Readings of Fun Home thus far have tended to focus on the representation of Alison Bechdel’s traumatic life experiences and on the ways in which the memoir bears witness to that trauma. While Jennifer Lemberg explores the role of drawing in overcoming the difficulty or impossibility of naming the traumatic experiences Alison undergoes (135), Ann Cvetkovich draws attention to the cultural and political work the memoir performs by making space for everyday life histories of trauma and for accounts of forbidden, pathologized desires (111). I would like to explore the ways in which Fun Home foregrounds those illicit desires, and performs that political work, not only through the telling of Alison’s story but, more specifically, by mobilizing the reader’s affective capabilities in the face of what may be read as surprising, emotionally charged objects and situations. I suggest that Bechdel’s memoir boldly sets the stage for an affective and cognitive encounter with out-of-bounds, unapproachable bodies and histories. Our assumptions about hetero and homonormativity, as well as our conception of home and the family as heterosexual, normative spaces, are interrogated in and through those encounters. I analyze the fundamental role of the graphic narrative form, and the employment of archival objects and elements of performance in particular, in setting the stage for the reader’s affective encounter with Alison’s family history. / text

The aim of the research in this thesis was to describe the motivations and health practices of participants in the Victoria Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Run for the Cure, a mass physical activity charity event, and follow them forward approximately two andeight months post-event. Physical activity events are now established as part of nonprofits' repertoire of fundraising tools. These types of events can serve as a venue for ‘moving people to trial’ as they attract large numbers and foster mid-intensity participation in a non-competitive and fun environment. Understanding participants’ motives for and experiences in fundraising events can help to enhance the event for both the organization and the participant. Participants in this study were recruited through the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s database of registrants in the 2012 Victoria Run for the Cure. Sixty-four participants completed an online survey gathering demographic, motivation, and health information. Subsequently, twenty-four of these individuals agreed to undergo fitness assessments at two and six months post the event, complete physical activity and healthy eating motivation questionnaires and be interviewed. At T1 participants were not meeting physical activity guidelines and heavier than the average resident in the region. Scores from fitness levels were maintained from two months to eight months post-event, but increased levels of intrinsic motivation for physical activity (Z = .047, p < 0.05), and decreased levels of identified motivation for healthy eating (Z = .036, p < .05) were found. When looking at interview data, factors that largely guided initial event participation involved altruism, reciprocity, and self esteem. The fostering of autonomy and competence and providing a sense of belonging as a result of participation, helped to maintain commitment for both event participation and physical activity after the event. This research supports the notion that ‘fun runs’, provide an ideal environment to provide a context for health behaviour change at the population level, when SDT constructs and intrinsic and identified regulation are supported, especially for those not currently meeting health guidelines. The study offers practical and feasible strategies for the CBCF and other similar organizations to enhance its mandate, and to promote health and prevent disease. / Graduate / 0350 / 0523 / kemoncks@uvic.ca

In 1963, architect Cedric Price, theatre producer Joan Littlewood, and cybernetician Gordon Pask proposed a new kind of leisure centre called the Fun Palace. Though never built, the project continues to influence architecture and is the inspiration for this thesis. Known also as the “Laboratory of Fun,” the Fun Palace developed a compelling yet problematic narrative: people would have the freedom to design their own spatial experiences, but their behaviours would be monitored and probed. Innovations from the cybernetic committee had propelled the Fun Palace beyond mundane reality and into the virtual. In fact, the Fun Palace was more than a building; it was an information interface where architecture and humans were connected by cybernetic feedback. Of particular importance to this thesis is the way the Fun Palace antici- pated how digital technology would transform the world, and how it can be understood as an early prototype of the digital city. The model of space that the Fun Palace proposed shifted our understanding of architecture from autonomous and static to complex and dynamic; from an architecture of walls to an architecture of fields. This thesis is organized along three lines of inquiry. Firstly, that architecture is participatory. Secondly, that architecture is multidimensional. Thirdly, that architecture is generated by real-time transactions. The thesis concludes with a speculation called In The Fields: a mobile laboratory for co-creation in the digital city.

