Creators: name: Ferreira De Castro, Carla
Publisher: name: POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP
Year: 2019

description: This Is England is social realist film portraying racism and poverty in 1980s Britain through the eyes of Shaun, a 12 year old boy, who has lost his father in the Falklands war and as to come to terms with his own identity, the difficult transition from childhood to adolescence and the need to fit in a determined group/tribe/gang. The following article aims at analysing relevant aspects depicted from the film emphasizing the so much debated reality of life during 80s. In This is England Shane Meadows manages to rediscover his own self geography, by revisiting his adolescent years. It is a biographical film about the importance of peer pressure and the results of an excess of nationalism, at the same time it typifies some issues related to the 80s youth culture.

description: Introduction: Differentiating between sterile inflammation and bacterial infection in critically ill patients with fever and other signs of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) remains a clinical challenge. The objective of our study was to mine an existing genome-wide expression database for the discovery of candidate diagnostic biomarkers to predict the presence of bacterial infection in critically ill children. Methods: Genome-wide expression data were compared between patients with SIRS having negative bacterial cultures (n = 21) and patients with sepsis having positive bacterial cultures (n = 60). Differentially expressed genes were subjected to a leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) procedure to predict SIRS or sepsis classes. Serum concentrations of interleukin-27 (IL-27) and procalcitonin (PCT) were compared between 101 patients with SIRS and 130 patients with sepsis. All data represent the first 24 hours of meeting criteria for either SIRS or sepsis. Results: Two hundred twenty one gene probes were differentially regulated between patients with SIRS and patients with sepsis. The LOOCV procedure correctly predicted 86% of the SIRS and sepsis classes, and Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3 (EBI3) had the highest predictive strength. Computer-assisted image analyses of gene-expression mosaics were able to predict infection with a specificity of 90% and a positive predictive value of 94%. Because EBI3 is a subunit of the heterodimeric cytokine, IL-27, we tested the ability of serum IL-27 protein concentrations to predict infection. At a cut-point value of ≥5 ng/ml, serum IL-27 protein concentrations predicted infection with a specificity and a positive predictive value of >90%, and the overall performance of IL-27 was generally better than that of PCT. A decision tree combining IL-27 and PCT improved overall predictive capacity compared with that of either biomarker alone. Conclusions: Genome-wide expression analysis has provided the foundation for the identification of IL-27 as a novel candidate diagnostic biomarker for predicting bacterial infection in critically ill children. Additional studies will be required to test further the diagnostic performance of IL-27. The microarray data reported in this article have been deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus under accession number GSE4607.

description: O presente artigo tem por alvo a apresentação do estudo da tradição do género da obra de Diogo Manuel Aires de Azevedo, intitulada Portugal ilustrado pelo sexo feminino, notícia histórica de muitas heroínas portuguesas que floreceram em virtude, letras e armas, publicada em Lisboa, em 1734. O tema abordado por Diogo Azevedo – descrição de inúmeras “vidas” de mulheres portuguesas que se destacaram pelas suas acções notáveis – permite-nos aferir da intenção didáctica e moralizadora da obra e, como tal, inseri-la na longa tradição das biografias femininas, associadas ao relato hagiográfico. A grande divulgação deste género é iniciada por Boccaccio em De mulieribus claris e tem continuidade numa plêiade de autores nacionais e internacionais, tais como Juan Perez de Moya, Frei Luís dos Anjos, Damião de Froes Perym e tantos outros. Propomo-nos apresentar um estudo cujos objectivos se prendem com o desejo de despertar o interesse de um vasto público, especializado ou não, pela leitura de uma obra do séc. XVIII, que pela sua especificidade se reveste de grande interesse literário, histórico e cultural.

