Comparison of growth performance of live feed microalgae and rotifer (Brachionus sp.) under different feeding medium in outdoor culture condition
Authors: Nilufa Begum  , M.N.S Mamun Siddiky  , Shawon Ahmmed
Published: February 2021

Live feed is the basic food source and nutrient security for successful seed production of any commercially important aquaculture species of fishes, mollusks and crustaceans. Both plant and animal originated aquatic microscopic organisms are generally termed as live food. They are the basic food items in early stages (larval stage) of life cycle due to small sizes, easy digestibility and enriched in nutrients. The Nannochloropsis sp.; Nannochlorum sp. and Tetraselmis sp. are rich with relatively high content of essential fatty acids in comparison to other marine algae. Likelihood, the rotifer Brachionus sp. is ideal feed item for brackishwater finfish and mud crab larvae rearing due to its special features like rapid reproduction, slow movement, suitable size and easy digestion by the newly hatched larvae. The present study is the report on comparison of growth performance of live feed (microalgae and rotifer) in outdoor culture condition. The study was conducted at the hatchery complex of Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, Brackishwater Station, Paikgacha, Khulna. In outdoor culture condition the growth pattern obtained for three microalgae were Tetraselmis sp.> Nannochlorum sp.> Nannochloropsis sp. Highest average growth 6.87×106±1.97×106, 6.91×106±1.69×106 and 6.23×106±1.53×106 was observed for Nannochloropsis sp., Nannochlorum sp. and Tetraselmis sp. respectively in trial 3. Average growth of rotifer (Brachionus sp.) found highest 189±18.10 ind./ml at combined media of yeast and microalgae and lowest growth 119.67±17.60 ind./ml noticed with baker's yeast media. Nannochloropsis sp. contains more energy among all microalgae but Tetraselmis sp. carry highest level of protein. The highest level of protein 56.3±0.18% found in rotifer enriched with microalgae+fish oil and lowest protein content noticed with microalgae enrichment media. So, research finding suggests that, treatment T3 would be the best recommendations for rotifer culture.

Comparison of Two Hair Removal Methods in Sprague–Dawley Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Authors: Rowley Nicole L , Ramos-Rivera Elliot , Raiciulescu Sorana , Lee Sang H , Christy Amanda C
Published: February 2021

Rats commonly undergo surgery for research purposes. However, the effects of different methods of hair removal on wound healing and surgical site infections (SSI) in rats has not been evaluated. The current study evaluated 2 hair removal methods, clipping with an electric clipper and
using a depilatory agent, and their effect on wound healing and SSI. Swabs for bacterial culture were obtained on Day 0 just after hair removal, after aseptic skin preparation, and on Days 1 and 3 before conducting skin biopsies to assess bacterial load and recolonization. Full-thickness punch
biopsies were taken for histopathologic evaluation on Days 0, 1, 3, 7, and 10. The surgical incisions were assigned an ASEPSIS score on Days 1 and 3. The data revealed that the bacterial load was significantly higher with the depilatory method as compared with the clipper method, but only
on Day 1. The histopathologic evaluation found no significant difference in wound healing between the 2 methods. Although the ASEPSIS score was significantly higher for the clipping method than for the depilatory method on Day 1, both techniques were equivalent by Day 3. We conclude that both
hair removal methods are safe and efficacious components of aseptic technique in rats.

Report of an experience: self-study to foster self-regulated learning for International Dental Degree Program (IDDP) students in Canada
Authors: Grazziotin-Soares Renata , Doig Peter , Ardenghi Diego Machado
Published: February 2021