Seu principal objetivo ? analisar os fatores que influenciaram, preponderantemente, na execu??o das subfases do preg?o eletr?nico na BANT, no ano de 2014, quanto ao atendimento ao princ?pio da celeridade. A pesquisa ? do tipo descritiva, uma vez que identifica e analisa os fatores que influenciaram nos prazos das compras, por meio da observa??o direta e de entrevistas. Com base no referencial te?rico, a fun??o compras, estabelece quatro dimens?es de an?lise: ?Legisla??o e processos de compras?, ?Estrutura e Organiza??o do setor de compras?, ?Sistemas de compras? e ?Recursos humanos do setor de compras?. As an?lises demonstraram que, diferentemente do que ocorre no ?mbito privado, o setor de compras p?blico n?o alcan?ou um status estrat?gico dentro das organiza??es, o que traz consequ?ncias prejudiciais ? celeridade das compras. Com isso,verificou que h? a necessidade de uma maior participa??o do pessoal do setor de compras e dos pregoeiros na formula??o das estrat?gias de aquisi??o da organiza??o e que esses elementos de compras apresentam, em suas atitudes, um perfil h?brido, proativo quanto ?s especifica??es dos itens, mas reativo em rela??o ? necessidade de compras de car?ter de urg?ncia, fruto da car?ncia de um melhor planejamento, o que sobrecarrega o trabalho do setor. A observa??o desses aspectos estrat?gicos da fun??o compras na BANT influenciou na constata??o de que a car?ncia de pessoal e de investimentos em qualifica??o somados ao excesso de rigor e formalismo da legisla??o, entre outros fatores, contribu?ram, preponderantemente, para a falta de celeridade dos processos. Por fim, este estudo traz sugest?es para o aumento da celeridade das compras da BANT. / This study discusses the issue of deadlines in the purchasing process within the Federal Public Administration. Your main goal is to analyze the main factors that influenced, mainly in the implementation of sub-phases of electronic trading in BANT, in 2014, as service to the principle of celerity. The research is descriptive since they were identified and analyzed the factors that influenced in terms of purchases, through direct observation and interviews. Based on the theoretical framework, the purchasing function, four dimensions of analysis were established: "Legislation and procurement processes", "Structure and Organization of the purchasing department", "purchasing systems" and "Human Resources of the purchasing department." Analysis showed that, unlike what happens in the private sector, the public procurement sector has not reached a strategic status within organizations, which brings harmful consequences to the speed of the purchases. It was found that there is a need for greater involvement of the purchasing department staff and criers in the formulation of the organization's purchasing strategies and that these purchases elements present, about their attitudes, a hybrid profile, proactive regarding specifications of the items, but reactive in relation to the need to urgently purchase, due to the lack of a better plan, which overloads the work of the sector. The observation of these strategic aspects of the procurement function in BANT influenced the finding that the lack of staff and expertise in investments plus the lack of rigor and formality of legislation, among other factors, contributed mainly to the lack of speed of processes.