description: The formation of moral and legal obligations rests on various epistemological and ontological sources of constructing, justifying and maintaining those types of obligations. This thesis explores those sources utilizing a cultural psychological comparison between two world traditions, Western and Arabo-Islamic. By analyzing cultural differences between specific terms of obligation, knowledge and being, the differences and similarities between moral and legal obligation become clearer. The methodology that I have used has been an interdisciplinary approach. This paper includes the integration of moral, political and legal philosophy, cultural psychology, Islamic legal tradition, natural law tradition, social contract theories, linguistic analysis, hermeneutics, theology, jurisprudence, etc. The main conclusion is that there is a coalescence between the moral and the legal within the Arabo-Islamic tradition, which is embodied within the idea of a covenantal contract. This idea is an amalgamation of moral, legal, and religious authority embodied within a legal contractual relationship that is supplemented by a morally, theologically based covenant within the Arabo-Islamic tradition. This is supported by distinct Arabo-Islamic epistemological concepts related to the ideas of intuition, rationality, legal authority, rights, and moral & legal obligation and ontological concepts related to being, servitude and indebtedness towards a higher monotheistic deity, who is defined by divine, theological attributes. All these concepts contribute to the conflation between the moral and the legal, such that moral and legal obligations isn’t strictly separated within the Arabo-Islamic tradition, as assumed to be within the Western tradition. A case study of free speech and blasphemy is utilized to understand the differences in both types of obligations and traditions. I conclude with implications and future research directions.

description: Background: Prior studies have demonstrated that the distal 1.5 kb of the MMP-1 promoter is fundamental in directing the induction of the MMP-1 gene by cigarette smoke. Methods: To characterize the genetic variants in the MMP-1 cigarette smoke-responsive element, deep re-sequencing of this element was performed on DNA samples from participants in the Lung Health Study. Furthermore, evidence of Sp1 binding to the MMP-1 promoter was assessed using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays and the influence of cigarette smoke exposure on this interaction was evaluated in cultured human small airway epithelial cells. Results: Ten polymorphisms (four novel) were detected in the cigarette smoke-responsive element. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays to assess the protein-DNA interactions at Sp1 sites in the MMP-1 promoter showed increased binding to the Sp1 sites in the cigarette smoke-responsive element in small airway epithelial cells treated with cigarette smoke extract. In contrast, a Sp1 site outside of the element exhibited the opposite effect. None of the polymorphisms were more prevalent in the fast decliners versus the slow decliners (fast decliners = mean −4.14% decline in FEV1% predicted per year vs. decline in FEV1% predicted per year). Conclusions: Sequencing analyses identified four novel polymorphisms within the cigarette smoke-responsive element of the MMP-1 promoter. This study identifies functional activity within the cigarette smoke-responsive element that is influenced by cigarette smoke and examines this region of the promoter within a small patient population.

description: Background: Patient demographic characteristics have been associated with longer emergency department (ED) treatment times, but the influence of psychosocial characteristics has not been assessed. We evaluated whether depression was associated with greater ED length of stay (LOS) in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina (UA) patients presenting to a large metropolitan academic medical center. Methods: We calculated ED LOS for NSTEMI or UA patients enrolled an observational cohort study by taking the difference between ED triage time in the medical record and time of transfer to an inpatient bed from standardized transfer documentation forms. Depression status was defined as current, past, or never by clinical interview and also by self-report on the Beck Depression Inventory. Results: Participants were 120 NSTEMI/UA patients [mean age= 62, 36% women, 56% Hispanic, 26% Black/African American, 40% NSTEMI, mean global registry of acute cardiac events (GRACE) score= 93.9]. Mean ED LOS was 11.6 hours, SD= 8.3. A multiple linear regression model that included the above demographic and clinical variables, and time of presentation to ED, explained 11% of the variance in ED LOS, F (11, 108)= 2.35, p= .01, R2 adj.= .11. Currently depressed patients spent 5.4 more hours (95% CI= .40, 10.4 hours) in the ED on average than patients who had never been depressed. Conclusions: Currently depressed NSTEMI/UA patients are in the ED for an average of 5 hours longer than those who have never been depressed. Further research is needed to identify the reasons for this difference.

