    Pandemics reverberated their times, changing social and economic contexts, prompting, and redirecting changes in social ties, business, and education, restructuring the world that generated them. In this context, this study aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global energy matrix, supported by an analysis of consumption, demand, and GDP from January 2019 to June 2021. The energy balance showed variations in this period, with impacts on the environment. We will assess whether the changes will be lasting.

    Effects of ionizing radiation decontamination on botanical collections in herbaria
    2023 - LIMA, LENI M.P.R.; KODAMA, YASKO; BAITELLO, JOAO B.; OTUBO, LARISSA; SANTOS, PAULO de S.; VASQUEZ, PABLO A.S.
    Herbaria collections are very sensitive to attacks from microorganisms and insects. Therefore, preservation strategies and appropriate treatments are essential to manage these artifacts. Decontamination by ionizing radiation has become an effective strategy to preserve cultural heritage objects and archived materials, achieving excellent results. Therefore, this work aimed to study the effects of Co-60 gamma radiation on botanical collections. To accomplish this, samples of exsiccates, including botanical pressed and dehydrated specimens from Asteraceae and Solanaceae families, collected on diferentes dates were selected from the Dom Bento José Pickel Herbarium (SPSF), located in São Paulo (Brazil). Irradiation was performed at the Multipurpose Gamma Irradiation Facility at IPEN, applying absorbed doses of 1 kGy, 6 kGy and 10 kGy. Gamma radiation effect was analyzed using colorimetry with CIELAB color space scale, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and attenuated total reflectance with Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. Results showed no significant colorimetric changes, or changes in the morphological properties of samples, indicating that this decontamination method can be used as an alternative treatment to eliminate insects and micro-fungi of botanical collections without the use of toxic substances.

    Utilização da radiação ionizante para a preservação e conservação de amostras botânicas - exsicatas
    2021 - LIMA, LENI M.P.R.
    Estratégias de conservação e preservação são essenciais no gerenciamento de coleções botânicas dos herbários, em especial os exemplares de material vegetal compostos de plantas prensadas e desidratadas em estufas, denominadas exsicatas. Particularmente, essas coleções são muito sensíveis ao ataque de insetos e fungos. Nos últimos anos, a desinfecção por radiação ionizante tornou-se uma estratégia eficaz para preservar objetos do patrimônio cultural e material de acervos com excelentes resultados. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar os efeitos da radiação gama nas amostras de exsicatas irradiadas, determinando a dose absorvida de radiação ideal e segura que promova a descontaminação, sem alterar a estrutura do material. Assim, seis duplicatas de exsicatas foram selecionadas no Herbário Dom Bento José Pickel (SPSF), Instituto Florestal, localizado em São Paulo. Três amostras são da família Asteraceae e foram coletadas em 1946, 1984 e 1986, enquanto outras três amostras pertencem à família Solanaceae e foram obtidas em 1953, 1984 e 2007. As famílias das coleções botânicas selecionadas são muito suscetíveis à biodegradação. A irradiação com raios gama foi realizada no Irradiador Multipropósito de Cobalto-60 do Centro de Tecnologia das Radiações CETER do Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares, IPEN/CNEN em São Paulo, com a aplicação de doses absorvidas de 1 kGy, 6 kGy e 10 kGy, valores para desinfestação e desinfecção. Os efeitos da radiação gama sobre as exsicatas foram analisados por colorimetria com sistema de coordenadas de cores CIELAB, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (FEGSEM) e espectroscopia de infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR-ATR). Os resultados confirmaram que não ocorreram alterações significativas nas propriedades colorimétricas e morfológicas das amostras, nas doses utilizadas, evidenciando que a técnica de radiação ionizante é eficaz para a conservação desse tipo de acervo.

    Energy and covid 19

    Effect of ionizing radiation on the color of botanical collections
    2019 - LIMA, LENI M.P.R.; KODAMA, YASKO; OTUBO, LARISSA; SANTOS, PAULO S.; VASQUEZ, PABLO A.S.
    Conservation and preservation methods are essential to maintain the wholeness of botanical collections specially for dried herbarium specimens also known as exsiccates, usually referring to a set of identified specimens belonging to taxa and distributed among all herbaria around the world. These vegetal materials are subjected to fungal attack and insect pests threatening their entirety. In recent years, disinfection by ionizing radiation has become an effective strategy to preserve cultural heritage objects and archived materials with excellent results. In this work, the effects on color properties of exsiccates samples irradiated with gamma radiation from Co-60 with different absorbed doses were studied. The botanical pressed and dehydrated samples – exsiccates – were selected from the Dom Bento José Pickel Herbarium (SPSF), located at São Paulo (Brazil). Two exsiccate samples were selected: SPSF-4021 and SPSF-08821. These samples come from Asteraceae and Solanaceae family and were collected in 1946 and 1984, respectively. Families of selected botanical collections are very susceptible to biodegradation. The irradiation was performed at the Multipurpose Gamma Irradiation Facility at IPEN applying absorbed doses of 1 kGy, 6 kGy and 10 kGy. The selected ranged dose promotes insect disinfestation and fungal disinfection. Results were analyzed using colorimetry with CIELAB color space scale. Scanning electron microscopy were performed to analyze surface topography and elemental structure modifications by ionizing radiation and characterize the non-irradiated (0 kGy) and the effective disinfected (10 kGy) exsiccata samples. The results revealed no significant changes on colorimetric morphological properties of then irradiated samples. The color changes between the non-irradiated samples and the irradiated sample at the high absorbed dose are perceptible, but acceptable considering the adopted scale. The microscopy images of the non-irradiated and 10 kGy irradiated samples did not show significant differences in the topographic morphology of the exsiccata samples. The results obtained corroborate the studies of the application of gamma radiation to preserve materials of cellulosic origin. Subsequently and for continuity of this research, other samples will be analyzed.