O estudo foi conduzido em uma ?rea de Reserva Legal pertencente ? empresa Anglo Ferrous Minas-Rio Minera??o S.A no munic?pio de Dom Joaquim (MG), nas coordenadas 19?00'09'' S e 43?11'38'' W e com altitude m?dia de 738m. O fragmento possui aproximadamente 105 ha e encontra-se disposto em encostas com declividades acentuadas, com pequenos cursos d??gua entre as mesmas.Foram observados sinais de impactos naturais causados pela alta intensidade dos ventos, que ocasionam quedas de ?rvores e aberturas do dossel. Para o invent?rio florestal foram alocadas trinta parcelas de 20 ? 20 m (400 m?) totalizando ?rea amostral de 1,2 hectare.Nestas foram amostrados todos os indiv?duos arb?reos com circunfer?ncia ? altura do peito (CAP) > 15,7 cm, exceto lianas e indiv?duos mortos. As esp?cies amostradas foram classificadas em quatro sistemas de guildas (dispers?o, poliniza??o, toler?ncia ? desseca??o e densidade da madeira). Foram mensurados 2056 indiv?duos distribu?dos em 156 esp?cies, 104 g?neros e 46 fam?lias.A distribui??o por classes diam?tricas dos indiv?duos da comunidade arb?rea obteve uma tend?ncia de J-invertido, comportamento esperado para florestas inequi?neas. Por?m, a an?lise para algumas esp?cies isoladas n?o possu?ram esse padr?o, fato este relacionado com a ecologia populacional de cada esp?cie ou com limita??es no recrutamento.Foi verificado um alto valor de H?, o que indica uma ?rea com diversidade relativamente alta e uma fraca domin?ncia ecol?gica de esp?cies verificada tanto pelo elevado valor de J? como pela reduzida porcentagem do somat?rio das dez principais esp?cies para todos par?metros fitossociol?gicos. No fragmento tamb?m foram levantadas esp?cies que est?o inseridas na lista das esp?cies amea?adas de extin??o do IBAMA, sendo estas Euterpe edulis, Zeyheria tuberculosa, Apuleia leiocarpa, Dalbergia nigra, Melanoxylon bra?na, Syagrus macrocarpa, Ocotea odorifera e Almeidea coerulea. Na guilda de dispers?o a ?nica s?ndrome considerada significativa foi a anemoc?rica (indiv?duos foram mais frequente que o esperado nos estratos intermedi?rio e superior), o que ocorreu devido nestes locais haver uma maior a??o do vento e aus?ncia de obst?culos. A s?ndrome de dispers?o zooc?rica, predominou em todos os estratos, por?m estatisticamente n?o houve diferen?as significativas. Este resultado parece estar fortemente relacionado ao habitat dos animais, j? que s?o nessas ?reas que a fauna encontram maior prote??o contra preda??o. Para poliniza??o tamb?m foi constatado uma domin?ncia de indiv?duos polinizados por animais em todos os estratos, por?m tamb?m sem diferen?as significativas. Esse predom?nio sugere a import?ncia do papel da fauna na garantia do fluxo g?nico. J? a guilda toler?ncia a desseca??o apresentou em todos os estratos analisados diferen?as significativas entre as categorias de toler?ncia, onde indiv?duos com sementes recalcitrantes foram mais frequente que o esperado nos estrato inferior e emergente, sugerindo que no fragmento ocorreu algum dist?rbio a m?dio prazo de tempo e que este se encontra em pleno processo de sucess?o secund?ria, j? que h? indiv?duos de sementes recalcitrantes (est?gio sucessional avan?ado) jovens que substituir?o os indiv?duos situados nos estratos superiores. Corroborando com a toler?ncia ? desseca??o, a densidade da madeira apresentou um predom?nio de indiv?duos madeira pesada (est?gio sucessional mais avan?ado) no estrato inferior, evidenciando mais uma vez a substitui??o de indiv?duos de est?gio sucessional intermedi?rio. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ? Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Ci?ncia Florestal, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2013. / ABSTRACT This study aimed to know the structure of the tree community, the richness, diversity and ecological functions of the species in a Seasonal Semideciduous Forest fragment. The study was conducted in a Legal Reserve area belonging to the company Anglo Ferrous Minas-Rio Minera??o S.A. in the municipality of Don Joaquim (MG), at coordinates 19? 00'09'' S and 43? 11'38'' W and average altitude of 738 m. The fragment has approximately 105 ha and is arranged on slopes with steep slopes, with small streams between them. Signs of natural impacts caused by the high intensity of the winds, which cause falling trees and canopy openings were observed. For the forest inventory were allocated thirty plots of 20 ? 20 m (400 m?) of the total sampled area of 1.2 hectare. In these, were sampled all the trees with circumference at breast height (CBH) > 15.7 centimeters, except lianas and dead individuals. Sampled species were classified into four guilds systems (dispersal, pollination, desiccation tolerance and wood density). 