Balssa, Floriane. "Facile à Lire et à Comprendre (FALC) et école inclusive : Questionnements et applications des règles FALC en école élémentaire." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Bordeaux, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024BORD0195.
Full textAbstract:
Les règles européennes Facile à Lire et à Comprendre ou FALC ont pour objectif de rendre l’information accessible à tous (Inclusion Europe, 2009). En Allemagne (Bock et al., 2017) ou en Suède (Engblom, 2019) le FALC est notamment utilisé pour l’apprentissage de la langue ou pour aider les enfants en difficulté de compréhension ou de lecture. En France, les règles du FALC sont surtout utilisées dans le domaine du handicap mental et peinent à dépasser ces frontières. Cependant, elles pourraient être intéressantes pour adapter les textes aux élèves ayant une faible maîtrise de la langue afin de les aider à comprendre un texte (Mazeau et Loty, 2020). Cette réflexion s’inscrit dans le contexte d’école inclusive en France qui garantit « l’inclusion scolaire de tous les enfants, sans aucune distinction. » (J.O 8 juillet 2013, article L. 111-1) et dont l’objectif est d’offrir à la fois une intégration physique, sociale et pédagogique aux élèves (Thomazet, 2008). Cependant, les enseignants peuvent se retrouver en difficulté : manque de ressources adaptées, charge supplémentaire de travail et manque de formation (Lavoie et al., 2013). Le FALC pourrait donc être un moyen pertinent pour aider les enseignants en école élémentaire française afin de favoriser l’inclusion des élèves à besoins spécifiques. Plusieurs problématiques émergent alors : Le FALC est-il connu et utilisé par les enseignants en école élémentaire? Peut-il s’adapter à des problématiques d’enseignement en France? Comment favoriser l’usage du FALC par les enseignants ? Au regard de la littérature, les objectifs de cette thèse sont donc les suivants : 1. S’interroger sur la place du Facile à Lire et Comprendre dans l’éducation. 2. Co-construire une méthode d’application du FALC avec les enseignants. 3. Évaluer l’apport des règles FALC pour une école inclusive. 4. Accompagner l’intégration du FALC dans les pratiques professionnelles des enseignants. Pour y répondre, nous avons réalisé une enquête préliminaire par questionnaire (Balssa et Lespinet, 2022) complétée par des entretiens. L’analyse des résultats nous a permis de créer des personas illustrant une pluralité d’enseignants confrontés à des situations variées, mais aussi d’identifier des facteurs pouvant impacter l’acceptabilité du FALC. Nous avons donc défini un modèle d’acceptabilité, à priori, du FALC par les enseignants (Balssa et Lespinet, 2023). Dérivé de l’UTAUT-2 (Venkatesh et al., 2012), il permet de s’interroger sur les freins et les leviers à prendre en compte pour concevoir une solution en FALC. Basé sur l’intention d’usage, c’est un support pour adapter le FALC et préparer le terrain à son usage, mais il ne garantit pas son acceptation en situation réelle ni son adoption à long terme (Bobillier Chaumon, 2016). Sur un principe de Recherche-Action-Formation (Gay et Prud’homme, 2011), deux enseignantes volontaires ont expérimenté le FALC en classe. L’objectif était de co-construire avec elles un projet de recherche autour du FALC, qui soit adapté à leur pédagogie et aux besoins de leurs élèves afin d’évaluer l’apport des règles du FALC en contexte scolaire. L’analyse des données recueillies se base sur les évaluations réalisées par l’enseignante, sur son expérience mais aussi sur les retours des élèves (Balssa et al., 2023b; Balssa et al., 2024 ). Ce travail a mis en lumière l’intérêt du FALC pour offrir aux élèves en difficulté une aide à la lecture, à la compréhension et plus largement à l’inclusion. Il souligne aussi la nécessité de moduler le FALC pour qu’il puisse s’adapter au contexte scolaire. La dernière partie de la thèse nous a permis de développer la première version d’une plateforme afin d’accompagner les enseignants dans l’usage du FALC. Elle s’articule autour de vidéos de formation, d’un guide pour l’usage des règles et d’un outil d’aide à la traduction en FALC afin d’adapter le FALC aux besoins pédagogiques<br>The European Facile à Lire et à Comprendre or Easy-to-read rules aim to make information accessible to all (Inclusion Europe, 2009). In Germany (Bock et al., 2017) and Sweden (Engblom, 2019), Easy-to-read is used for language learning and to help children with reading and comprehension difficulties. In