A reconfiguração da memória do Holocausto em HQ: uma análise discursivo-foucaultiana da adaptação de "Anne Frank"
No full textThis essay investigates the graphic novel (HQ) adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank as a discursive practice that reconfigures the memory of the Holocaust and the protagonist\u27s subjectivity. Anchored in Michel Foucault\u27s (2008, 2013, 2014) postulates on discourse, power-knowledge, and subjectivity, and Linda Hutcheon\u27s (2013) adaptation theory, the study analyzes how the graphic novel transcends mere reproduction of the original testimony, actively contributing to the construction of truth regimes about the genocide and the visual materialization of experiences of confinement and resistance. It demonstrates that the visual and textual language of comics – through framing suggesting imprisonment, chromatic contrasts symbolizing trauma, and explicit counter-discourses (such as questions about the injustice of persecution) – intensifies the reader\u27s experience and positions Anne Frank as a subject constituted by power relations, yet capable of a resistant practice of the self. The analysis highlights the graphic novel as a powerful cultural artifact that, by re-creating the diary\u27s narrative, promotes an active and critical memory, contributing to awareness of historical and ideological violence mechanisms that, unfortunately, still resonate today.Este ensaio analisa a adaptação em histórias em quadrinhos (HQ) do Diário de Anne Frank como uma prática discursiva que reconfigura a memória do Holocausto e a subjetividade da protagonista. Ancorando-se nos postulados de Michel Foucault (2008, 2013, 2014) sobre discurso, poder-saber e subjetividade, e na teoria da adaptação, Hutcheon (2013), o trabalho analisa como a HQ transcende a mera reprodução do testemunho original, atuando na construção de regimes de verdade sobre o genocídio e na materialização visual das experiências de confinamento e resistência. Demonstra-se que a linguagem visual e textual dos quadrinhos – por meio de enquadramentos que sugerem aprisionamento, contrastes cromáticos que simbolizam o trauma e contradiscursos explícitos (como as perguntas sobre a injustiça da perseguição) – intensifica a experiência do leitor e posiciona Anne Frank como um sujeito constituído pelas relações de poder, mas também capaz de uma prática de si resistente. A análise evidencia a HQ como um potente artefato cultural que, ao recriar a narrativa do diário, promove uma memória ativa e crítica, contribuindo para a conscientização sobre os mecanismos de violência histórica e ideológica que, lamentavelmente, ainda ecoam no presente
Lingual Frenotomy with High-Power Surgical Laser in Neonates
No full textObjective: To study cases of neonates diagnosed with ankyloglossia in a maternity hospital, submitted to frenotomies with the aid of a high-power laser. Material and Methods: 18 newborns in a maternity hospital between 2021 and 2022, with difficulties in breastfeeding due to ankyloglossia, participated in this cohort study. Neonates submitted to frenotomy with high-power laser were evaluated pre, trans, and postoperatively. Data were obtained from the patient\u27s medical records and assessment form, questionnaire Bristol Tongue Assessment Tool (BTAT), Martinelli´s Protocol, Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), and questions answered by mothers and by the performing professional. Results: There was a significant difference in the benefits of surgical removal of the lingual frenulum on tongue movements. Neonatal pain scores significantly decreased in the immediate postoperative period after frenotomy. The mother\u27s perception of the improvement in the quality of breastfeeding in the postoperative period was positive (p<0.001). Conclusion: Lingual frenotomy in neonates, performed with the aid of a high-power surgical laser, didn\u27t bring discomfort, bleeding, or infections during the trans and postoperative period, and made breastfeeding possible, bringing benefits to the mother-baby dyad
Effect of Novel Chelating Agents on the Dislodgement Resistance of Biodentine: An Ex-Vivo Study
No full textObjective: To investigate the effect of 0.26mol/L Clodronate Disodium Tetrahydrate, 9% Etidronic acid (HEDP), and 17% Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on the dislodgement resistance of Biodentine. Material and Methods: 80 human single-rooted premolar teeth were selected. For bond strength analysis, samples were treated (n=15) according to the irrigation protocol employed: EDTA Group - 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) + 17% EDTA; HEDP Group - 9% Etidronic acid + 2.5% NaOCl; Clodronate Group- 0.26mol/L Clodronate + 2.5% NaOCl; and Control Group- 2.5% NaOCl + Distilled Water. Root canals were condensed with Biodentine, and 1.5 mm thick dentine discs were produced, and push-out bond strength was analysed. For FTIR analysis, dentine samples (n=5) were prepared (1cm × 1cm). Pre and post-irrigation scans were performed to compare compositional changes in the Amide III, Phosphate, and Carbonate infrared bands. One-way analysis of variance with post-hoc Tukey’s test was employed to analyze the results. Results: The highest bond strength value was obtained with 0.26mol/L Clodronate, followed by 9% HEDP and 17% EDTA (p<0.001). Amide III: Phosphate levels decreased with EDTA and HEDP, whereas the opposite was observed with Carbonate: Phosphate. No difference was observed with 0.26 mol/L Clodronate. Fractographic analysis revealed 20% adhesive failure, 48% mixed failure, and 32% adhesive failure, respectively. Conclusion: 0.26 mol/L Clodronate produced the most favourable outcome in terms of bond strength of Biodentine
