Estudos epidemiológicos apontam para um crescimento mundial de casos novos de câncer cutâneo, superando até mesmo o câncer de pulmão, próstata e mama. Atribui-se esse aumento à degradação do Ozônio estratosférico (O3) e a intensidade da RUV que atinge a superfície terrestre. Diante do exposto, este trabalho pautou-se no estudo da variabilidade temporal do O3, coletado através do sensor TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer) da NASA, para se determinar o grau de influência na intensidade da RUV na região Oeste do Estado de São Paulo. Para análise da variabilidade da RUV, utilizou-se o Índice UV (IUV), que determina a intensidade da RUV na superfície terrestre. Também foi elaborado um Banco de Dados de câncer de pele diagnosticados dentro da área de estudo, para se determinar o perfil epidemiológico dessa enfermidade. Os dados de câncer de pele foram obtidos em três laboratórios que realizam exames anatomopatológicos. Através do método investigativo, por meio de aplicação de questionários, procurou-se também, identificar o comportamento da população em relação aos hábitos de exposição ao sol para se determinar possíveis grupos de risco. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o O3 apresentou comportamento cíclico em decorrência das estações do ano, com maiores valores na primavera e menores no outono, com média anual em torno de 264 UD. / The longstanding and frequent exposures to the ultraviolet radiation (UVR) are considered the main etiological agent in developing skin cancer. Epidemiological studies point at a global growing in the numbers of new skin cancer cases, even surpassing lung, breast and prostate cancers. It is supposed that the increase in the flux of the photobiologically active radiation is due to the stratospheric ozone (O3) depletion. This work was based upon studying time-spatial variation of the stratospheric O3, using data from TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer) sensor from NASA, in order to determinate the degree of influence of UVR over the western region of São Paulo State, Brazil. To perform an analysis of the UVR variability it was used the UV Index (UVI), a dimensionless parameter, which define the UVR intensity over de earth surface. As contribution to the public polices programs for health, looking for skin cancer prevention, a data bank of new cases of skin cancer was created, with the cases registered in the study area, in order to define the epidemiological profile of this disease. Skin cancer data were extracted from anatomy-pathological biopsies reports collected in three laboratories in Presidente Prudente, SP, Brazil. By means of the investigative method applying questionnaires, it looked for identify the population behavior related to the sun exposure habits in order to determine potential risks groups. Results had shown that stratospheric ozone over the study area presents a cyclic behavior because of the seasons of the year, with higher values in Spring and lower in Fall, with annual average about 264 UD.

Desta maneira, torna-se de fundamental importância a busca por terapias alternativas, entre elas, a terapia fotodinâmica, como a associação da luz ultravioleta (UV) e riboflavina, com o objetivo de controlar a enfermidade. Este estudo objetivou verificar a eficácia do tratamento com luz UV e riboflavina para inativar ou eliminar a B. anserina no soro de galinhas poedeiras, por meio de exames diagnósticos e laboratoriais, e verificar a resposta imunológica do hospedeiro. O experimento foi conduzido em duas etapas, a etapa in vivo foi formada por 42 galinhas, divididas em sete grupos, composto por seis aves: Grupo 1 (saúde); Grupo 2 (doença) inoculadas com soro parasitado por B. anserina; Grupo 3 (imunossupressor) que receberam metilprednisolona; Grupo 4 ( luz UV) que receberam soro parasitado tratado com luz UV; Grupo 5 (riboflavina) que receberam soro parasitado tratado com riboflavina; Grupo 6 (grupo veículo) que receberam soro parasitado tratado com cloreto de sódio 0,9%; Grupo 7 (tratado) que receberam soro positivo para B. anserina tratado com luz ultravioleta associada à riboflavina. A etapa in vitro, foi realizada com placas de cultivo celular, divididas igualmente à etapa in vivo. Foi possível observar que o tratamento não apresentou resultado esperado na inativação ou completa eliminação do agente. No entanto, uma ave do grupo tratado sobreviveu e apresentou recuperação clínica e laboratorial, apresentando espiroquetemia no Momento 11 e qPCR positivo no momento... / Avian borreliosis is an acute septicemic disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia anserina, has a low incidence, however due to the growth of organic and rustic creations, greater concern for animal welfare and reducing the use of antibiotics in feed, there is concern about the emergence of disease outbreaks, which may cause economic losses. Thus, it becomes fundamental to search for alternative therapies, including, photodynamic therapy, such as the combination of ultraviolet (UV) light and riboflavin with the aim of controlling the disease. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of treatment with riboflavin and UV light to inactivate or eliminate B. anserina from serum laying hens by diagnostic and laboratory tests and to check to the host immune response. The experiment was conducted in two stages. The first one was the in vivo step composed of 42 chickens, divided into seven groups of six birds: Group 1 (health); Group 2 (disease) inoculated with the serum parasitized by Borrelia anserina; Group 3 (immunosuppressant) receiving methylprednisolone; Group 4 (UV light) which received parasitized saline treated with UV light; Group 5 (riboflavin) which received parasitized serum treated with riboflavin; Group 6 (solvent group) parasitized receiving saline treated with 0.9% sodium chloride; Group 7 (treated) which received positive serum for B. anserina treated with ultraviolet light associated with riboflavin. The secund one was the in vitro stage performed with cell culture plates, equally divided in vivo step. It was observed that the treatment did not show expected results in the inactivation or complete elimination of the agent. However, one bird from the treated group survived and showed clinical and laboratory recovery, presenting spirochetemia at the time 11 and qPCR positive at the time... / FAPESP: 2014/03353-4