Este artigo objetivou descrever brevemente uma experiência com a metodologia de estudo autônomo realizada no Programa de Graduação Internacional de Odontologia (IDDP) em uma Universidade no Canadá. Esta abordagem encorajou o aprendizado autorregulado dos estudantes. Devido à pandemia COVID-19 as aulas “on-site” da faculdade de odontologia foram descontinuadas. Os estudantes do programa IDDP eram permitidos frequentar o prédio da faculdade somente para realizar as atividades pré-clínicas (e eram supervisionados por apenas um professor de cada vez). Como a turma de 2020 do programa IDDP era pequena (2 alunos), o diretor do programa e os professores consideraram que o estudo autônomo seria uma ideia apropriada. Percebeu-se que os estudantes tiveram sucesso em autorregular o aprendizado. Como por exemplo: usaram suas anotações, monitoraram a compreensão do material teórico disponibilizado, fizeram perguntas etc. A experiência com os estudantes do programa IDDP mostrou que a oportunidade de estudo autônomo se caracterizou como um ambiente favorável para os professores usarem nas disciplinas pré-clínicas.
La necesaria doble aproximación a la gestación subrogada
Authors: Sánchez Jordán María Elena
Published: February 2021

En este trabajo se aborda, desde una doble perspectiva, el estudio de algunas de las cuestiones problemáticas que plantea la gestación por sustitución. Desde el plano negocial, y con apoyo en la teoría general del contrato, se analiza un aspecto frecuentemente descuidado en el estudio de la materia, como es el relativo a los contratos celebrados para lograr el nacimiento de un niño o niña a través de maternidad subrogada (entre los comitentes y la agencia intermediaria, por un lado, y entre la madre gestante y esos mismos comitentes, por otro), con especial atención a los casos que han sido decididos por las Audiencias provinciales en supuestos en los que no se logra el resultado pactado. Desde el ámbito registral, se examina uno de los problemas que en tal sede suscita este fenómeno —el relativo a la inscripción de la filiación de los nacidos en el extranjero como consecuencia del recurso a la gestación subrogada— que ha encontrado respuesta (casi siempre) a través de las resoluciones e Instrucciones de la Dirección General de los Registros y del Notariado.

Published: February 2021

This literary work seeks to highlight the importance of the public school as a real and effective possibility in facing contemporary socioenvironmental problems, using urban parks as non-formal educational spaces for the teaching of Environmental Sciences (ES), especially in Youth and Adult Education (EJA). Among the main intentions proposed in the construction of this material, we highlight the intention to stimulate and intensify Environmental Education (EE) in schools; as well as strengthening the idea and the need for the teaching and learning of ES to be thought beyond the walls of the school, in non-formal learning spaces, such as, for example, forests, squares and urban parks. Other objectives related to the production of this material, refer to the need to establish and strengthen the bond of affection and belonging between human beings and nature. As a theoretical and methodological support, the ebook also provides indications for research in EE and the teaching of ES; suggestions for published books on EE; sites related to the environment and EE; examples of pedagogical practices developed by EJA educators, which were designed as suggestions for teaching ES in natural areas and built in the urban environment.Our wish is that this material, specially designed for you teacher, can contribute significantly to your pedagogical praxis, and that this material serves at least as an inspiring source for many other future pratices in the field of EE and in teaching. for ES.
ВПЛИВ МІНЕРАЛЬНОГО ЖИВЛЕННЯ НА ПРОДУКТИВНІСТЬ СОЇ