France, Easy-to-read rules are mainly used in the field of mental disabilities, and are struggling to transcend these boundaries. However, these rules could be useful to adapt texts for students with poor language skills in order to help them in understanding a text (Mazeau and Loty, 2020). This reflection is part of the inclusive school context in France, which guarantees "the inclusion in school of all children, without any distinction." (J.O July 8, 2013, article L. 111-1) and whose aim is to offer pupils physical, social and educational integration at the same time (Thomazet, 2008). However, teachers can find themselves in difficulty: lack of relevant resources, additional workload and lack of training (Lavoie et al., 2013). Easy-to-read could therefore be a relevant means of helping teachers in French elementary schools to promote the inclusion of students with special needs. Several issues emerge: Is Easy-to-read known and used by elementary school teachers? Can it be adapted to teaching issues in France? How can we encourage teachers to use Easy-to-read ? In terms of literature, the aims of this thesis are as follows: 1. Examine the place of Facile à Lire et Comprendre in education. 2. To co-construct a method for applying Easy-to-read with teachers. 3. Assess the contribution of Easy-to-read rules to an inclusive school. 4. Support the integration of Easy-to-read into teachers’ professional practices. To answer this question, we carried out a preliminary questionnaire survey (Balssa and Lespinet, 2022), supplemented by interviews. Analysis of the results enabled us to create personas illustrating a plurality of teachers confronted with a variety of situations, but also to identify factors that could impact on the acceptability of Easy-to-read. We have therefore defined a model for the a priori acceptability of Easy-to-read to teachers (Balssa and Lespinet, 2023). Derived from UTAUT-2 (Venkatesh et al., 2012), it allows us to consider the obstacles and levers to be taken into account when designing a Easy-to-read solution. Based on the intention to use, it is a support for adapting Easy-to-read and preparing the ground for its use, but it does not guarantee its acceptance in real-life situations or its long-term adoption (Bobillier Chaumon, 2016). Based on the principle of Research-Action-Formation (Gay and Prud’homme,2011), two volunteer teachers experimented with Easy-to-read in their classroom. The aim was to co-construct with them a research project around Easy-to-read, adapted to their pedagogy and the needs of their students, in order to evaluate the contribution of Easy-to-read rules in the school context. The analysis of the data collected is based on evaluations carried out by the teacher, on the experience of but also on feedback from (Balssa et al., 2023b ; Balssa et al., 2024 ). This work has highlighted the value of Easy-to-read in helping students with difficulties to read, understand and, more broadly, to be included. It also highlights the need to modulate Easy-to-read so that it can be adapted to the school context. The last part of the thesis enabled us to develop the first version of a platform to support teachers in the use of Easy-to-read. It includes training videos, a guide to using the rules, and a Easy-to-read translation tool to adapt Easy-to-read to pedagogical needs

Full textAbstract:
Humanoids which resemble humans in their body structure and degrees of freedom are anticipated to work like them within infrastructures and environments constructed for
humans. In such scenarios, even humans who have exceptional manipulation, balancing, and locomotion skills are vulnerable to fall, humanoids being their approximate imitators
are no exception to this. Furthermore, their high center of gravity position in relation to their small support polygon makes them more prone to fall, unlike other robots such
as quadrupeds. The consequences of these falls are so devastating that it can instantly annihilate both the robot and its surroundings. This has become one of the major stumbling
blocks which humanoids have to overcome to operate in real environments. As a result, in this thesis, we have strived to address the imminent fall over of humanoids by developing
different control techniques. The fall over problem as such can be divided into three subissues: fall prediction, controlled fall, and its recovery. In the presented work, the first two
issues have been addressed, and they are presented in three parts.