abstract: A thorough exploration of star formation necessitates observation across the electromagnetic spectrum. In particular, observations in the submillimeter and ultra-violet allow one to observe very early stage star formation and to trace the evolution from molecular cloud collapse to stellar ignition. Submillimeter observations are essential for piercing the heart of heavily obscured stellar nurseries to observe star formation in its infancy. Ultra-violet observations allow one to observe stars just after they emerge from their surrounding environment, allowing higher energy radiation to escape. To make detailed observations of early stage star formation in both spectral regimes requires state-of-the-art detector technology and instrumentation. In this dissertation, I discuss the calibration and feasibility of detectors developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and specially processed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to increase their quantum efficiency at far-ultraviolet wavelengths. A cursory treatment of the delta-doping process is presented, followed by a thorough discussion of calibration procedures developed at JPL and in the Laboratory for Astronomical and Space Instrumentation at ASU. Subsequent discussion turns to a novel design for a Modular Imager Cell forming one possible basis for construction of future large focal plane arrays. I then discuss the design, fabrication, and calibration of a sounding rocket imaging system developed using the MIC and these specially processed detectors. Finally, I discuss one scientific application of sub-mm observations. I used data from the Heinrich Hertz Sub-millimeter Telescope and the Sub-Millimeter Array (SMA) to observe sub-millimeter transitions and continuum emission towards AFGL 2591. I tested the use of vibrationally excited HCN emission to probe the protostellar accretion disk structure. I measured vibrationally excited HCN line ratios in order to elucidate the appropriate excitation mechanism. I find collisional excitation to be dominant, showing the emission originates in extremely dense (n&sim10;11 cm-3), warm (T&sim1000; K) gas. Furthermore, from the line profile of the v=(0, 22d, 0) transition, I find evidence for a possible accretion disk. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Physics 2012

A grande maioria das infecções causadas em ambientes médicos-odontológicas é proveniente de contaminações cruzadas, quando se tem contato entre diferentes instrumentos e /ou aparelhos contaminados após procedimentos médicos. Atualmente o padrão aceito e amplamente utilizado para esterilização de instrumental são os equipamentos chamados de autoclaves, em que é reconhecido e aceito pelos órgãos legisladores. Porém alguns tipos de instrumental e material não podem ser esterilizados utilizando este método tendo uma outra vertente que é aplicação de agentes químicos. Esses criam problemas socioambientais relacionados a sua utilização e descarte. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver uma autoclave multifuncional com a utilização de gás ozônio, ultravioleta e calor úmido, em que se testou e analisou microbiológica os protocolos de esterilização, obtendo entendimento e otimização do mesmo. Os resultados mostraram-nos que a configuração desenvolvida atingiu aspectos de esterilidade nos protocolos de esterilização avaliados. Entretanto tem a necessidade de aprofundar estudos aplicando o baixo vácuo para o entendimento quanto a utilização quanto os protocolos do funcionamento e uma futura otimização para produção em larga escala. / Most of infection in the medical-dental office is prevenient of cross-contamination, when have the contact with different instrumental and materials without basic control after the process and contact on patient. This point have the standard protocol was accept and described in literature, its utilizing for instrumental sterilizing is the autoclave, it is recognized by organs legislators. However, some instrumental and materials not be accept in this method, on this is necessary one method second in this case is chemical on the instrumentation, but created environmental problem in relation its application.