2056 individuals were measured, distribuite in: 156 species 104 genus and 46 families. The distribution by diameter classes of individuals of the tree community, obteined a trend of inverted-J behavior, expected for uneven aged forest. However, the analysis of some isolated species did not possess this pattern, a fact related to the population ecology of each species or the limitations in recruitment. A high value of H' was found, which indicates an area with relatively high diversity and low ecological dominance of species, verified by the high value of J' and for the small percentage of the sum of the ten major species for all phytosociological parameters. In the fragment were collected species that are also included in the list of endangered species of IBAMA, such as Euterpe edulis, Zeyheria tuberculosa, Apuleia leiocarpa, Dalbergia nigra, Melanoxylon brauna, Syagrus macrocarpa, Ocotea odorifera and Almeidea coerulea. In the dispersion guild, the only syndrome that was considered significant was the anemocoric (individuals were more frequent than expected in the intermediate and superior stratas), which occurred because these sites have a higher wind action and absence of obstacles. The zoochoric dispersion syndrome, predominated in all stratas, but statistically there were no significant differences. This result appears to be strongly related to the habitat of the animals, since these are areas that the fauna found a greater protection against predation. For pollination, have been found the predominance of individuals pollinated by animals in all strata, but also without significant differences. This predominance suggests the importance of the role of fauna in ensuring the gene flow. The guild presented desiccation tolerance in all stratas analyzed significant differences between categories of tolerance, where individuals with recalcitrant seeds were more frequent than expected in emerging and inferior strata, suggesting that in the fragment occured some disturbance in the medium and long term that this is in the process of secondary succession, since there are individuals of young recalcitrant seeds (late successional state) that will replace individuals on the superior strata. Corroborating with desiccation tolerance, the wood density showed a prevalence of individuals with heavy wood (more advanced successional stage) in the lower stratum, showing once again the replacement of individuals of intermediate successional stage.

Objetivos: Investigar se o TDAH pode ser considerado fator de risco para altera??es bucais. Metodologia: A disserta??o foi desenvolvida em dois estudos independentes. No primeiro estudo foi desenvolvido um artigo de revis?o em que dois pesquisadores realizaram as buscas, de forma independente, nas bases de dados MEDLINE e Web of Science. Foram analisados todos os artigos originais sobre o tema, independente do tipo de estudo, publicados desde o in?cio do banco de dados at? agosto de 2012. Estudos de revis?es foram exclu?dos. No segundo estudo foi desenvolvido uma pesquisa transversal com amostra representativa de 851 crian?as com idades entre 7 e 12 anos, selecionadas aleatoriamente nas escolas da cidade de Diamantina. Informa??es socioecon?micas foram coletadas atrav?s de question?rios enviados aos pais das crian?as. Todas as crian?as participaram do exame cl?nico de c?rie dent?ria e da avalia??o neuropsicol?gica utilizando o teste das Matrizes Progressivas Coloridas de Raven, Cubos de Corsi e Digit Span. Os sintomas de desaten??o e hiperatividade foram investigados pelo preenchimento da escala SNAP pelos pais e professores. Resultados: No estudo de revis?o, os resultados foram divergentes com rela??o ? associa??o entre TDAH e sa?de bucal, sendo que cinco estudos encontraram associa??o entre c?rie dent?ria e TDAH, no entanto, dois n?o estabeleceram essa associa??o. Em rela??o, a associa??o entre trauma dent?rio e TDAH, cinco estudos encontraram associa??o positiva, enquanto outros 3 n?o encontraram associa??o. E, somente um estudo mostrou associa??o entre c?rie dent?ria e gengivite. A maioria dos estudos existentes apresentaram limita??es metodol?gicas, tais como n?o padroniza??o dos crit?rios diagn?sticos para o TDAH, aus?ncia de c?lculo amostral e falta de representatividade amostral. No segundo estudo da disserta??o, crian?as relatadas como desatentas e/ou hiperativas pelos pais apresentaram maior probabilidade de possuir dentes cavitados. Maior escolaridade materna e melhor desempenho no subteste Cubos de Corsi (ordem inversa) foram fatores protetores em rela??o ? ocorr?ncia de c?rie dent?ria. Conclus?o: O estudo de revis?o indicou que n?o h? consenso sobre a associa??o entre TDAH e sa?de bucal, por?m, a maioria das evid?ncias indicam a favor da exist?ncia dessa associa??o. Os dados do artigo