Building national people-centered early warning systems(EWS) is strongly recommended by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction(UNISDR). Most of the scientific literature is critical of the conventional view of EWS as a linear model with a topdown approach, in which technological features are given more attention than human factors. It is argued that EWS should be people-centered, and used for risk prevention,with an emphasis on resilience, rather than only being triggered when a hazard occurs. However, both the UNISDR and the literature fail to say how a people-centered EWS should be built, and what steps are needed to put EWS into effect. This article examines the obstacles and measures required to promote people-centered EWS,with a focus on the situation in Brazil. After assessing the institutional vulnerability of EWS, we analyze some measures that can be taken to reduce institutional vulnerability,based on experiences with a participatory citizen science educational project that involved high school *** guidelines are developed for adopting a bottom-up approach towards achieving the four elements of EWS—risk knowledge, monitoring, communication of warnings,and response capability—with the help of school curricula.

This research work relates the surface of a square and the area circumscribed by a circle, resulting in a value called Nikola Tesla constant. This constant starts with the calculation of the areas of the square and the inscribed circle, giving a ratio of 9/40 and from which a residual area of the area proportions of the geometric figures described is obtained. Plotting smooth curves, particularly those in round shapes, can be represented efficiently with the use of Nikola Tesla constant, reducing complex mathematical calculus.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is grown throughout the winter time in Southern Brazil and turns out to be the main agricultural crop at such a year season in the State of Paraná. However, throughout the crop growing season foliar diseases significantly compromise commercial yields in such a manner as to justify the application of fungicides at the right time to control foliar diseases in production fields. The aim of the current manuscript was to assess the impact of different timings for fungicide application (epoxiconazole + pyraclostrobin) on the control of leaf rust (Puccinia triticina E.) and yellow spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis) diseases in two wheat genotypes featured by distinct levels of susceptibility in Southern Brazil. A field trial was conducted in Ponta Grossa, State of Paraná, Brazil, in light of split plot statistical design at an experimental area belonging to CESCAGE. The following treatments were imposed in the current study: control (with no sprays);sprays at the first node, booting and heading;sprays at stem extension and flowering;sprays at booting and heading. Throughout the entire crop growing season, the control treatment was conducive to the highest severity levels for both diseases. The increasing of the area under the diseases progress curve assessed herein substantially impinged upon yield components of both wheat genotypes under scrutiny. In general, fungicide sprays at the first node did not culminate in economical advantages. The best timing for fungicide application was the one ascribed to booting and heading stages.

鉴于当前气候变化和人类活动的影响,生物多样性的空间预测对其保护和修复至关重要。本文将不同堆叠物种分布模型(stacked species distribution models,S-SDMs)的预测结果与森林清查数据进行了比较,以评估这些S-SDMs模型能否捕获生物多样性热点地区物种丰富度的新特性和地理分布及局部群落的组成。我们选取大西洋沿岸森林151处地点的1499个树种进行SDM模型构建,并利用4种模型堆叠方法重建植物群落。这43种方法分别为二进制SDM模型(bS-SDM)、由最小凸多边形裁剪得到的二进制SDM模型(bS-SDM-CROP)、受物种丰富度观测结果约束的堆叠SDM模型(cS-SDM)以及物种出现点的最小凸多边形(MCP)。我们从物种丰富度、组成、群落预测指标以及β多样性组分(物种嵌套和物种周转)等方面将各堆叠方法与局部群落进行对比。研究结果表明,所有S-SDM模型均捕获到了一般分布格局,其中bS-SDM-CROP模型最为简约。各堆叠模型预测得到的物种组成与局部群落的实际情况存在一定的差异,其中bS-SDM、bS-SDM-CROP和MCP模型呈现出嵌套格局,而物种周转在cS-SDM模型中最为显著。这些S-SDM模型在性能、遗漏率和记账错率方面的表现各不相同,对一些脆弱、濒危和极度濒危物种给出了错误预测。尽管与森林清查数据有差别,但这些S-SDM模型均捕获了与局部群落数据的部分差异,可以表征物种的潜在分布区。本研究的结论有助于S-SDM模型在粗尺度生物多样性整合与保护规划中的应用,但在生物高度多样性地区局部尺度上可能会得出错误的预测结果。

Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD) is a rare condition and has various differential diagnoses with other forms of histiocytosis, classified as one of non-Langerhans histiocytosis. The diagnosis of this condition remains challenging because its presentation includes non-specific systemic manifestations that can affect different organs caused by deposition of lipids and fibrosis. Most common include bone pain followed by progressive weakness and different lung manifestations. This case is about a rare presentation of ECD with Langerhans Histiocytosis as overlap syndrome, with findings of both diseases in a middle aged woman that presented dyspnea as the first symptom. The patient was treated initially as heart failure and remained without any improvement, being admitted to investigate. After a stricted follow-up, bone and lung involvement were noticed and a skin biopsy unveiled xanthomatized macrophages accompanied by Touton giant cells. This condition remains an important clinical entity and should provide new insights for clinicians dealing with respiratory diseases.

Fagopyrum esculentum Moench (buckwheat) is a dicot species from the Polygonaceae family used as a cover crop in agricultural systems featured with a remarkable allelopathic potential for weed control, helping herbicide-resistance management and promoting substantial reductions in herbicide applications. The aim of this research was to examine the allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts from seeds and aerial part of buckwheat on seed germination and initial development of Bidens pilosa and Euphorbia heterophylla. Bioassay experiments were conducted under a completely randomized experimental design with four replications, containing 50 seeds each. Both weed seed species were harvested in a soybean field, and seed viability was previously assessed. Seeds were exposed to four concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 100%) from extracts of seeds (ES) and aerial part (EAP) of buckwheat. Germination speed index (GSI) in B. pilosa and E. heterophylla was daily evaluated throughout 14 and 16 days, respectively, whereas percentage of germination, abnormal seedlings, as well as non-germinated seeds, root (RL) and aerial part length (APL), and total dry matter (TDM) were rated at final germination test. EAP reduced the GSI, especially under the 100% concentration. Germination percentage was lower and abnormal seedlings increased for both weed species when seeds were exposed to EAP concentrations greater than 25%. However, ES did not impinge upon E. heterophylla germination. EAP and ES reduced the APL, RL, and TDM for concentrations greater than 50%, except for ES which did not affect E. heterophylla development. Both extracts from buckwheat have a high capacity to inhibit germination and compromise seedling development, culminating in such a potential alternative for B. pilosa and E. heterophylla management in agricultural systems.