Beliefs about Oral Health and the Occurrence of Dental Caries in Pregnant Women: Cross-Sectional Study Nested in a Prospective Cohort
No full textObjective: To analyze beliefs about oral health in pregnant women and their association with the average number of decayed teeth in these women. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study nested in a prospective cohort involving 202 pregnant women from a Hospital in Northeast Brazil. Information on oral health beliefs during pregnancy was collected through face-to-face interviews. The number of decayed teeth was assessed by clinical examination (ICDAS-II). Mann-Whitney test was used to estimate the association between beliefs and dental caries (α=5%). Results: The mean age of pregnant women was 25.6 (±6.0) years. The mean number of decayed teeth was 5.9 (±4.0) and for active decay was 3.5 (±3.6). More than 50% of women believe that pregnant women cannot have teeth extracted (76.82%), receive dental anesthesia (75.56%), or undergo X-rays (64.83%). They also believe pregnant women have caries (70.3%) or gum problems (61.4%) regardless of care, and that babies absorb calcium from mothers’ teeth and bones (50.79%). Pregnant women had an average of 5.9 decayed teeth. Healthy tooth surfaces were predominant (22.8±4.7), while early and advanced carious lesions were infrequent. Although there were no significant differences, the average number of decayed teeth differed most in beliefs like “Pregnant women cannot undergo dental treatment” (3.3±0.6 caries for those who agree vs.6.8±5.4 for those who disagree; p=0.299), “Pregnant women cannot undergo X-rays” (6.7±4.4 vs. 3.8±2.9; p=0.177), and “It is normal to develop cavities during pregnancy” (4.5±4.9 vs. 6.6±5.4; p=0.157). For all other beliefs, the average number of caries was also similar. Conclusion:Unfounded beliefs about oral health and dental care during pregnancy persist among pregnant women. The experience of decay during pregnancy proved to be high, regardless of beliefs
Epidemiological Survey of Oral and Maxillofacial Lesion Patients Diagnosed in a Hospital Service of Anatomopathology
No full textObjective: To carry out an epidemiological survey of oral and maxillofacial lesions at the Integrated Center for Pathological Anatomy of the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital, Brazil. Material and Methods: Between the years 2013 and 2023, the histopathological reports and clinical forwarding sheets were analyzed. Among the 909 units obtained, 118 patients were excluded because they had lesions on their skin or had inconclusive histopathological diagnoses. The data were presented using descriptive statistics. Results: 791 different reports and 88 different histopathological variants were obtained. The distribution by race or skin color showed that most patients were non-black (33.1%). The most prevalent sex was female (51.9%), and the mean age was 42 years (1 to 100). Most biopsies were excisional (68.5%), of a benign nature (87.1%), and located in the jaws (51.6%). The group of epithelial pathologies (18.8%), odontogenic cysts (17%), and bone pathology (14%) were the most common ones. Regarding diagnoses, oral squamous cell carcinoma (8.98%) was the most frequently reported, followed by fibrous hyperplasia (8.09%) and ameloblastoma (7.33%). Conclusion: The profile of patients with oral and maxillofacial lesions assisted at the service corresponds to individuals who need high-complexity medical and dental treatment
Diferencial de desenvolvimento em relação ao país de origem e qualificação dos migrantes no Brasil
No full textA migração de profissionais qualificados desempenha papel crucial no processo de desenvolvimento econômico dos países de destino, dada a possibilidade de maior progresso tecnológico. Por meio de dados da RAIS-CTPS-CAGED para 2019 e estimação de um modelo econométrico Logit Multinível, este estudo investiga como o diferencial em termos de desenvolvimento econômico, representado pelo Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) entre os países de origem e o Brasil, se relaciona com a probabilidade de qualificação dos migrantes que ingressam no mercado de trabalho formal brasileiro. Os resultados apontam que o diferencial positivo entre o IDH do país de origem e do Brasil eleva a probabilidade de que os migrantes sejam qualificados. Isso traz implicações importantes para o Brasil, pois a entrada de mão de obra mais qualificada contribui para a inovação tecnológica, aumento da produtividade e crescimento econômico. Dessa forma, o estudo reforça a relevância de fluxos migratórios qualificados no processo de desenvolvimento econômico dos países
BOLSONARISMO:: PERSPECTIVAS ESTÉTICAS E MORAIS NA CONFIGURAÇÃO DA EXTREMA DIREITA BRASILEIRA
