O artigo apresenta um método criado no âmbito da Biblioteca Central da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul para a avaliação de acervos de livros que subsidiam as atividades de ensino de graduação. Descreve a fase de montagem do sistema de informações necessário para a elaboração do relatório de avaliação dos acervos. E, por fim, apresenta como os dados do relatório são congregados numa fórmula proposta com a finalidade de distribuir recursos para compra de livros de graduação entre as unidades do sistema de bibliotecas.

O sarcoma de Ewing e o tumor de Triton representam dois tumores ósseos raros da calota craniana, os quais possuem clínica e aspecto imagenológico inespecíficos. Entretanto, os métodos de imagem são importantes para a detecção das lesões durante a investigação diagnóstica, para a avaliação da extensão das lesões ósseas, do possível acometimento de partes moles e do parênquima encefálico, e avaliação de recorrência local e/ou metástases a distância. A confirmação diagnóstica é determinada pela histologia e auxiliada pela imuno-histoquímica. Os autores relatam dois casos desses tumores e seus achados pelos métodos de imagem.

This work evidences a survey conducted during a teacher professional qualification in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This survey analysed the textbooks used by these teachers. The dynamics consisted of choosing the analytic criteria used by teachers, and adding new criteria for examining their difficulties and ways to choose textbooks. This article emphasises the problematics and difficulties teachers have to make choices and their loss of skills and authority to consider these books more profoundly.

Despite of being used as thermodynamic criterion to rank alkene stability in a number of undergraduate textbooks, the heat of hydrogenation does not describe adequately the relative stability of disubstituted alkenes. In this work, both the heat of formation and the heat of combustion were used as thermodynamic criteria to rank correctly the stability of alkenes according to the degree of alkyl substitution and also in the disubstituted series (geminal > trans > cis). An operational model based on molecular orbital and valence bond representations of hyperconjugation is proposed to show how this effect can explain the order of stability of this class of compounds.

The results of an exercise on electrochemistry for General Chemistry students are presented. The difficulty encountered by students in predicting the shift in the potential of the hydrogen electrode under non-standard conditions prompted a search in textbooks on how the subject is developed. Besides several instances of inconsistencies in defining the standard state, such as including the temperature in the definition, a number of incorrect depictions of the hydrogen electrode were discovered. Of the 28 General Chemistry books, 16 Physical Chemistry books and 24 Internet pages, 30, 20 and 46%, respectively, showed devices that would not work in practice.

This paper aims at analyzing the history of science content of three general chemistry textbooks used in Brazilian universities: the translations of Kotz and Treichel's Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity, Atkins and Jones's Chemical Principles, and Garritz and Chamizo's Química. Results revealed different trends for the inclusion of history of science in chemistry teaching. Kotz & Treichel and Atkins & Jones used history mainly as curiosity and ornament. Garritz & Chamizo adopted the historical approach as one of the organizing axis of their textbook. Nevertheless, the historical content of the three textbooks may be criticized from current historiographical standpoint.

This paper deals with the Brazilian textbooks of Chemistry from the XIX century to 1930. After presenting the science and its teaching contexts in Imperial Brazil and describing the first Chemistry textbook written by a Brazilian, the state of knowledge about these prime Brazilian books is presented. These works show the texts had strengths overlooked by current materials, a fact confirmed by analyzing textbooks from three authors from the period. The study concludes by compiling a list of 50 titles of early Chemistry books to help guide future research.

The aim of this paper was to analyze the historical approaches to the periodic table in general chemistry textbooks used in Brazilian universities in the twentieth century. Textbooks were qualitatively analyzed according to the following criteria: position of the discussion about the periodic table in the book; presence or absence of a specific chapter on the subject; presentation of attempts to classify chemical elements before Mendeleev; presentation of the construction process of the periodic table by Mendeleev; identification of problems in the original table; discussion of Mendeleev's predictions about unknown elements; organization of the periodic table; periodic properties presented and discussed; and the enunciation of the periodic law. The analysis revealed different approaches at specific periods of the twentieth century, from more descriptive approaches to emphasis on attempts to explain the periodic table in terms of atomic orbitals. These changes point to different ways of understanding chemistry during the period studied.

CCarcinoma de pequenas células dos seios paranasais são tumores extremamente raros e agressivos. Apesar de os pulmões serem o sítio mais prevalente destes tumores, este trabalho enfoca o acometimento de um sitio extrapulmonar, os seios paranasais. Nós relatamos o caso de uma paciente com carcinoma de pequenas células primário do seio maxilar. Incluímos neste estudo uma discussão acerca de todos os casos relatados em literatura, abrangendo suas metástases, tratamento e expectativa de vida.
