APONTAMENTOS PARA O USO DE PERIODICOS NÃO-ACADÊMICOS EM SALA DE AULA A FIM DE SE PERCEBER A TRANSFORMAÇÃO DA/NA PAISAGEM ATRAVÉS DE EVENTOS CLIMATICOS EXTREMOS

O clima sempre foi uma questão de interesse ao ser humano. Primeiro, por ser capaz de condicionar as ações humanas em determinados locais. O presente trabalho visa primariamente estabelecer apontamentos para o entendimento da paisagem e sua relação com o clima, por meio de eventos climáticos extremos que a transformam repentinamente. Em seguida fornecer aportes ao ensino de climatologia de modo que facilite o entendimento dos conteúdos de sala pelo aluno de forma mais concisa, tal tarefa se torna viável pelo fato de que o uso de jornais locais ou reportagens trás ao aluno uma conexão com a realidade. Por se tratar de fatos que os alunos têm algum conhecimento prévio, fica mais fácil de trabalhar tais conteúdos os alunos já tem uma opinião a respeito mesmo que superficial, mas é uma opinião que poderá suscitar o debate em sala tornando a aula mais dinâmica. Neste sentido o material para analíse deste trabalho são os periódicos não acadêmicos que por não ter uma linguagem estritamente culta, mas sim uma linguagem que transita entre a norma culta e a coloquial, tem-se uma maior acessibilidade de seus conteúdos e desse modo podendo ser trabalhado em diversas turmas. Assim o principal objetivo do trabalho é buscar dentro destes periódicos conceitos que possam ser trabalhados em sala de aula

ANÁLISE PRELIMINAR DO SÍTIO DE DUAS PEQUENAS CIDADES DA ZONA DA MATA MINEIRA: UMA CONTRIBUIÇÃO AOS ESTUDOS DE CLIMA URBANO

Locais de significativas variações de altitude, relevo formado por fundos de vales, colinas e encostas,tornam os estudos de clima urbano singulares e desafiadores, pois evidenciam sítios marcados porirregularidades topográficas. Busca-se com o presente trabalho verificar de forma comparativa ainfluência do sítio no clima das cidades de Teixeiras e Viçosa, ambas de pequeno porte, localizadas naZona da Mata Mineira. Foram feitas medições de temperatura e umidade relativa do arsimultaneamente nas duas cidades, nos horários de 9, 12, 15, 18 e 21 horas, nos dias 20 e 21 de agostode 2011 (episódios de inverno), 04 e 05 de fevereiro de 2012 (episódios de verão). Viçosa possui59732 habitantes a mais que Teixeiras, assim como maior verticalização, área urbanizada, número deautomóveis. No entanto, as medições realizadas mostram que tais fatores não geram diferençastermohigrométricas significadamente expressivas entre as duas cidades em escala topoclimática, vistoque os registros feitos em ambas foram semelhantes, o que sugere uma influência equivalente do sítioem seus climas

Culicidae (Diptera: Culicomorpha) in the southern Brazilian collection "Ana Leuch Lozovei" with notes on distribution and diversity

Biological collections are of extreme importance in acquiring knowledge of the biodiversity of a specific environment. In this article, we organise, list and catalogue the adult specimens belonging to the family Culicidae housed in the Parasitology Collection of the Basic Pathology Department at the Federal University of Paraná, southern Brazil. To this end, a data bank was created, containing information on the taxonomy and collecting of each sample. The culicids were collected using different methodologies in 18 municipalities in the state of Paraná, between 1967 and 1999. There are 5,739 catalogued specimens of which 4,704 (81.96%) are identified at a specific level, with a diversity of 205 species. Of these, 18 are new recorded samples for the state of Paraná and 3 for Brazil. This being the case, we propose, in honour of the 30 years dedicated to the study of culicids in the state of Paraná, the creation of the Ana Leuch Lozovei Entomological Collection, which is composed of insect vectors or potential vectors, of agents that cause diseases in humans.&nbsp