description: This is the bibliography for my book Delhi: Pages from a Forgotten History. About the book: The megacity that is today’s Delhi is built upon thick layers of history. For a millennium, Delhi has been at the crossroads of trade, culture, and politics. The stories of its buildings and great historical personalities have been told many times, but this book approaches the past of India’s capital through its literary culture. Over the centuries writing and discussing literature was not just a leisure activity, but how educated people related to one another, a tool for practicing politics and building communities. By focussing on writers and thinkers, we meet a colourful cast of characters only glancingly mentioned in political histories. Many Delhiites today are surprised to learn that the language of their city’s cultural heyday was Persian. Despite first being brought to India by invaders, it eventually became an authentically Indian language used in both administration and literature. Although it was cultivated by an elite, it was also a widely available language of aspiration and opportunity, like English today. It connected India to the wider world, and the Indian Subcontinent, particularly Delhi, was once a place where talented poets and scholars from the whole Persian cultural world—from Turkey to western China—came to make their fortunes. The fact that Persian is effectively a dead language in India today is a barrier for understanding the past, but this book shows that it is much more familiar than we might have thought. The last glimmers of the living culture of Persian in India are fading, but it has a rich afterlife.

description: Objectives;

We previously developed a historical reconstruction model to estimate exposure to airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from traffic back to 1960 for use in case–control studies of breast cancer risk. Here we report the results of four exercises to validate and calibrate the model.

Methods;

Model predictions of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) concentration in soil and carpet dust were tested against measurements collected at subjects’ homes at interview. In addition, predictions of air intake of BaP were compared with blood PAH–DNA adducts. These same soil, carpet, and blood measurements were used for model optimization. In a separate test of the meteorological dispersion part of the model, predictions of hourly concentrations of carbon monoxide from traffic were compared with data collected at a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency monitoring station.

Results;

The data for soil, PAH–DNA adducts, and carbon monoxide concentrations were all consistent with model predictions. The carpet dust data were inconsistent, suggesting possible spatial confounding with PAH-containing contamination tracked in from outdoors or unmodeled cooking sources. BaP was found proportional to other PAHs in our soil and dust data, making it reasonable to use BaP historical data as a surrogate for other PAHs. Road intersections contributed 40–80% of both total emissions and average exposures, suggesting that the repertoire of simple markers of exposure, such as traffic counts and/or distance to nearest road, needs to be expanded to include distance to nearest intersection

description: Alice Dunbar-Nelson (1875-1935) es una escritora de origen afroamericano, pionera en varios géneros literarios, además de destacar como activista social en pro de los derechos civiles de la población negra. Se trata de una autora prácticamente desconocida en lengua castellana, pues tan solo hay un breve texto suyo traducido al español dentro de una antología. El presente ensayo analiza uno de sus sonetos más representativos, también conocido como “Violets”, que alcanzó enorme popularidad desde el momento de su publicación. El dominio que manifiesta la autora de las estructuras métricas y rítmicas, que enlazan con la tradición renacentista inglesa, junto con un magistral dominio del pentámetro yámbico y una simbología singular, hacen de esta composición un ejemplo paradigmático de la poesía de Alice Dunbar-Nelson.

description: Background: Secondhand smoke (SHS) and ambient air pollution (AAP) exposures have been associated with increased prevalence and severity of asthma and DNA modifications of immune cells. In the current study, we examined the association between SHS and AAP with DNA methylation and expression of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) in T cell populations. Methods: Subjects 7–18 years old were recruited from Fresno (high AAP; n = 62) and Stanford, CA (low AAP; n = 40) and divided into SHS-exposed (Fresno: n = 31, Stanford: n = 6) and non-SHS-exposed (nSHS; Fresno: n = 31, Stanford: n = 34) groups. T cells purified from peripheral blood were assessed for levels of DNA methylation and expression of IFN-γ (in effector T cells) or Foxp3 (in regulatory T cells). Results: Analysis showed a significant increase in mean % CpG methylation of IFN-γ and Foxp3 associated with SHS exposure (IFN-γ: FSHS 62.10%, FnSHS 41.29%, p

