The two examined specimens that were not included as types are morphologically very similar to the types of P. guyanensis, but differ from them by having the first metasomal tergite short with its length about 0.9 �� its maximum subapical width.

This paper analyzes the empirical fit of a new approach to exchange rate target zones. Unlike most of the literature on target zones, we use an estimation procedure that takes explicitly into account the band constraints, and hence their effect on the expectations of agents. Crucially, we do not impose Uncovered Interest Parity to assess realignment expectations. Rather than a point estimate of the future exchange rate, we estimate the entire range of realizations anticipated by the markets, and the probability attributed to each range. We examine high-frequency Brazilian post-stabilization (stable) data in allowing for both realignment jumps and within-the-band jumps. Knowledge of the exchange rate distribution can be relevant not only to the private sector for the management of currency risk, but also to policymakers as a source of prompt market feedback to policy changes or other political and economic shocks.

N?o existe tratamento espec?fico para a Dengue. No entanto, a detec??o precoce e o acesso a cuidados m?dicos adequados reduzem as taxas de mortalidade para abaixo de 1%. Novos m?todos de diagn?stico da doen?a t?m sido estudados atrav?s da imobiliza??o da prote?na n?o-estrutural 1 (NS1) do v?rus dengue, por esta ser um marcador utilizado durante a fase aguda da doen?a. Para isso, imunossensores utilizando a detec??o eletroqu?mica t?m sido explorados em v?rias an?lises, uma vez que s?o espec?ficos, simples, port?teis e geralmente descart?veis e podem realizar a detec??o in situ ou automatizada. Neste trabalho, realizou-se a s?ntese eletroqu?mica de filmes polim?ricos derivados do ?cido 4-aminobenz?ico (4-ABA), 4-aminobenzamida (4-ABZ), ?cido 4-hidroxibenz?ico (4-HBA) e 4-hidroxibenzamida (4-HBZ) na superf?cie de eletrodos de grafite atrav?s da voltametria c?clica (VC). Posteriormente, foi proposto um mecanismo de eletropolimeriza??o para os pol?meros obtidos. As propriedades eletroqu?micas, morfol?gicas e estruturais dos filmes polim?ricos formados e suas aplica??es na imobiliza??o de biomol?culas foram investigadas. Desta forma, verificou-se que os eletrodos modificados com poli(4-ABA) e poli(4-HBA) foram mais eficazes na imobiliza??o da prote?na recombinante n?o estrutural 1 (rNS1) e de anticorpos anti-NS1. Na segunda parte deste trabalho, um novo imunossensor eletroqu?mico baseado em anticorpos espec?ficos anti-NS1 acoplados a eletrodos impressos de grafite modificados com poli(4-ABA) foi desenvolvido com sucesso para o diagn?stico do v?rus da Dengue. A an?lise de valida??o foi realizada com amostras de soro humano, onde ap?s os testes sorol?gicos (ELISA), diferentes soros foram testados pelo teste r?pido da Bioclin, e os diagn?sticos foram confirmados pelo m?todo impedim?trico utilizado neste trabalho. Os resultados obtidos foram todos positivos para a metodologia imunocromatogr?fica utilizada no teste r?pido e para a detec??o impedim?trica de anticorpos anti-NS1. A compara??o entre os resultados mostra que o dispositivo fabricado pode ser aplicado satisfatoriamente para o diagn?stico preciso do v?rus da Dengue, apresentando excelentes resultados, sendo assim, uma nova alternativa de detec??o da Dengue.

Dengue virus infection is one of the most neglected diseases of major importance to public health in the world. It is a disease of wide clinical spectrum, including from soft forms to severe frames, caused by different serotypes of the virus. There is no specific treatment for Dengue. However, early detection and access to adequate medical care reduce mortality rates to below 1%. New methods of diagnosis of the disease have been studied through the immobilization of dengue virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), as a marker used during the acute phase of the disease. For this purpose, immunoassays using electrochemical detection have been explored in several analyzes, since they are specific, simple, portable and generally disposable and can perform in situ or automated detection. In this work, the electrochemical synthesis of polymeric films derived from 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA), 4-aminobenzamide (4-ABZ), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) and 4-hydroxybenzamide (4-HBZ) on the surface of graphite electrodes through cyclic voltammetry (VC). Subsequently, an electropolymerization mechanism was proposed for the obtained polymers. The electrochemical, morphological and structural properties of the polymeric films formed and their applications in the immobilization of biomolecules were investigated. In this way, electrodes modified with poly(4-ABA) and poly(4-HBA) were found to be more effective immobilization of the non-structural recombinant protein 1 (rNS1) and anti-NS1 antibodies. In the second part of this work, a new electrochemical immunosensor based on specific anti-NS1 antibodies coupled to poly(4-ABA) modified graphite printed electrodes has been successfully developed for the diagnosis of Dengue virus. Validation analysis was carried with human serum samples, where after the serological tests (ELISA), different sera were tested by the Bioclin rapid test, and the diagnoses were confirmed through the impedimetric method used in this work. The results obtained were all positive for the immunochromatographic methodology used in the rapid test and for the impedimetric detection of anti-NS1 antibodies. The comparison between the results shows that the manufactured device can be applied satisfactorily for the precise diagnosis of the Dengue virus, presenting excellent results, thus being a new alternative for the detection of Dengue specific antibodies.