original revelaram que a escolaridade materna, desaten??o e hiperatividade relatadas pelos pais e o desempenho nas fun??es executivas foram as vari?veis explicativas para a ocorr?ncia de dentes cavitados. / ABSTRACT The attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common developmental disorder among students and may trigger changes across the life course of the individuals and their families. Objectives: To investigate whether ADHD can be considered a risk factor for oral alterations. Methods: The dissertation was developed in two independent studies. In the first study, a review article was developed in which two researchers conducted the searches independently, in the MEDLINE and Web of Science databases. We analyzed all original articles on the subject, regardless the type of the study, published since the beginning of the database to August 2012. In the second study we developed a cross-sectional study with a representative sample of 851 children aged between 7 and 12 years, randomly selected from schools of Diamantina city. Socioeconomic data were collected through questionnaires sent to parents. All children participated in the clinical examination of dental caries and neuropsychological assessment, using the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices test, Corsi Blocks and Digit Span. Inattention and hyperactivity symptoms were assessed by the filling of the SNAP scale by parents and teachers. Results: In the first study, the results were conflicting regarding the association between ADHD and oral health. Five studies found an association between dental caries and ADHD, however two have not established this association. Regarding the association between dental trauma and ADHD, five studies found a positive association, while 3 others found no association. And, only one study showed an association between dental caries and gingivitis. Most existing studies had methodological limitations, such as non-standardization of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, no sample size calculation and lack of representativeness. In the second study of this dissertation, children reported as inattentive and / or hyperactive by their parents were more likely to have cavitary teeth. Higher maternal education and better performance on the Corsi Blocks subtest (backward) were protective factors to dental caries. Conclusion: The review study indicated that there is no consensus about the association between ADHD and oral health, but most evidences point to the existence of this association. The data of the original article revealed that maternal education, inattention and hyperactivity reported by parents and performance in executive functions were the explanatory variables for the occurrence of dental caries.

Explorar a rela??o entre fun??o mastigat?ria (for?a de mordida, performance mastigat?ria, limiar de degluti??o) e suas poss?veis associa??es entre as condi??es bucais (bruxismo, c?rie, m? oclus?o, DTM) e corporais de crian?as (IMC). O primeiro cap?tulo ? uma revis?o sistem?tica que objetivou verificar a influ?ncia do bruxismo do sono sobre a for?a de mordida e avaliar qualitativamente a consist?ncia metodol?gica dos estudos publicados na literatura mundial. O segundo artigo ? um estudo transversal realizado com 59 crian?as de quatro a 12 anos de idade atendidas na cl?nica de odontopediatria da Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, em Diamantina (Brasil). Objetivou-se verificar a associa??o entre as condi??es bucais, corporais e a performance masigat?ria. No final do primeiro estudo, conclui-se que apesar do maior n?mero de relatos n?o houve diferen?a na for?a de mordida entre os grupos, as metodologias apresentam inconsistentes. S?o necess?rios novos estudos que relacionem o bruxismo do sono e for?a de mordida. E no segundo artigo as crian?as em fase de denti??o dec?dua apresentam pior performance mastigat?ria do que crian?as em fase de denti??o mista e permanente. Al?m disso, quanto maior o n?mero de dentes cavitados, pior foi a performance mastigat?ria. O comprometimento da fun??o mastigat?ria pode facilitar o diagnostico ao identificar crian?as com perdas dent?rias e les?es cariosas que, por sua vez, pode estar associado a outros problemas como altera??es no estado nutricional infantil e disfun??es temporomandibulares / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ? Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Odontologia, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2014. / ABSTRACT This work, consisting of two articles, aimed to study the association between masticatory function and its determinants. Explore the relationship between masticatory function (bite force, masticatory performance, swallowing threshold) and the possible association between oral conditions (bruxism, caries, malocclusion, DTM) and body of children (BMI). The first chapter is a systematic review aimed to assess the influence of sleep bruxism on the bite force and qualitatively assess the methodological consistency of the studies published in the literature. The second article is a cross-sectional study with 59 children aged four to 12 years old attending the pediatric dentistry clinic at the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri, in Diamantina (Brazil). This study aimed to investigate the association between oral conditions, body and masigat?ria performance. At the end of the first study, it is concluded that despite the increased number of reports no difference in bite force between the groups, the methodologies have inconsistent. Further research correlating sleep bruxism and bite force. And in the second article children in deciduous dentition have worse masticatory performance than children in mixed and permanent dentition. Furthermore, the higher the cavitation number of teeth, chewing performance was worst. The impairment of masticatory function may facilitate the diagnosis by identifying children with tooth loss and caries lesions which, in turn, may be associated with other problems such as changes in nutritional status and temporomandibular disorders.

Esta ação leva à Freguesia de Santo Antônio das Lagoinhas novos ideais de sociabilidade e divertimento que influenciariam na estruturação da cidade de Alagoinhas. Esta pesquisa de perspectiva histórica possibilita vislumbrar a construção dos espaços de lazer na cidade de Alagoinhas e a representação de suas práticas. O problema norteador apontado foi: Qual o processo histórico que fundou a estruturação das práticas de lazer e de sociabilidade na cidade de Alagoinhas-BA? Evidenciamos que no contexto da investigação, a ideia de lazer não se apresentava consolidada. Falamos de um processo de construção desse fenômeno. Nosso objetivo foi compreender como as práticas de lazer e sociabilidade se estruturaram na cidade, e ainda, apontar e analisar as práticas culturais e suas representações à época. Como metodologia lidamos com a Nova História Cultural. O recorte temporal está entre 1863 e 1930. As fontes usadas foram os periódicos que circulavam na época e produções literárias e acadêmicas acerca do nosso objeto, no período. A partir desta análise é possível concluir que mesmo sem a apropriação dos conceitos atuais, já haviam ações de lazer sendo desenvolvidas na localidade, visando atender os novos ideais de sociabilidade e divertimento, intrínsecos ao processo de modernização. Entre as atividades registradas vemos a influência da população imigrante que chegou a cidade, a partir da construção da ferrovia, como um fator que estimulou as práticas que repercutiram nos novos hábitos culturais da sociedade. / Abstract This study boards the structuring of the leisure and of the sociability in Alagoinhas-Bahia, between the end of the century XIX and beginning of the XX, period in which the country was lived one more process of modernization. This action takes to the Freguesia de Santo Antonio das Lagoinhas new ideals of sociability and amusement that they would influence the structuring of the city of Alagoinhas. This inquiry of historical perspective makes possible to glimpse the construction of the leisure spaces in the city of Alagoinhas and the representation of his practices. The problem guiding pointed was: Which the historical process that did establish the structuring of the practices of leisure and of sociability in the city of Alagoinhas-BA? We show up that in the context of the investigation, the leisure idea was not presenting itself consolidated. We talk about a process of construction of this phenomenon. Our objective went to understand like the leisure practices and sociability they were still structured in the city, and, to point and to analyze the cultural practices and his representations to the period. We used as methodology the New Cultural History. The cutting out historical is between 1863 and 1930. The worn-out fountains were the magazines that were circulating in the time and literary and academic productions about our object, in the period. From this analysis it is possible to end what even without the appropriation of the current concepts, already existed leisure actions being developed in the town, aiming to attend the new ideals of sociability and amusement, intrinsic to the process of modernization. Between the registered activities we see the influence of the immigrant population that reached city, from the construction of the railroad, like a factor that stimulated the practices that had repercussions on the new cultural habits of the society.

