Levantamento preliminar de plantas apícolas no Herbário IAN.

Com o objetivo de apresentar uma lista das plantas apícolas no estado do Pará, realizou-se no período de abril a junho de 2013 o levantamento de plantas apícolas pertencentes ao acervo do Herbário IAN. De forma preliminar, foram selecionados os registros tombados das espécies consideradas como plantas apícolas pela bibliografia utilizada ou que continham a observação de que foram visitadas por abelhas. Essas exsicatas foram separadas para compor a seção de plantas apícolas do herbário. Posteriormente, esse estudo incluirá plantas coletadas em que forem visualizadas abelhas, indicadas pelos produtores locais como plantas apícolas ou aquelas identificadas por meio de análise palinológica. Foram encontradas 303 espécies de plantas consideradas apícolas, que estão distribuídas em 80 famílias, dentre as quais Leguminosae, Euphorbiaceae, Malvaceae e Convolvulaceae foram as que apresentaram maior riqueza de espécies

Seroepidemiological survey of transmissible infectious diseases in a portuguese prison establishment

A cross-sectional study was conducted in 151 (71.6%) of 211 male inmates of a regional Portuguese prison in order to establish the seroprevalence for viral hepatitis (HAV, HBV, HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis and herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and to analyze some psychosocial and criminal characteristics. Mean age was 34 years. Anti-HAV was positive in 69.5% (n = 105) and in 34.4% (n = 52) for anti-HCV. One (0.7%) person had HBsAg and 29 (19.2%) had laboratory markers of past HBV infection. Non-immune inmates for HBV were 40.4% (n = 61). Syphilis was diagnosed in 6.0% (n = 9). The rate of HIV infection was 6.6% (n = 10; all HIV-1). The seropositivity of HSV-2 was 19.9% (n = 30) and of HSV-1 was 82.1% (n = 124). Alcohol dependence was reported by 26.5% (n = 40). Excluding tobacco and prescription medication, 73.5% (n = 111) reported drug use in prison. The most commonly used drugs were: cannabis (100%; n = 111) followed by heroin (56.7%; n = 63). Anti-HCV rate was noteworthy. The HIV infection rate (6.6%) in this regional prison is at least 13 to 22 times greater than in general population. As the inmate return to the community increases the risk of disease exposure for the general population, early detection and counseling is urgently needed for prisoners

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF AN ADHOC WIRELESS NETWORK IN A TYPICAL SCENERIO OF AN AMAZONIAN AREA (REGIONS IN AMAZON)

ABSTRACT This paper aims at verifying the viability of the application of an ad-hoc network for medical services rendered in a typical scenery of an Amazonian area. It had been evaluated the performance of an ad-hoc net considering the current technology. Four routing protocols (DSR, LOG, AODV and DSDV) were used and two radio propagation models (Two-ray Ground and Shadowing) were tested. Furthermore, two transport protocols (TCP -Transmission Control Protocol and UDP -User Datagram Protocol) were involved in the process. The analysis was made by means of simulation using the Network Simulator. Throughput, delay, blocking probability, number of established connections and scalability were the performance measures used
