Full text linkTCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Letras LibrasA presente pesquisa busca investigar, por meio de questionário, a atuação e o papel desempenhado pelo intérprete de Libras-Português na esfera jurídica. A investigação, realizada na cidade de Florianópolis, em Santa Catarina, no início de 2018, mapeia os principais desafios que permeiam a interpretação nessa esfera. Além disso, procura entender as demandas existentes hoje e a possível especialização nessa área. À luz de Russel (2002), Mathers (2007), Fonseca (2007) e Santos (2016), com as contribuições de outros autores que abordam mais especificamente a área dos estudos da interpretação jurídica, busca-se elucidar algumas questões inerentes a esse estudo e aprofundar-se na temática para embasar o estudo, são usados exemplos comparativos, inclusive de outros países, que revelam os desafios dessa esfera e trazem à tona uma reflexão sobre a profissionalização de intérpretes por contextos específicos, como especializações. A pesquisa de base qualitativa fornece material representativo capaz de auxiliar intérpretes e comunidade surda em geral no entendimento dos desafios inerentes à interpretação no contexto jurídico. Por fim, as respostas coletadas pelos participantes da pesquisa indicam um caminho para reflexão focado na formação de intérpretes de Libras-Português por área ou contexto, ressaltando especificidades importantes do contexto jurídico em questão e, ainda, promovendo uma discussão sobre as dificuldades encontradas nessa área de atuação.This research aims at investigating, by the use of questionnaires, the performance and role played by Portuguese - Brazilian Sign Language interpreter in the justice area. The investigation took place in the city of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, in the first months of 2018 and it maps the main challenges surrounding the interpretation in this field. Besides, it searches an understanding of the current and future needs and a possible future specialization in legal interpretation. Based on Russell (2002), Mathers (2007), Fonseca (2007) and Santos 2016), as well as other authors who cope specifically with the legal interpreting studies, it seeks to clarify many issues implicated in this study and to deepen this topic. In order to establish this study, comparative examples are used, including examples from other countries. These examples reveal the challenges interpreters face in legal contexts and bring up a reflection upon interpreter professionalization, like specialization courses, specially for specific contexts. This is a research with qualitative basis and it offers a representative material for interpreters and the deaf community in general reach an understanding about the challenges involved in the justice interpretation. At last, the answers collected from the research participants indicate a way towards a reflection more focused on Portuguese - Brazilian Sign Language interpreters’ training for areas or contexts, highlighting important specificities from the legal context in question and, also, promoting a discussion about the difficulties confronted in this area of work
REFLEXÕES CARTOGRÁFICAS DE UM TRADUTOR DE ARTEFATOS BILÍNGUES EM LIBRAS: MULTIMODALIDADE E TRADUÇÃO
Full text linkEsta investigação apresenta as reflexões de um tradutor, autor da pesquisa, sob a perspectiva metodológica da autoetnografia - teorias e práticas - num encontro de três grandes áreas de estudo: tradução (HOLMES, 1988), educação de surdos (SKLIAR, 2013) e multimodalidade (KRESS, 2010) e suas intersecções autonarrativas com o fazer diário de traduzir e criar materiais didáticos bilíngues para a educação de surdos. A proposta visa aliar essas teorias e à práxis do tradutor para fomentar novas reflexões advindas de uma visão macro dos processos tradutórios educacionais, dos aspectos criativos da tradução e seus agentes, para além do tradutor. Além disso, convida a repensar as metodologias canônicas monomodais de concepção de pesquisa no campo da tradução e incentivar um olhar múltiplo, especialmente imagético, para produzir ciência pelo uso de linguagens outras
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Intérpretes de libras-português: dificuldades e desafios no contexto jurídico
Full text linkIn Brazil, academic productions or professionalization initiatives aimed at interpreters of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) - Portuguese, in the legal sphere, are still incipient. Considering this context, this research investigates the main difficulties and challenges faced by professionals who work in the interpreting services of Libras-Portuguese, offered in the legal system of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. In order to reach this objective, we adopted a qualitative approach, exploratory in nature, having as instrument a questionnaire applied to a group of ten interpreters. Theoretical references from the field of legal interpretation studies were used, and the research results, by highlighting the contexts of performance and the difficulties faced by interpreters, can provide subsidies for better planning and practice of professionalization of interpreters working in the legal field.No Brasil, produções acadêmicas ou iniciativas de profissionalização voltadas a intérpretes de Libras-Português na esfera jurídica ainda são incipientes. Considerando tal contexto, esta pesquisa investiga algumas das dificuldades e desafios enfrentados pelos profissionais que atuam nos serviços de interpretação de Libras-Português, oferecidos pelo sistema judiciário de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. Para atingir tal objetivo, foi adotada a abordagem qualitativa, de cunho exploratório, tendo como instrumento um questionário aplicado a um grupo de dez intérpretes. Foram utilizados referenciais teóricos da área dos estudos da interpretação jurídica e os resultados da pesquisa, ao evidenciarem os contextos de atuação e as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos intérpretes, podem oferecer subsídios para melhor planejamento e prática da profissionalização de intérpretes de Libras-Português que atuam no campo jurídico
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