Published: February 2021

У статті обґрунтовано актуальність поєднання в системі удобрення сої фосфорно-калійних та азотних добрив для реалізації її генетичного потенціалу. Метою дослідження є встановити оптима-льно обґрунтовані дози застосування азотних добрив. Дослідження з вивчення ефективності різних доз азотних добрив під час вирощування сої проводили в тимчасовому досліді з триразовим рендомізова-ним розміщенням варіантів. Використовувалися такі форми мінеральних добрив: аміачна селітра, суперфосфат гранульований і калій хлористий. Фосфорні та калійні добрива вносили під основний обробіток ґрунту, а азотні – навесні під передпосівну культивацію. Закладання польових дослідів, відбір рослинних і ґрунтових зразків, спостереження та дослідження проводили згідно з рекоменда-ціями і методичними вказівками останніх років. Результати досліджень показали, що застосування азотних добрив є головним чинником, що впливає на реалізацію генетичного потенціалу продуктив-ності сої та дає змогу зменшити витрати вологи на формування одиниці врожаю. Внесення азотних добрив (N60) та (N90) на фосфорно-калійному фоні (Р60К60) дозволяє зменшити на 34–39 % витрати вологи на формування одиниці врожаю порівняно з варіантом без добрив. Внесення азотних добрив (N30-90 на фоні Р60К60) збільшує вміст нітратного і амонійного азоту в шарах ґрунту 0–20 і 20–40 см у межах від 1,1 до 4,7 % відповідно. Мінеральні добрива досить позитивно вплинули на біометричні показники рослин сої. Найкращими виявилися варіанти, де азотні добрива застосовувалися на фоні фосфорно-калійних. Спостерігається тенденція до покращення відповідних показників за умови збі-льшення дози азотних добрив. Найвища врожайність насіння сої, в середньому за роки проведення досліджень 25,5 ц/га, формується на варіанті із внесенням азоту в дозі N90. Перевищення порівняно з варіантом без добрив становить 7,6 ц/га або 42 %. Розбіжність за цим показником на варіантах, де вносили N30 і N60, становить 1,6 ц/га. Виявлено позитивний вплив внесення мінеральних добрив на по-казники якості насіння сої. Максимальний вміст білка в зерні сої (38,2 %) виявлено на варіанті із вне-сенням по фону азотних добрив у дозі 90 кг/га д. р. Цей же варіант характеризувався і найвищим його виходом з одиниці площі – 9,7 ц/га. Найвищий вміст жиру (22,0 %) у зерні сої встановлено у ва-ріанті без внесення добрив. Покращення умов мінерального живлення шляхом внесення азотних доб-рив сприяло зниженню його вмісту до 20,1 %.

Self-reported impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, affective responding, and subjective well-being - A Swedish survey
Authors: Gröndal Maria , Ask Karl , Luke Timothy John , Winblad Stefan
Published: February 2021

A rapid stream of research confirms that the COVID-19 pandemic is a global threat to mental health and psychological well-being. It is therefore important to identify both hazardous and protective individual factors during the pandemic. The current research exaplored the relationships between self-reported affective responding, perceived personal consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, and subjective well-being. An online survey (N = 471) conducted in Sweden between June and September, 2020, showed that higher levels of irritability, impulsivity, and the tendency to experience and express anger were generally associated with more severe personal consequences of the pandemic, particularly in areas related to family life, work/study, and finances. While more severe impacts of the pandemic in these areas of life were directly associated with lower subjective well-being, emotion regulation through cognitive reappraisal appeared to moderate the extent to which consequences of the pandemic in other areas of life (i.e., social, free-time and physical activities) translated into decreased well-being. This suggests that cognitive reappraisal may serve to protect against some of the debilitating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health. Overall, the results indicate that the perceived consequences of the pandemic are multifaceted and that future research should examine these consequences using a multidimensional approach.
Perceptions of Political Deviants in the U.S. Democratic and Republican Parties
Authors: Kulibert Danica , Moss Aaron J , Appleby Jacob , O'Brien Laurie
Published: February 2021

People who deviate from group norms pose problems for their ingroup, but not all forms are deviance are equivalent. Four experiments (N=1,063) investigated whether people hold a lay understanding of these subjective group dynamics by assessing people’s beliefs about how others would perceive two types of deviants within U.S. political parties—political moderates and extremes. Participants thought both Democrats (Experiment 1) and Republicans (Experiment 2) would view moderate political candidates more negatively (e.g., less loyal, less principled, less typical, and more likely to defect) than extreme candidates. Moreover, these relatively negative evaluations of moderates extended to rank and file members of the Democratic (Experiment 3) and Republican (Experiment 4) Parties. These findings suggest that people intuitively understand subjective group dynamics and, when applied to politics, this understanding may have important consequences for how people with moderate and extreme beliefs engage in political discourse.
Thou Shalt Not Kill, Unless It Is Not a Human: Target Dehumanization May Influence Decision Difficulty and Response Patterns for Moral Dilemmas
Authors: Bai Hui , Euh Hyun , Federico Christopher , Borgida Eugene
Published: February 2021