A inflama??o das vias a?reas causada por infec??o viral contribui para a hiper-reatividade br?nquica, promovendo aumento da resist?ncia das vias a?reas, posteriormente normalizada. Hip?tese: A defici?ncia marginal de vitamina A pode influenciar a evolu??o da doen?a respirat?ria viral, alterando sua gravidade e dura??o. O objetivo deste trabalho ? avaliar se h? rela??o entre o estado da vitamina A e as altera??es de fun??o pulmonar em pr?-escolares durante uma infec??o de vias a?reas superiores (IVAS). Trata-se de um estudo transversal que avaliou 177 crian?as entre 4 e 6 anos de idade, classificadas em 3 grupos: 1. controle (n = 51); 2. crian?as com sintomas de infec??o de vias a?reas superiores (IVAS) (n = 74): 3. grupo IVAS + crise de sibil?ncia (n= 52). Determinou-se o retinol s?rico e o teste dose-resposta relativa modificado (Modified relative dose response - MRDR) por cromatografia l?quida de alta efici?ncia. Avaliou-se a resist?ncia respirat?ria total pela T?cnica das Oscila??es For?adas (TOF) por Oscilometria de Impulso (IOS). A identifica??o viral foi realizada pela Rea??o em Cadeia da Polimerase. Avaliou-se o estado nutricional atrav?s dos escores-z para Peso/Idade, Altura/Idade, Peso/Altura e ?ndice de Massa Corp?rea/Idade. As m?dias para os ?ndices A/I, P/I, P/A e IMC/Idade foram de -0,29 ? 0,95; 0,22 ? 1,14; 0,56 ? 1,42 e 0,37 ? 0,97, respectivamente. Identificou-se rinovirus em 19,5% (n=23) das crian?as com IVAS. As m?dias de retinol s?rico dos grupos IVAS + crise de sibil?ncia, IVAS e contole foram, respectivamente, 17,5 ? 7,30; 32,1 ? 13,16 e 56,8 ? 29,82?g/dL, com diferen?a significativa do grupo IVAS + crise de sibil?ncia em rela??o aos demais grupos (ANOVA, P< 0,0001). As m?dias de MRDR dos grupos IVAS + crise de sibil?ncia, IVAS e controle foram, respectivamente, 0,021 ? 0,021; 0,065 ? 0,046 e 0,007 ? 0,006 (ANOVA, P < 0,0001). A resist?ncia respirat?ria total no grupo IVAS + crise de sibil?ncia e IVAS (126,0 ? 26,9 e 97,2 ?16,6 por cento do predictor, respectivamente) foi significativamente maior (x2, p < 0,001) que no grupo controle 93,6 ? 18,0. A recupera??o da resist?ncia respirat?ria total do grupo IVAS foi significativa (p < 0,005) quando o MRDR < 0,030 e retinol s?rico ? 20?g/dL, ficando prejudicada quando a situa??o era de MRDR > 0,030 e retinol s?rico < 20?g/dL. A recupera??o da resist?ncia respirat?ria total do grupo IVAS + crise de sibil?ncia foi significativa independentemente do valor do retinol ou do MRDR (p < 0,001). Os controles tinham MRDR < 0,030. Os resultados indicam que 65% das crian?as do grupo IVAS + crise de sibil?ncia apresentam reservas hep?ticas de vitamina A adequadas e retinol s?rico deficiente/deficiente marginal. A resist?ncia respirat?ria total das crian?as do grupo IVAS com MRDR deficiente, persiste alterada at? tr?s semanas ap?s a fase aguda da infec??o. Em conclus?o, este estudo demonstra que n?veis marginais de vitamina A alteram a resist?ncia respirat?ria, com uma defasagem no tempo de recupera??o p?sinfec??o viral
