Bredemeyera floribunda Wild (Polygalaceae), also known as pau-de-ovo is a medicinal plant used to treat snakebites, as tonic and fortifiers to treat fatigue and exhaustion. The aim of the present study was to document the knowledge of herbal sellers in the preparation of the so-called "B. floribunda fortifier" and to compare the plant root content with the recommended nutritional values and the permitted limit for medicinal plants. The study revealed that, unlike other regions of Brazil, in the Midwest region, the root of the plant is used as food to treat fatigue and exhaustion. The contents in B. floribunda root decreased in the following order: Ca > K > P > Na > Fe > Mg > Si > Mn > Zn > Cu. Daily intake of 30 grams of B. floribunda roots are considered as an excellent source of Cr, Cu, Mn and Se for people 19 to 50 years of age according to the RDA. In addition, Cu and Fe showed content above the established limit for medicinal plants stipulated by other countries. The root of the plant has low K, Mg, P, Na and Zn content. When the contents in roots of the plant are below the oral dose of reference, consumption of this plant can be considered safe and without risk to human health. On the other hand, concentration of elements such as Cu, Fe, Ni, Al, Cr and Se exceeding the allowable limit may cause serious health problems due to prolonged ingestion

“…Several studies of adjustment of probability density distribution or probability estimates using theoretical models of probability in relation to a historical series of data have been developed, highlighting the benefits in the planning of activities that minimize the risks, among which can be cited: precipitation (Catalunha, et al, 2002;Dallacort, et al, 2011;Hartmann, et al, 2011;Rodrigues, et al, 2014;Kist & Virgens Filho, 2015), air temperature (Assis, et al, 2018;Araújo, et al, 2010), concentration of pollutant gases (Souza, et al, 2018a;2018b), for the historical series of hospital admissions for respiratory diseases there are no published works with this methodology.…”

Objective: To analyze the adjustments of the weibull, gamma, normal and logistic probability density distributions of the historical series of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases (childhood and adult pneumonia) from 2011 to 2015, in Campo Grande, MS. Methods: The shape and scale parameters of the distributions were determined to verify the quality of the data fit. Results: Four probability density functions (Table 2) were fitted and the R2, MAE, RSME, MAPE tests were used to verify the best density function for hospitalization data. Conclusion: The best fit was the Gamma distribution; the distribution can be used as an alternative distribution that adequately describes the data on hospital admissions for respiratory diseases in Campo Grande.

“…The continuous probability distributions are widely used in several probabilistic studies, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] due to the adjustment of their variables, which may not be perfect, but they describe a real situation well, providing answers to the hypotheses that may have been raised in the research. According to Ferreira,8 the random variables of the continuous distributions are those that assume their values in a real scale, modeled by a density function f(x) with the following properties:…”

This study discussed the behavior of ozone level observed in the atmospheric region of Campo Grande. To determine the best adjusted distribution to describe the ozone co-generation data for the year 2016 in Campo Grande were used 15 functions adjusted for this purpose; the performances of the distributions are evaluated using three test qualities, namely Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling and Chi-Square test. Finally, the result of the fitted quality test is compared, it was observed that the generalized extreme value distribution provides a good fit for the whole year and the distributions Gamma 3P; lognormal 3P; weibull and Gamma 3P for the seasons of the year: winter, spring, summer, autumn, which are empirically proven to be the most appropriate distribution of data.