Past research on moral dilemmas has thoroughly investigated the roles of personality and situational variables, but the role of targets in moral dilemmas has been relatively neglected. This paper presents findings from four experiments that manipulate the perceived dehumanization of targets in moral dilemmas. Studies 1, 2 and 4 suggest that dehumanized targets may render the decision easier, and with less emotion. Findings from Studies 1 and 3, though not Studies 2 and 4, show that dehumanization of targets in dilemmas may lead participants to make less deontological judgments. Study 3, but not Study 4, suggests that it is potentially because dehumanization has an effect on reducing deontological, but not utilitarian judgments. Though the patterns are somewhat inconsistent across studies, overall, results suggest that targets’ dehumanization can play a role in how people make their decisions in moral dilemmas.
The relationship between sensory reactivity differences and mental health symptoms in children with neurodevelopmental conditions and their neurotypical peers
Authors: Rossow Timothy , Marco Elysa J , Gerdes Molly , Tavassoli Teresa
Published: February 2021

Background: Children with neurodevelopmental conditions (NDC) often have sensory reactivity differences, such as being overwhelmed by sounds, which can elicit distress in their everyday life. Furthermore, children with an NDC often present with a greater frequency of mental health symptoms compared to their typically developing peers. However little research has examined the relationship of these sensory reactivity differences on broader mental health. Aims: This study set out to explore the relationship between sensory reactivity and mental health symptoms. Methods: Data from parent-reported measures of sensory reactivity and mental health symptoms were collected for 49 children presenting with a neurodevelopmental condition and 42 typically developing (TD) controls. Procedures: Partial correlational analyses, controlling for IQ, were used to elucidate the relationship between sensory reactivity and mental health symptoms. Results: Children with an NDC were significantly more likely to present with a sensory reactivity difference or mental health symptom. Sensory seeking was found to be the sensory subtype most related to mental health symptoms, especially in externalising conditions. There was evidence also found for a relationship between depression, sensory seeking and sensory hypo-reactivity, and GAD and hyper-reactivity. Conclusions: Findings suggest a relationship between sensory reactivity and mental health symptoms in children with a neurodevelopmental condition. There is also preliminary evidence of unique sensory-based profiles of mental health. Implications: Assessment of sensory difficulties as part of more rigorous mental health assessments within mental health services will support more accurate diagnoses and intervention.
Dynamic Change in Socio-Emotional Development during Childhood and Adolescence
Authors: Speyer Lydia Gabriela , Hall Hildigunnur Anna , Ushakova Anastasia , Luciano Michelle , Murray Aja Louise , Auyeung Bonnie
Published: February 2021

Objective: Adolescence is a crucial period in the development of psychopathology with nearly 1 in 5 adolescents suffering from a mental health disorder. In addition, more than 40 percent of adolescents with a lifetime psychiatric disorder are estimated to suffer from a co-occurring mental health disorder. Mechanisms underlying the development of comorbidities are still not well understood. Method: Graphical Vector Autoregression models were used to analyse the temporal, contemporaneous and between-person relations of socio-emotional strengths difficulties in early childhood compared to adolescence. Mental health and related socio-emotional traits were measured longitudinally at ages 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, and 16 in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (N = 11279) using the subscales of the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaires (conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention, emotional symptoms, peer problems and prosociality). Results: Results suggest that the period of adolescence is characterised by many more dynamic relations between socio-emotional difficulties than the early childhood period. In particular, the adolescence model highlights bidirectional connections between conduct problems and peer problems as well as between peer problems and emotional problems. The childhood model indicates that conduct problems and prosociality share a reciprocal relation. It further suggests peer problems as a potential mediating factor between conduct problems and emotional difficulties. Conclusion: This study emphasises that the different domains of psychosocial functioning dynamically influence each other over- and within-time. Adolescence is characterised by an increase in temporal connections reflecting the increased vulnerability to the onset of mental health problems during that period.
Between the Devil and Lying Angels: An Invitation for a New Perspective on State Interference in Local Government Fiscal Autonomy in Nigeria
Authors: Onuoha Chijioke Basil , Ufomba Henry , Bassey Ebong Itoro
Published: February 2021

