-histórico, o cultural, o político, o ambiental.

Ameloblastoma mandibular muy agresivo / Aggressive jaw ameloblastoma: report of one case

Se presenta una paciente de sexo femenino con diagnóstico de ameloblastoma folicular que se comportó de manera extraordinariamente agresiva, considerando este tipo histológico, con recidiva extensa que requirió cirugía radical y reconstrucción con doble colgajo libre, y que a pesar de obtener márgenes negativos, presenta una nueva y más extensa recidiva, quedando fuera del alcance quirúrgico y falleciendo 11 meses luego de la última cirugía.

We report a female consulting for a lump in the posteroinferior portion of the mouth with a foul smelling discharge. A partial jaw excision is performed and pathology reported a follicular ameloblastoma. A post-operative CAT se an showed a mass in the operated jaw angle. The patient was lost from control and returned three years later with a large mass. A radical excision was performed. There was a tumor relapse and the patient died 11 months after the last surgery.
