Long Covid is a term used for patients who have recovered from COVID-19 but exhibit persistent cognitive dysfunction, including mental confusion, difficulties in attention, impairment in executive functions and slow movements, among other common symptoms. A study was conducted with 65 patients who had a positive RT-PCR diagnosis and reported symptoms of cognitive impairment, such as memory loss and attention difficulties after recovery. The patients underwent neuropsychological evaluation and completed questionnaires on cognition, mood, and quality of life. During the cognitive screening, 71% of the patients showed alterations, with deficits in visual memory (69%), language (54%), visuospatial construction (49%), verbal episodic memory (37%), executive functions (36%), attentional abilities (34%), and premorbid intelligence (12%). It is important to highlight the need for treatments and further studies to understand the long-term side effects of this disease.

Esta pesquisa se propõe ao exame dos processos significacionais constituídos entre a televisão e os brinquedos-personagem a partir do desenho animado Meninas Superpoderosas (The Powerpuff Girls). Tal análise busca reconhecer o brinquedo contemporâneo como um objeto de comunicação capaz de traduzir fatores socioculturais contextualizados na atual sociedade midiática. Para tanto, faz-se uso dos sistemas significantes e mecanismos de articulação de sentidos da semiótica discursiva e da relação entre os níveis do conteúdo e de expressão, segundo fundamentos da Teoria Semiótica Plástica.