One of the most contested issues in Nigeria’s political landscape and federal structure is the debate on the fiscal autonomy of the Local Government as the third tier of government. The literature on the subject appears to zero down the issue of Local Government fiscal autonomy to a political ‘devil’. The position of existing scholarship on the subject concludes that by taking advantage of Sections 7 and 162 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, it is common practice for the State Governors to usurp the autonomy of the Local Governments. The Governors are also accused of using the Joint Account framework to control the statutory allocations of the Local Governments. Hence, Local Governments in Nigeria lacks fiscal autonomy which is one of the main principles of the three tiers of government structure. However, the underlying politics that has played out in the Fourth Republic in Nigeria reveals that this historical and legalistic perception does not provide a complete explanation of the problem. This is because the literature does not consider the role of the political elite at the Local Government level in sustaining the shrewd nature of State and Local Governments interaction in Nigeria’s Federal structure, rather the existing literature focused entirely on the governor as a ‘devil’ and ignores the role of the political class at the grassroots level as “lying angels”. This paper is therefore an invitation for a deeper theoretical deconstruction of this phenomenon to stimulate an encompassing and interesting perceptive on what we conceptualize as State-Local Government Interactions in Nigeria (SLIN). Our primary objective is to draw attention to the role of the personalities of the political class at the grassroots level which makes up the highest cadre of the hierarchy in the Local Government in shaping SLIN. We present a case that future debates should go beyond “devil” and also focus on the profound role of “lying angels”.
The Effect of Lexical Inference Strategy Instruction on Saudi EFL learners’ Reading Comprehension
Authors: Hamouda Arafat
Published: February 2021

Lexical inference strategy plays an important role in increasing the level of reading comprehension of second or foreign language learners. Lexical inferencing as an efficient strategy to deal with unfamiliar words has attracted much attention in the comprehension literature. However, few studies on lexical inferencing have been conducted in an English as a foreign language (EFL) setting. To fill in the existing gap, the current study aimed at investigating the effect of lexical inferencing strategy instruction on Saudi EFL students’ reading comprehension. Additionally, it sought to identify the lexical inferencing strategies used by Saudi EFL learners while they were inferring unknown words in a text. Last, the current study attempted to find the relationship between lexical inference strategies and reading comprehension among Saudi EFL learners. Sixty students from the English department were selected based on their scores on the Oxford Placement Test, indicating that they were at intermediate levels of English proficiency. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: control and experimental (each consisting of 30 students). The participants in the control group received regular instruction, while the participants in the experimental group were treated using lexical inference strategies. The instruments used for collecting data were Oxford Placement Test, reading comprehension test, and think-aloud protocol. A pre-test and post-test were administered for control and experimental groups. The results of the independent samples t-test revealed that teaching inference skills had a significant effect on reading comprehension performance among EFL learners. The results of the paired t-tests showed that lexical inferencing instruction had a statistically significant effect on EFL learners’ reading comprehension development. The results of the Spearman correlation coefficient indicated that there was a significant relationship between lexical inferencing strategies and reading comprehension. The findings revealed the profound impact of lexical inferencing strategy instruction on the experimental group's performance in understanding reading text. Hence, it was concluded that lexical inferencing strategies were recommended to teach to improve the students’ reading comprehension performance.

Safeguarding Settler Colonialism in Geneva: Canada, Indigenous Rights, and ilo Convention No. 107 on the Protection and Integration of Indigenous Peoples (1957)
Authors: Meren David
Published: February 2021

This article explores the intersecting of liberal internationalism and settler colonialism by tracing the Canadian governmental response to the emergence of International Labour Organisation (ilo) Convention 107 (1957) and Recommendation 104 (1957), the first international treaties regarding the rights of Indigenous Peoples in independent states. Drawing upon the archives of the ilo, Canada’s Department of External Affairs and Department of Citizenship and Immigration, notably the latter’s Indian Affairs Branch, the article investigates the convergence of mid-twentieth-century notions of Indigenous rights and the global phenomenon of “development.” It also explores how, amid anti-colonial resistance, decolonization, and an emerging international human rights regime, settler states responded, not least by seeking to blunt if not defeat the ilo initiative. In addition to yielding greater understanding of the origins and emergence of the ilo instruments, this analysis contributes to critical interrogations of Canadian liberal internationalism by revealing how Canadian settler preoccupations were projected abroad and shaped the international system’s evolving treatment of Indigenous Peoples. It also offers a different perspective on Canadian Indian policy by revealing the “global” dimension of an allegedly “domestic” question. Finally, the article highlights a parallel history of Indigenous internationalism speaking back to a world order constructed on Indigenous displacement and dispossession.