First, we define what is fall over for humanoids, different sources for it to happen, the effect fall over has both on the robot and to its surroundings, and how to deal with them.
Following which, we give a brief introduction to the overall system which includes both the hardware and software components which have been used throughout the work for varied
purposes.
Second, the first sub-issue is addressed by proposing a generic method to predict the falling over of humanoid robots in a reliable, robust, and agile manner across various
terrains, and also amidst arbitrary disturbances. The aforementioned characteristics are strived to attain by proposing a prediction principle inspired by the human balance sensory
systems. Accordingly, the fusion of multiple sensors such as inertial measurement unit and gyroscope (IMU), foot pressure sensor (FPS), joint encoders, and stereo vision sensor,
which are equivalent to the human’s vestibular, proprioception, and vision systems are considered. We first define a set of feature-based fall indicator variables (FIVs) from the
different sensors, and the thresholds for those FIVs are extracted analytically for four major disturbance scenarios. Further, an online threshold interpolation technique and an
impulse adaptive counter limit are proposed to manage more generic disturbances. For the generalized prediction process, both the instantaneous and cumulative sum of each FIVs
are normalized, and a suitable value is set as the critical limit to predict the fall over.
To determine the best combination and the usefulness of multiple sensors, the prediction performance is evaluated on four different types of terrains, in three unique combinations:
first, each feature individually with their respective FIVs; second, an intuitive performance based (PF); and finally, Kalman filter based (KF) techniques, which involve the usage
of multiple features. For PF and KF techniques, prediction performance evaluations are carried out with and without adding noise. Overall, it is reported that KF performs better
than PF and individual sensor features under different conditions. Also, the method’s ability to predict fall overs during the robot’s simple dynamic motion is also tested and
verified through simulations. Experimental verification of the proposed prediction method on flat and uneven terrains was carried out with the WALK-MAN humanoid robot.
Finally, in reference to the second sub-issue, i.e., the controlled fall, we propose two novel fall control techniques based on energy concepts, which can be applied online to mitigate
the impact forces incurred during the falling over of humanoids. Both the techniques are inspired by the break-fall motions, in particular, Ukemi motion practiced by martial arts
people. The first technique reduces the total energy using a nonlinear control tool, called energy shaping (ES) and further distributes the reduced energy over multiple contacts by
means of energy distribution polygons (EDP). We also include an effective orientation control to safeguard the end-effectors in the event of ground impacts. The performance of
the proposed method is numerically evaluated by dynamic simulations under the sudden falling over scenario of the humanoid robot for both lateral and sagittal falls. The effectiveness of the proposed ES and EDP concepts are verified by diverse comparative simulations regarding total energy, distribution, and impact forces.
Following the first technique, we proposed another controller to generate an online rolling over motion based on the hypothesis that multi-contact motions can reduce the impact
forces even further. To generate efficient rolling motion, critical parameters are defined by the insights drawn from a study on rolling, which are contact positions and attack
angles. In addition, energy-injection velocity is proposed as an auxiliary rolling parameter to ensure sequential multiple contacts in rolling. An online rolling controller is synthesized
to compute the optimal values of the rolling parameters. The first two parameters are to construct a polyhedron, by selecting suitable contacts around the humanoid’s body. This
polyhedron distributes the energy gradually across multiple contacts, thus called energy distribution polyhedron. The last parameter is to inject some additional energy into the
system during the fall, to overcome energy drought and tip over successive contacts. The proposed controller, incorporated with energy injection, minimization, and distribution
techniques result in a rolling like motion and significantly reduces the impact forces, and it is verified in numerical experiments with a segmented planar robot and a full humanoid
model.