description: Within the last two decades, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been observed as one of the prime instruments in the process of restructuring the European economies in transition. Many scholars argue that FDI is expected to be a source of valuable technology transfer thus might certainly have positive effects on host country development efforts. Nonetheless, there are no clear-cut findings about the FDI genuine performances in supporting the economic growth, productivity and export improvements within the European transition countries. Using a large and comprehensive data set, we will therefore analyze the linkage between FDI and above mentioned variables, so as to recommend national policy appropriate measures aimed at averting negative and strengthening the positive FDI spillovers.

A partir da projecção daquele método para a ambiência mercantil de uma dada conjuntura, é possível verificar a plasmagem da matriz económica em vigor nas diversas formas de expressão artística ou não artística, nomeadamente a tradução literária. Adoptando uma metodologia comparatista que envolva a intermodalidade, revisito a possibilidade de traduzir literatura sem a interferência de factores políticos e económicos de circunstância, em benefício da preservação da inteligência criativa, da propriedade imaterial individual e universal, sempre que se estiver a traduzir uma realidade ficcional, tal como um texto literário.

description: Background: The availability of over 3000 published genome sequences has enabled the use of comparative genomic approaches to drive the biological function discovery process. Classically, one used to link gene with function by genetic or biochemical approaches, a lengthy process that often took years. Phylogenetic distribution profiles, physical clustering, gene fusion, co-expression profiles, structural information and other genomic or post-genomic derived associations can be now used to make very strong functional hypotheses. Here, we illustrate this shift with the analysis of the DUF71/COG2102 family, a subgroup of the PP-loop ATPase family. Results: The DUF71 family contains at least two subfamilies, one of which was predicted to be the missing diphthine-ammonia ligase (EC 6.3.1.14), Dph6. This enzyme catalyzes the last ATP-dependent step in the synthesis of diphthamide, a complex modification of Elongation Factor 2 that can be ADP-ribosylated by bacterial toxins. Dph6 orthologs are found in nearly all sequenced Archaea and Eucarya, as expected from the distribution of the diphthamide modification. The DUF71 family appears to have originated in the Archaea/Eucarya ancestor and to have been subsequently horizontally transferred to Bacteria. Bacterial DUF71 members likely acquired a different function because the diphthamide modification is absent in this Domain of Life. In-depth investigations suggest that some archaeal and bacterial DUF71 proteins participate in B12 salvage. Conclusions: This detailed analysis of the DUF71 family members provides an example of the power of integrated data-miming for solving important “missing genes” or “missing function” cases and illustrates the danger of functional annotation of protein families by homology alone.

description: Using a state-of-the art combination of density functional theory and impurity solver techniques we present a complete and parameter-free picture of the Kondo effect in the high-spin ($S=3/2$) coordination complex known as Manganese Phthalocyanine adsorbed on the Pb(111) surface. We calculate the correlated electronic structure and corresponding tunnel spectrum and find an asymmetric Kondo resonance, as recently observed in experiments. Contrary to previous claims, the Kondo resonance stems from only one of three possible Kondo channels with origin in the Mn 3d-orbitals, its peculiar asymmetric shape arising from the modulation of the hybridization due to strong coupling to the organic ligand. The spectral signature of the second Kondo channel is strongly suppressed as the screening occurs via the formation of a many-body singlet with the organic part of the molecule. Finally, a spin-1/2 in the 3d-shell remains completely unscreened due to the lack of hybridization of the corresponding orbital with the substrate, hence leading to a spin-3/2 underscreened Kondo effect.