Annotation. The modern education system is characterized by the introduction of the latest technologies and educational projects, accompanied by an increase in information and emotional load, which is accompanied by a decrease in the efficiency and quality of work, determined by the level and dynamics of mental performance. The purpose of the study – to determine the impact of the organization of the educational process in primary school on the mental capacity of students in the study of subjects of varying difficulty. The study involved 112 secondary school students, divided into 3 groups depending on the curriculum. With the help of proofreading tests, the level and dynamics of mental performance was determined in a cycle of studying 3 subjects: mathematics, Ukrainian language, history. In parallel, self-assessment of psycho-emotional state was performed according to the method of SAN and pulse measurement. Statistical data processing was performed using one-way analysis of variance and t-test in the software package IBM SPSS Statistics v.20. It was found that the educational program affected the level of mental performance (F=106.7), heart rate (F=25,2) and well-being (F=4,5; p<0,05). Quantitative (382.31±5.46 characters) and qualitative (7.60±0.28 errors) indicators were better in girls (p<0.01). The maximum decrease in the volume and quality of work was determined after the history lesson (respectively by 27.65±7.24 characters and 3.35±0.49 errors; p<0.001). In the dynamics of the study of subjects there was a decrease in mental capacity against the background of a decrease in health to 1.9 points (p<0.05) and an increase in heart rate to 92.13±2.82 beats/min (p<0.001). The study of mathematics according to the experimental educational project was accompanied by the highest percentage of students with the preservation or increase of the level of mental capacity, and according to the traditional program – its decrease in the vast majority of students. When studying the Ukrainian language and history, no significant difference between the types of changes in mental performance under the conditions of implementation of different curricula has been established. Thus, the optimal organization of the educational process, especially in the study of heavy subjects, helps to preserve and restore mental performance and, consequently, reduce signs of fatigue, which guarantees not only a sufficient level of academic success, but also less depletion of functional reserves of the child's body and reducing the risk of school maladjustment.
A tradução dos nomes das personagens bíblicas para a língua brasileira de sinais: analisando o manual o clamor do silêncio
Authors: Rech Gabriele Cristine
Published: February 2021

A Onomástica é uma vertente da Lexicologia que estuda os nomes próprios de pessoas (antropônimos), bem como os nomes próprios de lugares (topônimos). Enquanto campo científico, dialoga com outras áreas do conhecimento, por exemplo, os Estudos da Tradução. As línguas de sinais, tal qual as demais línguas orais, também nomeiam os nomes próprios, em consonância às suas características visuais-espaciais, por meio do que chamamos de “sinais de nome”. A partir de uma vertente exploratória (GIL, 2008), analisaremos 92 sinais de nomes de personagens bíblicas, extraídos do Manual do Clamor do Silêncio (1991), com o objetivo de evidenciar como foram traduzidos para a Língua Brasileira de Sinais – Libras. Como referencial teórico recorre aos estudos de: Nord (2003), que investiga a tradução de nomes próprios; Bailey (2007),com estudos voltados à tradução de nomes bíblicos; Barros (2018), que propõe uma taxonomia para os sinais de nome na Libras e do antropólogo Assis-Silva (2012), que analisa as práticas religiosas e suas interferências na história da Língua Brasileira de Sinais. A partir das constatações feitas por Barros (2018), a qual identificou uma preferência em atribuir um sinal de nome motivado pelo nome na Língua Portuguesa, acrescido de outra característica física, buscouse verificar se na tradução dos sinais bíblicos o mesmo aconteceria. Como resultado constatou-se que praticamente todos os sinais de nome utilizam a primeira letra do nome em Língua Portuguesa seguidos de outras motivações como acontecimentos que marcaram a biografia ou o papel/profissão desempenhado pelas personagens analisadas.
A aquisição das apontações pronominais pessoais em língua brasileira de sinais – Libras

