Introduction: Some viruses of the Herpesviridae family are frequently the etiologic agents of oral lesions associated with HIV. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1, HSV-2), Varicella Zoster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), human herpesvirus type 6, type 7 and type 8 (HHV-6, HHV-7 and HHV-8) in the oral cavity of HIV-infected children/adolescents and verify the association between viral subtypes and clinical factors. Methods: The cells of oral mucosa were collected from 50 HIV infected children/adolescents, 3-13 years old (mean age 8.66). The majority (66%) of selected were girls, and they were all outpatients at the pediatric AIDS clinic of a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Nested-PCR was used to identify the viral types. Results: Absence of immunosuppression was observed in 66% of the children. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was used by 72.1% of selected and moderate viral load was observed in 56% of the children/adolescents. Viral types were found in 86% of the children and the subtypes were: HSV-1 (4%), HSV-2 (2%), VZV (4%), EBV (0%), HCMV (24%), HHV6 (18%), HHV-7 (68%), HHV8 (0%). Conclusions: The use of HAART has helped to reduce oral lesions, especially with herpes virus infections. The health professionals who work with these patients should be aware of such lesions because of their predictive value and the herpes virus can be found circulating in the oral cavity without causing lesions.
Com o advento da globalização inicia-se uma nova forma de convivência entre as sociedades, cuja possibilidade contribui para gerar um emaranhado campo de cruzamentos culturais e permite o estabelecimento de valores universais em meios locais. Este contexto, aliado à cultura de massas, promoveu as marcas a símbolos culturais complexos e globais. Inspirados no projeto arqueológico de Michel Foucault, elegemos uma marca global para realizar um estudo de caso fotoetnográfico de práticas cotidianas mundanas. Este processo nos possibilitou realizar a análise por meio de um trabalho de ordenação, definição e descrição, elaborado no interior do campo discursivo, permitindo que os resultados revelassem descrições enunciativas pautadas nas ações de marketing da marca. Estas nos revelaram funções e suas relações nos permitiram decifrar as regras sob as quais essas se encontravam regidas. A análise nos revelou o limiar relacional entre as culturas global e local e nos possibilitou desvelar as relações existentes nesta teia discursiva, possibilitando a compreensão de como uma marca transnacional se estabelece numa cultura local reproduzindo a cultura global. Neste sentido, apontamos alguns caminhos para reflexão acerca das sociedades ocidentais no contemporâneo.
Resumo Os fãs da saga Harry Potter, conhecidos como potterheads, pertencem a uma geração que cresceu em um contexto denominado cultura da convergência. Organizam-se a partir de um produto midiático em um espaço social denominado fandom, por meio de um processo organizativo informal. Embasados no pensamento foucaultiano e na teoria organizacional, assumimos que processos organizativos podem ser analisados como um tipo de dispositivo e que este se estabelece por práticas. Com base nisso, desenvolvemos a seguinte questão investigativa: como as práticas dos potterheads evidenciam seu processo organizativo? A pesquisa se caracteriza como uma Análise de Discursos Foucaultiana, com base em práticas de potterheads observadas em mídias sociais. Como resultado, identificamos que o cânone deste universo literário e cinematográfico funciona como um corpo de saberes ordenado, cuja função disciplinar possibilita a organização de seus fãs, que se dá numa dinâmica de aderência e resistência ao mesmo. O estudo revela como um processo organizativo singular (vida organizada dos potterheads), vinculado a um cenário econômico de crescente importância (indústria do entretenimento), ilustra como um dispositivo opera na produção de espaços sociais e subjetividades, em meio a uma economia afetiva operada como uma tecnologia biopolítica.
ResumoO advento da globalização contribui para gerar um emaranhado campo de cruzamentos culturais e, assim, permite o estabelecimento de valores universais em meios locais. Esse contexto, aliado à cultura de massas, promoveu as marcas a símbolos culturais complexos e globais. Nosso objetivo foi buscar a compreensão de como é possível uma marca transnacional se estabelecer numa cultura local reproduzindo a cultura global. Inspirados no projeto arqueológico de Michel Foucault, construímos um corpus fotográfi co de práticas cotidianas de uma marca global. Tal processo se deu por meio de um trabalho de ordenação, defi nição e descrição, elaborado no interior do campo discursivo, pautado nas ações de marketing da marca. A análise nos revelou as formações discursivas entre culturas global e local e nos possibilitou desvelar as relações existentes nessa teia. Os resultados apontaram alguns caminhos para refl exão, tanto acerca da importância assumida pela marca na cultura quanto da forma assumida pelas sociedades ocidentais contemporâneas.Palavras-chave: Marca global.

Discursive Formations of a Global Brand in a Local Context: a study inspired in Michel Foucault's archaeological method AbstractT he advent of globalization has generated an entangled fi eld of cross-cultures enabling the establishment of universal values in local media. This context and mass culture have promoted brands to become complex and global cultural symbols. Our aim is to understand how a transnational brand can establish itself in a local culture reproducing a global one. Inspired by Michel Foucault's archaeological project, we constructed a photographic corpus of the daily practices of a global brand. This was done by ordering, defi ning and describing within the discursive fi eld, guided by brand marketing practices. The analysis revealed the discursive formations between global and local cultures and unveiled existing links in this network. Our results can be used to refl ect on both the importance assumed by brands in culture and the form assumed by contemporary Western societies.
The COVID‐19 pandemic has had a crucial impact on lifestyle worldwide. In this way, many studies have been presented, leading to continuous revaluation and questioning of conducts and concepts. Such is the case of the Chinese study suggesting that the new coronavirus has the potential to code anomalous nonstructural proteins capable of dissociating the iron atom from the porphyrin structure, contributing significantly to the characteristic hypoxemia conditions of the disease. Considering the potential impacts of those findings, the current study aims to evaluate and measure the dissociation curve of oxy‐hemoglobin in COVID‐19 patients. The project consists of a retrospective cohort study with data regarding oximetry and hemoglobin levels collected from digital patients records. The correlation between the measures and estimated values by Spearmen test was 0.843 (P < .001). A multiple linear regression model was applied using measured SO2 as a predicted variable and hemoglobin, PO2, and pH levels as predictors. The coefficients were pH 0.16‐0.31 (P < .001); PO2 0.52‐0.66 (P < .001) and Hb 0.088‐0.059 (P = .706). Despite its limitations, the present study suggests that, at least in situations of clinical severity, the proposed mechanism does not appear to be universal or to have a significant clinical impact.
Having the contemporary paradigmatic crisis, we contribute to the current that advocates with the critical possibility to theoretical and empirical critical to the field of Administration, looking at the thought of one of the leading philosophers of knowledge in contemporary society: Michel Foucault. Thus, this article aims to address the concept of epistemological ground of Michel Foucault as a possibility for a new critical perspective is applied to the understanding of phenomena in the field of Administration. Given the understanding of the complex legacy of Foucault, we start contextualizing the theoretical trajectory of the philosopher in his two interconnected intellectual cycles history (archeology and genealogy), supported by the notion of episteme, device and practice. We approach, in this way, some key concepts of his theoretical work, establishing relationships. We conclude the article presenting possibilities for application of the method to the field of Administration, believing that their understanding may promote the production of critical knowledge to the area.