Global respiratory syncytial virus–related infant community deaths

Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of pediatric death, with >99% of mortality occurring in low- and lower middle-income countries. At least half of RSV-related deaths are estimated to occur in the community, but clinical characteristics of this group of children remain poorly characterized. Methods The RSV Global Online Mortality Database (RSV GOLD), a global registry of under-5 children who have died with RSV-related illness, describes clinical characteristics of children dying of RSV through global data sharing. RSV GOLD acts as a collaborative platform for global deaths, including community mortality studies described in this supplement. We aimed to compare the age distribution of infant deaths <6 months occurring in the community with in-hospital. Results We studied 829 RSV-related deaths <1 year of age from 38 developing countries, including 166 community deaths from 12 countries. There were 629 deaths that occurred <6 months, of which 156 (25%) occurred in the community. Among infants who died before 6 months of age, median age at death in the community (1.5 months; IQR: 0.8−3.3) was lower than in-hospital (2.4 months; IQR: 1.5−4.0; P < .0001). The proportion of neonatal deaths was higher in the community (29%, 46/156) than in-hospital (12%, 57/473, P < 0.0001). Conclusions We observed that children in the community die at a younger age. We expect that maternal vaccination or immunoprophylaxis against RSV will have a larger impact on RSV-related mortality in the community than in-hospital. This case series of RSV-related community deaths, made possible through global data sharing, allowed us to assess the potential impact of future RSV vaccines

Search for dark mesons decaying to top and bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search for dark mesons originating from strongly-coupled, SU(2) dark favor symmetry conserving models and decaying gaugephobically to pure Standard Model final states containing top and bottom quarks is presented. The search targets fully hadronic final states and final states with exactly one electron or muon and multiple jets. The analyzed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions collected at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess over the Standard Model background expectation is observed and the results are used to set the first direct constraints on this type of model. The two-dimensional signal space of dark pion masses mπD and dark rho-meson masses mρD is scanned. For mπD /mρD = 0.45, dark pions with masses mπD < 940 GeV are excluded at the 95% CL, while for mπD /mρD = 0.25 masses mπD < 740 GeV are excluded

Combination of searches for Higgs boson decays into a photon and a massless dark photon using pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A combination of searches for Higgs boson decays into a visible photon and a massless dark photon (H → γγd) is presented using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit on the Standard Model Higgs boson decay branching ratio is determined to be B(H → γγd) < 1.3% (1.5)%. The search is also sensitive to higher-mass Higgs bosons decaying into the same final state. The observed (expected) 95% confidence level limit on the cross-section times branching ratio ranges from 16 fb (20 fb) for mH = 400 GeV to 1.0 fb (1.5 fb) for mH = 3 TeV. Results are also interpreted in the context of a minimal simplified model

Search for decays of the Higgs boson into a pair of pseudoscalar particles decaying into bb¯τ+τ− using pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This paper presents a search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson into a pair of new pseudoscalar particles, H → aa, where one pseudoscalar decays into a b-quark pair and the other decays into a τ-lepton pair, in the mass range 12 ≤ ma ≤ 60 GeV. The analysis uses pp collision data at √s = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. No significant excess above the Standard Model (SM) prediction is observed. Assuming the SM Higgs boson production cross section, the search sets upper limits at 95% confidence level on the branching ratio of Higgs bosons decaying into bb¯ τ+τ−, B(H → aa → bb¯ τ+τ−), between 2.2% and 3.9% depending on the pseudoscalar mass

Combination of searches for Higgs boson pair production in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This Letter presents results from a combination of searches for Higgs boson pair production using 126–140 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at √s = 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector. At 95% confidence level (CL), the upper limit on the production rate is 2.9 times the standard model (SM) prediction, with an expected limit of 2.4 assuming no Higgs boson pair production. Constraints on the Higgs boson self-coupling modifier κλ = λHHH=λSM HHH, and the quartic HHVV coupling modifier κ2V = gHHVV=gSM HHVV, are derived individually, fixing the other parameter to its SM value. The observed 95% CL intervals are −1.2 &lt; κλ &lt; 7.2 and 0.6 &lt; κ2V &lt; 1.5, respectively, while the expected intervals are −1.6 &lt; κλ &lt; 7.2 and 0.4 &lt; κ2V &lt; 1.6 in the SM case. Constraints obtained for several interaction parameters within Higgs effective field theory are the strongest to date, offering insights into potential deviations from SM predictions