No full textBolsonarism transcends the political sphere, influencing culture and shaping the identity of far-right movements in Brazil. This study investigates, from an interdisciplinary perspective combining political sociology, communication, and philosophy, two central pillars of this phenomenon: aesthetics and moral codes. Six elements were identified within these pillars: rhetoric, patriotism, and religiosity (aesthetics); conspiracism, victimhood, and attacks on institutions (moral). The qualitative methodology, based on literature review, critical interpretation of political events, and discourse analysis, reveals how bolsonarism distorts democratic principles, reinforces polarization, and consolidates its influence on Brazilian society. Specifically, the aesthetic analysis revealed how Bolsonarism manipulates symbols and narratives to consolidate political power and destabilize the democratic space. In the moral sphere, conspiracism emerges as an effective tool for polarization and mobilization, portraying the world as a battle between forces of good and evil. By exploring its peculiar aesthetics and moral code, the study underscores the need to move beyond superficial classifications to grasp the complexity of Bolsonarism. For this reason, we emphasize that although this study has focused on aesthetic and moral dimensions, it acknowledges that Bolsonarism is a multifaceted phenomenon that requires ongoing and interdisciplinary analyses.O bolsonarismo transcende o campo político, influenciando a cultura e moldando a identidade dos movimentos de extrema direita no Brasil. Este estudo investiga, sob uma perspectiva interdisciplinar que combina sociologia política, comunicação e filosofia, dois pilares centrais do fenômeno: estética e código moral. Foram identificados seis elementos nesses pilares: retórica, patriotismo e religiosidade (estética); conspiracionismo, vitimismo e ataques às instituições (moral). A análise qualitativa, baseada em revisão de literatura, interpretação crítica de eventos políticos e análise de discurso, revela como o bolsonarismo distorce princípios democráticos, reforça a polarização e consolida sua influência na sociedade brasileira. Em específico, a análise estética expôs como o bolsonarismo manipula símbolos e narrativas para consolidar o poder político e desestabilizar o espaço democrático. Já no campo moral, o conspiracionismo se apresenta como uma ferramenta eficaz para polarizar e mobilizar, ao retratar o mundo como uma batalha entre forças do bem e do mal. Ao explorar sua estética peculiar e seu código moral, o estudo demonstra a necessidade de superar classificações superficiais para compreender complexidade do bolsonarismo. Por essa razão, apontamos que embora este estudo tenha se concentrado nas dimensões estética e moral, reconhece-se que o bolsonarismo é um fenômeno multifacetado, que demanda análises contínuas e interdisciplinares
Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) in the Oral Health Care Network of São Paulo-SP (ARTSUS-SP): Development of an Evidence-Informed Public Health Strategy
Full text linkObjective: To describe and analyze the context and decision-making process to deal with a major problem: the high prevalence of dental caries and the great difficulty in moving students from schools to the Basic Health Units of the Unified Health System for carrying out treatments in a metropolis. Material and Methods: To conduct this work, we used the "3-i+E Framework", which can help explore how key factors interact to influence, define, and structure policy choices. The data were collected from different sources using a qualitative exploratory approach. A documentary analysis of the minutes from meetings of a committee of specialists and an analysis of interviews with key informants were carried out. Results: As for institutions, governmental structures, policy networks, the oral health care network implemented at the municipality level were considered fundamental aspects that enabled the development of the strategies. As for ideas, three factors were highlighted: 1) the teaching-service relationship, which was fundamental for the decision to be based on scientific evidence; 2) managers valued scientific evidence, and 3) university was effective in communicating research results. With regard to interests, the decision-making was consolidated from the convergence of interests of public officials, politicians and researchers. Conclusion: The problem and its solutions were addressed at the political agenda by a window of opportunity, and the decision-making process was well-informed
Associations between Screen Time and Factors Related to Dental Caries in Children: A Cross-Sectional Study
Full text linkObjective: To evaluate the association of screen time (ST) and unhealthy food consumption (UFC) with dental caries in children. Associations between ST or UFC and socioeconomic/demographic factors were also performed. Material and Methods: Children (n=47) between 2 and 12 years were included and examined for caries experience (dmft/DMFT index). Socioeconomic, demographic, ST (TV + computer time), and UFC were data collected through interviews. ST was compared between children with dmft ≤2 or >2. Multiple regression models evaluated associations between socioeconomic/demographic factors and TV/computer times/UFC. Results: Children\u27s ST was 5.35±2.01 h/day, 51.1% had UFC >4 times/day, 53.2% showed dmft ≤2 and 87.5% DMFT=0. Mothers were the primary caregivers (78.7%), who presented as less than having completed high school level (76.1%) and having low socioeconomic status (SES) (51.1%). No difference between ST of children with dmft >2 (5.91±1.92h/day) and those with dmft ≤2 (4.86±2.00h/day) was observed (p=0.07). Children from low SES watched TV more than 2h/day (p=0.01), and those whose mothers had lower education levels presented the highest UFC (p=0.03). Most children with UFC >4 times/day stayed longer in front of a computer (p=0.013). Conclusion: Although screen time and unhealthy food consumption were not associated with caries, children staying for a long time in front of a computer presented the highest unhealthy food consumption. Also, mothers\u27 lower socioeconomic status and higher educational levels influenced children to watch TV for a long time and eat a poor diet, respectively