description: The temperature dependence of the ultrasound wave absorption in bulk $p$-Cd$_{0.2}$Hg$_{0.8}$Te crystals free from low-angle grain boundaries has been studied experimentally for the first time in the frequency range 10--55 MHz and the temperature interval 150--300 K, and the corresponding results of measurements are presented. The maximum value of absorption coefficient is found to increase and to shift toward higher temperatures, as the ultrasound frequency grows. The results obtained can be satisfactorily explained in the framework of the Brailsford model, which associates the ultrasound absorption with vibrations of thermally activated dislocation kinks. The characteristic parameters of this model for $p$-Cd$_{0.2}$Hg$_{0.8}$Te are determined; namely, the frequency coefficient $f_{k}\approx $~6\,$\times $\,10$^{\,9}$\,Hz and the kink diffusion activation energy $W_{k}\approx $~0.11\,eV. The dislocation concentration is also evaluated ($α\approx $~2\,$\times$\,10$^{10}$\,m$^{-2}$), with the determined value being consistent with that obtained by the selective etching method (0.7\,$\times $\,10$^{10}$\,m$^{-2}$).

description: Geography presents interesting and intricate trade-offs between empirical data and demands, on the one hand, and deep philosophical issues (from ontology to political philosophy), on the other. What is a geographic entity? What is the relationship between a geographic entity and a physical territory? Can a geographic entity survive without a territory or without definite borders? Can it survive radical changes in its territory? Are there clear-cut identity criteria for geographic categories? This paper serves as an introduction to a special issue of Topoi whose aim is to go a first step towards a better understanding of these questions and of their implications for the theory of the geographic world.

description: Este artigo constituiu um exercício de reflexão sobre um dos cenários educativos mais promissores do Ensino Superior atual: o blended learning. Assumimos o ponto de vista da Terminologia, disciplina que se ocupa da representação, da descrição e da definição do conhecimento especializado através da língua. Neste quadro teórico, os conceitos, enquanto elementos da estrutura do conhecimento, constituem um objeto de investigação de complexidade não despicienda, pois, apesar do postulado de que a língua é uma ferramenta fundamental para descrever e organizar o conhecimento, o princípio isomórfico não pode ser tomado como adquirido. A abordagem conceptual em Terminologia propõe uma visão precisa do papel da língua no trabalho terminológico, sendo premissa basilar que não existe uma correspondência unívoca entre os elementos atomísticos do conhecimento e os elementos da expressão linguística. Não obstante, como será demonstrado, a análise do texto de especialidade é uma ferramenta relevante para acesso ao conceito, constituindo um dos principais ambientes discursivos ao dispor do terminólogo.

description: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been the target of many epidemiological studies because of their toxic potential and widespread prevalence in the environment. Advances in analytic techniques have made it possible to distinguish routinely among the 209 different congeners, which vary widely in their biological properties. We propose here a classification system for the most commonly detected congeners. Group 1 (potentially estrogenic, weak phenobarbital inducers); Group 2 (potentially antiestrogenic and immunotoxic, dioxinlike); and Group 3 (phenobarbital, CYP1A and CYP2B inducers, biologically persistent). Group 2 is further subdivided according to non- and mono-ortho substituted vs. di-ortho substituted, in analogy with toxicity of dioxin congeners.

description: We report a thorough characterization of the glassy phases of mixtures of succinonitrile and glutaronitrile via dielectric spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. This system is revealed to be one of the rare examples where both glassy states of matter, a structurally disordered supercooled liquid and an orientationally disordered plastic crystal, can be prepared in the same material. Both disordered states can be easily supercooled, finally arriving at a structural-glass or a glassy-crystal state. Detailed investigations using broadband dielectric spectroscopy enable a comparison of the glassy dynamics in both phases. Just as previously demonstrated for supercooled-liquid and plastic-crystalline ethanol, our experiments reveal very similar relaxational behavior and glass temperatures of both disordered states. Thus the prominent role of orientational degrees of freedom in the glass transition, suggested on the basis of the findings for ethanol, is fully corroborated by the present work. Moreover, the fragilities of both phases are determined and compared for different mixtures. The findings can be well understood within an energy-landscape based explanation of fragility.