Published: February 2021

Este é um estudo de caso, situado no campo dos estudos inatistas chomskyanos, que se propõe a realizar uma descrição do processo de aquisição das apontações pronominais pessoais em língua brasileira de sinais. Para tanto, situamos nossos resultados em paralelo aos de Hatzopoulou (2008) para língua grega de sinais, Petitto (1987) para a língua americana de sinais (ASL) e Magalhães (2006) para os pronomes em português, no que tange aos estágios apresentados no período de aquisição por essas línguas. Os dados analisados foram provenientes de produção espontânea de uma criança surda, filha de pais surdos, coletados longitudinalmente do período de um ano e sete meses a três anos e três meses de idade. Os dados foram transcritos e analisados por meio do software ELAN 5.1. Selecionamos para análise as apontações pronominais pessoais realizadas em posição argumental na sentença. Nossos resultados sugerem uma antecipação do início das produções pronominais pessoais em língua de sinais em relação ao português.
Gírias na língua de sinais brasileira e seus contextos de uso
Authors: Cruz Cristiano Pimentel , Carneiro Bruno Gonçalves , Andrade Karylleila dos Santos
Published: February 2021

Este artigo é uma pesquisa sobre o uso de gírias por um grupo de surdos, na cidade de Palmas - TO, que interage através da rede social WhatsApp. Nesta pesquisa, fizemos o levantamento de dezenove gírias e descrevemos o perfil dos participantes, as regras de manutenção do grupo e o processo de criação dos sinais. O suporte teórico e metodológico utilizado para este estudo foi dos autores Preti (2000a; 2000b; 2003; 2013) e Murata (2008), sobre as gírias enquanto prática de linguagem de resistência, oposição e proteção. No grupo, a troca de informações acontece em libras (vídeo) e não há participação de ouvintes. Segundo os participantes, as gírias surgem como formas: (i) de entretenimento e humor, em um ambiente em que estão à vontade em relação à língua e aos temas abordados, (ii) de resistência, numa oposição às experiências negativas frente à sociedade majoritária e (iii) de proteção e sigilo, frente aos ouvintes sinalizantes e a outros surdos membros da comunidade surda. As gírias são categorizadas em: (i) sinais inéditos, (ii) sinais com parâmetros modificados (configuração de mão) para expressar intensidade, (iii) sinais com parâmetros modificados (orientação da palma) para indicar ironia e (iv) sinais com parâmetros modificados (ponto de articulação) para evidenciar a modalidade gestual-visual das línguas de sinais. Os resultados da pesquisa também indicam que o processo de criação das gírias envolve a lexicalização de ações gestuais, originando sinais altamente icônicos, e a alteração de unidades sub-lexicais, caracterizando os parâmetros como fonomorfemas.
Reference switching in sign and speech: grammatical and discourse features across modalities within signed-to-spoken language interpretation
Authors: Quinto-Pozos David , Quadros Ronice , Maynard Blake
Published: February 2021

Human languages contain a variety of tools for referencing agents, locations, arguments of predicates, and other entities that are introduced, described, and attributed actions within sentences. While there are similarities across modalities, there also exist notable differences. For example, signed languages are articulated with two hands, and sometimes one of them serves referencing functions while the other produces complementary signs. Additionally, signers use role shift and constructed action extensively, whereas there is comparatively less use of reported speech and co-speech enactment in spoken language discourse. Differences across modalities such as these provide areas of focus for studies of interpretation, since a common theoretical premise is that interpreters should disengage from the form of a source-language message in order to provide the meaning in the target language (with its own form). It is open to debate whether an interpretation can achieve complete semantic equivalence, given differences in the grammars, lexical items, and discourse features of the source- and target-languages. We use Libras texts interpreted into Brazilian Portuguese to examine various types of referencing in language and how it occurs in such texts. Our analysis is intended to raise questions about referencing and interpretation that merit in-depth study.---Original in English.
