Utilização de óleo essencial de noni no controle fitossanitário de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides em plantas de Mangifera indica

The use of essential oils in agriculture as botanical insecticides has been used as an option in the control of diseases and pests, with the least possible impact on the ecosystem. Anthracnose is the main disease in mango culture, and can cause damage to fruit productivity and quality. The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of noni essential oil (Morinda citrifolia L.) in the control of phytopathogens in plants of Mangifera indica. From the isolation of lesions of mango plants, the phytopathogenic fungus was obtained. The essential oil was removed from ripe noni fruits. In vitro bioassays were performed by testing different concentrations of essential oil. For the phytotoxicity test, five different concentrations of essential oil were used. The preventive control test was installed by applying by means of a manual spray. The curative test was also performed. The essential oil of noni showed an inhibitative effect on the growth of the fungus C. gloeosporioides in vitro. Phytotoxicity symptoms were observed in mango leaves at noni oil doses greater than 1.5%. The preventive application was more efficient than the curative for the control of anthracnose in mango plants.O uso de óleos essenciais na agricultura como inseticidas botânicos, tem sido usado como uma opção no controle de doenças e pragas, com menor impacto possível sobre o ecossistema.

ACEITABILIDADE DO USO DE ÁGUA DA CHUVA POR MORADORES DE CONJUNTOS HABITACIONAIS DA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE BELÉM

The aim of this study was to investigate the acceptability of rainwater use by residents of housing estates in Belém and Ananindeua, Pará, Brazil, and to verify the existence of Rainwater Utilization System - SAAC, in these locations. The survey was conducted with 160 residents of the Gleba 1, Jardim Tropical and Residential Jardim Universitário housing estates, most of whom stated that they would accept rainwater in their homes, mainly for general use. Only 23.1% them reported that they could use for human consumption. None of the studied sets there are SAAC for collective use, but in the Jardim Tropical, a family-owned SAAC was identified in a residence. Good acceptability for rainwater among residents of residential condominiums in Belém and Ananindeua is considered to be a major factor in the implementation of SAACs in these types of enterprise, both for family and collective use. KEYWORDS: Rainwater, Alternative water source, Belém Metropolitan Region.  El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la aceptabilidad del uso del agua de lluvia por parte de los residentes de las urbanizaciones en Belém y Ananindeua, Pará, Brasil, y verificar la existencia del Sistema de Utilización del Agua de Lluvia - SAAC, en estos lugares.

POTENCIALIDADES DO EXTRATO PIROLENHOSO: PRÁTICAS DE CARACTERIZAÇÃO

The use of fossil primary energy sources has remained stable in the world with no prospect of change scenarios. Charcoal is one of these sources. The burning of wood for obtaining its coal emits into the atmosphere components that, once obtained  through simple processes, enable significant commercial exploitation with great potential for expanding its use. The objective of this study was to characterize the early practices pirolenhoso extract by fractional distillation in Multidisciplinary Laboratory Waste Management IFRJ campus in Duque de Caxias. For the tests sampled a mass of 300g of crude extract and calculated your income after the distillation process. Was quantified mass tar (heavy phase), pirolenhoso fluid (lighter phase with all its composites) and loss in the process. Stoichiometric comparisons showed, though with little variability in the results, an average trend yield of approximately 64% of the samples with pirolenhoso liquid. 30% of distilled material was characterized as tar. Regarding losses in the process, the perceived average was 6% for the five samples.O uso de fontes fósseis de energia primária tem se mantido estável no mundo, sem perspectivas de mudanças de cenários.

2 nd Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease, 2015

Abstract Chagas disease is a neglected chronic condition with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. It has considerable psychological, social, and economic impacts. The disease represents a significant public health issue in Brazil, with different regional patterns. This document presents the evidence that resulted in the Brazilian Consensus on Chagas Disease. The objective was to review and standardize strategies for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of Chagas disease in the country, based on the available scientific evidence. The consensus is based on the articulation and strategic contribution of renowned Brazilian experts with knowledge and experience on various aspects of the disease. It is the result of a close collaboration between the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine and the Ministry of Health. It is hoped that this document will strengthen the development of integrated actions against Chagas disease in the country, focusing on epidemiology, management, comprehensive care (including families and communities), communication, information, education, and research

Multidifferential study of identified charged hadron distributions in ZZ-tagged jets in proton-proton collisions at s=\sqrt{s}=13 TeV

Jet fragmentation functions are measured for the first time in proton-proton collisions for charged pions, kaons, and protons within jets recoiling against a $Z$ boson. The charged-hadron distributions are studied longitudinally and transversely to the jet direction for jets with transverse momentum 20 $< p_{\textrm{T}} < 100$ GeV and in the pseudorapidity range $2.5 < \eta < 4$. The data sample was collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.64 fb$^{-1}$. Triple differential distributions as a function of the hadron longitudinal momentum fraction, hadron transverse momentum, and jet transverse momentum are also measured for the first time. This helps constrain transverse-momentum-dependent fragmentation functions. Differences in the shapes and magnitudes of the measured distributions for the different hadron species provide insights into the hadronization process for jets predominantly initiated by light quarks.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-013.html (LHCb public pages

Study of the B−→Λc+Λˉc−K−B^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-} decay

The decay $B^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-}$ is studied in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. In the $\Lambda_{c}^+ K^{-}$ system, the $\Xi_{c}(2930)^{0}$ state observed at the BaBar and Belle experiments is resolved into two narrower states, $\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}$ and $\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}$, whose masses and widths are measured to be $$m(\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}) = 2924.5 \pm 0.4 \pm 1.1 \,\mathrm{MeV}, \\ m(\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}) = 2938.5 \pm 0.9 \pm 2.3 \,\mathrm{MeV}, \\ \Gamma(\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}) = \phantom{000}4.8 \pm 0.9 \pm 1.5 \,\mathrm{MeV},\\ \Gamma(\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}) = \phantom{00}11.0 \pm 1.9 \pm 7.5 \,\mathrm{MeV},$$ where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The results are consistent with a previous LHCb measurement using a prompt $\Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-}$ sample. Evidence of a new $\Xi_{c}(2880)^{0}$ state is found with a local significance of $3.8\,\sigma$, whose mass and width are measured to be $2881.8 \pm 3.1 \pm 8.5\,\mathrm{MeV}$ and $12.4 \pm 5.3 \pm 5.8 \,\mathrm{MeV}$, respectively. In addition, evidence of a new decay mode $\Xi_{c}(2790)^{0} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-}$ is found with a significance of $3.7\,\sigma$. The relative branching fraction of $B^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-}$ with respect to the $B^{-} \to D^{+} D^{-} K^{-}$ decay is measured to be $2.36 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.22 \pm 0.25$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third originates from the branching fractions of charm hadron decays.Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-028.html (LHCb public pages

Measurement of the ratios of branching fractions R(D∗)\mathcal{R}(D^{*}) and R(D0)\mathcal{R}(D^{0})

The ratios of branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(D^{*})\equiv\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu})$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^{0})\equiv\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu})$ are measured, assuming isospin symmetry, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0 fb${ }^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The tau lepton is identified in the decay mode $\tau^{-}\to\mu^{-}\nu_{\tau}\bar{\nu}_{\mu}$. The measured values are $\mathcal{R}(D^{*})=0.281\pm0.018\pm0.024$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^{0})=0.441\pm0.060\pm0.066$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The correlation between these measurements is $\rho=-0.43$. Results are consistent with the current average of these quantities and are at a combined 1.9 standard deviations from the predictions based on lepton flavor universality in the Standard Model.Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-039.html (LHCb public pages