description: In this note, we generalise a result of Lalonde, McDuff and Polterovich concerning the $ C^0 $ flux conjecture, thus confirming the conjecture in new cases of a symplectic manifold. Also, we prove the continuity of the flux homomorphism on the space of smooth symplectic isotopies endowed with the $ C^0 $ topology, which implies the $ C^0 $ rigidity of Hamiltonian paths, conjectured by Seyfaddini.
A PROBLEMÁTICA DA ESCRITA FEMININA NO SÉCULO XX: AS TRÊS POETAS DE «POESIA 61»

description: Este artigo pretende refletir sobre o reconhecimento e valorização da escrita feminina no século XX, centrando a sua atenção nas três poetas de Poesia 61: Fiama Hasse Pais Brandão, Maria Teresa Horta e Luiza Neto Jorge. A análise de traços comuns a estas três linguagens - a reflexividade poética, a intertextualidade e o erotismo – pretende demonstrar como estes mesmos aspetos são tratados de forma distinta, diferenciando-as entre si e singularizando a sua linguagem poética. Referindose aos antecedentes literários da escrita feminina do século XX, estudo contribui para realçar a importância decisiva destas três autoras na poesia de autoria feminina do século XX.

description: Lyman-alpha emitter (LAE) surveys have successfully used the excess in a narrow-band filter compared to a nearby broad-band image to find candidates. However, the odd spectral energy distribution (SED) of LAEs combined with the instrumental profile have important effects on the properties of the candidate samples extracted from these surveys. We investigate the effect of the bandpass width and the transmission profile of the narrow-band filters used for extracting LAE candidates at redshifts z ~ 6.5 through Monte Carlo simulations, and we present pilot observations to test the performance of tunable filters to find LAEs and other emission-line candidates. We compare the samples obtained using a narrow ideal-rectangular-filter, the Subaru NB921 narrow-band filter, and sweeping across a wavelength range using the ultra-narrow-band tunable filters of the instrument OSIRIS, installed at the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias. We use this instrument for extracting LAE candidates from a small set of real observations. Broad-band data from the Subaru, HST and Spitzer databases were used for fiting SEDs to calculate photometric redshifts and to identify interlopers. Narrow-band surveys are very efficient to find LAEs in large sky areas, but the samples obtained are not evenly distributed in redshift along the filter bandpass, and the number of LAEs with equivalent widths < 60 angstroms can be underestimated. These biased results do not appear in samples obtained using ultra-narrow-band tunable filters. However, the field size of tunable filters is restricted because of the variation of the effective wavelength across the image. Thus narrow-band and ultra-narrow-band surveys are complementary strategies to investigate high-redshift LAEs.

description: If the question is: what is to be done for philosophy?, then it calls for a political answer and I have little to say besides the obvious. If the question is: what is to be done in philosophy?, then I’m stuck. Drawing up a list of to-do’s and not-to-do’s would not, I think, be a good way to honor the general conception of philosophy that inspired Topoi throughout these years, and that I deeply share.
MEMÓRIA E FICÇÃO NARRATIVA: A HISTÓRIA ALEMÃ REVISITADA ATRAVÉS DA LITERATURA E DO CINEMA

description: O presente trabalho procura, de forma sucinta, descrever o processo de confronto da nação alemã com o seu passado nacional-socialista, um processo que se tem vindo a desenrolar num âmbito político, jurídico e social desde há mais de seis décadas. Pretende-se ainda argumentar que o período em que a Alemanha viveu sob o domínio nazi, elemento incontornável da própria narrativa nacional, tem sido amplamente representado quer na literatura, quer no cinema, tanto por sujeitos da chamada primeira geração, como também pelas gerações que nasceram após 1945, indivíduos cuja influência do passado familiar e/ou interesse pela memória histórica do país constituem a matriz das suas obras.

description: La prise en compte de l’impact émotionnel des évaluations sommatives sur le vécu scolaire des adolescent∙es amène à s’interroger sur la considération pour la note et ses conséquences. Dans cette idée, cette recherche tente d’appréhender le lien des buts d’accomplissement propres aux adolescent·es ainsi qu’à leurs relations (scolaires et familiales), avec le stress scolaire ressenti par ces adolescent·es, notamment au cours des évaluations sommatives. Les données récoltées prennent appui sur des mesures auto-rapportées à l’aide d’un questionnaire auprès de 163 élèves de 11ème année. Les résultats mettent dans un premier temps en lumière la part du stress scolaire expliquée par les buts d’accomplissement, et établissent dans un second temps la contribution de ces mêmes buts au stress en période d’évaluation sommative. Les analyses démontrent que la différenciation du stress scolaire et du stress lié aux évaluations notées est légitimée par les contributions hétéroclites des buts d’accomplissement selon le contexte. L’article souligne finalement la nécessité de s’intéresser à la considération des élèves pour la note ainsi que pour ses enjeux inhérents tant sur le plan personnel que relationnel et social. Il encourage l’idée d’une transition vers des évaluations soutenantes aux apprentissages – accompagnées d’une communication limpide des objectifs ainsi que des résultats – avec pour finalité une réduction des conséquences émotionnelles.  En outre, il donne l’opportunité de prendre en considération les perceptions qu’ont les adolescent∙es des buts d’accomplissement adoptés par leurs pairs, leurs enseignant∙es, leurs parents.

description: Numa sociedade onde as correntes migrações desenham um novo contexto de sociabilização e onde a globalização conduz ao aumento incomensurável das reuniões interculturais, é fulcral recentrar a importância do ensino da interpretação dita de comunidade. A inauguração do Mestrado em Tradução e Interpretação Especializadas, no ano lectivo de 2007/2008, no Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto, reformulado a partir da Licenciatura Bi-Etápica homónima, veio apresentar um desenho dos curricula em Interpretação cujo entendimento é mais pragmático. Assim sendo, à tradicional divisão entre Interpretação Simultânea e Interpretação Consecutiva sucedeu a introdução das unidades curriculares de Interpretação de Conferência, Interpretação Remota e de Teleconferência e de Interpretação de Acompanhamento. Este estudo pretende apresentar e discutir as diferentes abordagens pedagógicas ensaiadas no decorrer da implementação da unidade curricular de Interpretação de Acompanhamento, sustentadas por uma reflexão de cariz científico-pedagógico, filtrada pelas tendências de investigação mais recentes nesta área. Adoptámos a designação de Interpretação de Acompanhamento para descrever uma situação comunicativa que decorre em contextos variados e heterogéneos, em detrimento de outras designações de abrangência mais restrita, como Interpretação de Liaison – que remete para um acompanhamento em contexto de negócios ou de visita cultural ou turística – e Interpretação de Comunidade – reportando-se à mediação linguística de alguém que não fala a linguagem da maioria, normalmente no âmbito judicial, social, ou de saúde. Concentraremos, por conseguinte, a nossa atenção nas questões que se seguem: Que estratégias pedagógicas melhor se adaptam ao ensino desta disciplina? Como reproduzir a heterogeneidade dos contextos comunicativos que a Interpretação de Acompanhamento envolve numa sala de aula? Que ponderação deve assumir o desempenho linguístico em comparação com as competências de mediação intercultural? Como integrar, na prática, conceitos e teorias no domínio da Interpretação de Acompanhamento?

description: Em Portugal, o turismo é uma actividade económica que gera ganhos significativos e a promoção turística do país no mercado externo assenta cada vez mais na criação de sites multilingues. Este artigo examina um corpus constituído por textos provenientes de sites de Regiões de Turismo de Portugal, em português, e as respectivas traduções para inglês, com o objectivo de demonstrar o modo como os tradutores adicionam informação inexistente no texto original. Através da análise desta característica específica dos sites oficiais traduzidos para promover o destino “Portugal” no mercado externo pretende salientar-se a importância que as estratégias de tradução assumem no marketing do destino turístico, uma vez que a informação adicionada cria uma determinada imagem de uma região. Em termos teóricos e metodológicos, este artigo enquadra-se no âmbito da Linguística de Corpus.