O desempenho dos indivíduos com essa condição no nível receptivo da linguagem falada, quando comparado àquele no nível expressivo, ainda é controverso. Estudos mostraram superioridade na produção da linguagem em relação à recepção, enquanto outros apontaram que os dois níveis estão comprometidos. Um estudo sobre a fluência da linguagem falada em tarefa de narrativa poderia contribuir para uma melhor caracterização do nível expressivo da linguagem desses indivíduos.

The purpose of this study was, therefore, to investigate the speech fluency profile in del22q11.2 syndrome individuals through the characterization, identification, localization and comparison of their disfluencies and speech rate with those of individuals with typical language development.

Full textAbstract:
Falls are the most frequently reported incidents among hospitalized patients in the United States with at least 4 falls per 1,000 patient days occurring annually. Falls are related to high rates of mortality and morbidity and high hospital costs. The purpose of this project was to evaluate a fall prevention quality initiative to reduce falls in an acute care facility by educating staff on an evidence-based fall prevention protocol. The project sought to explore whether implementation of an evidence-based fall prevention initiative in educating nurses would affect the nurses’ professional knowledge and the number of patient fall incidences in the cardiac care unit. The theoretical framework supporting this project was Neuman’s systems theory. The Iowa model was used to guide this evidence-based project. An educational session was implemented to increase nurses’ awareness of fall prevention practices. Two sets of data were collected: the pretest and posttest results, and the number of falls on the unit. A total of 21 unit nurses participated in the pretest; 18 (86.0%) completed the posttest. The mean score on the pretest was 81.62%; the mean score was 85.89% for the posttest with a mean difference of 4.27%. A paired sample t-test revealed no statistically significant differences in scores after education. This project has implications for social change by supporting patient safety, decreased hospital stays, and reduced health care expenses to patients and health care organizations.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Fall injuries are a costly problem for society, with costs ranging up to 14 billion a year. In addition to economic loss accidental falls also creates human value losses and reduced quality of life for its victims. In order to prevent the occurrence of injury related to accidental falls healthcare providers utilize various scientifically developed risk assessment tools, one of them being Downton Fall Risk Index. Method: Empirical, quantitative cross-sectional study. Objective: The purpose of the extended essay was to describe the categories in Downton Fall Risk Index that have a bearing on patients' risk of falling while in hospital and in municipal care, and to illustrate how nurses can use the fall risk assessment tool. Results: Of the 708 participants a total of 73% had a high risk of falling according to Downton Fall Risk Index, of the patients being treated at a hospital 66% had high risk of falling and of the patients being treated in municipal care 87% had high risk of falling. Downton Fall Risk Index indicates that the medication was by far the largest category and included 576 patients (81%), followed by sensory impairment in 474 patients (67%). 335 patients (47%) had fallen previously. Discussion: Previous studies show that among patients being treated in hospitals, between 1.3 to 2.1% will fall. Downton Fall Risk Index indicates that 66% of the group of patients are at high risk of falling. This may be due to the fact that Downton Fall Risk Index focuses too much on medication. It is the nurse’s responsibility to coordinate work around the patient in order to minimize the risk of falling. For example, contact an occupational therapist or an ophthalmologist who can undertake specific actions to reduce patients' risk of falling. Nurses should also use appropriate risk assessment tools to identify risk factors in the patient and then use these to formulate a nursing diagnosis. Conclusion: Downton Fall Risk Index is too sensitive to be used on hospitalized patients, the instrument works better in patients being treated in municipal care. It is important that the nurse can use scientifically designed tool for ensuring good health care for the patient, tools such as the fall risk assessment tool.<br>Bakgrund: Fallskador är ett dyrt problem för samhället med kostnader som sträcker sig upp mot 14 miljarder kronor om året i Sverige. Förutom ekonomiska förluster skapar fall även humanvärdesförluster och försämrad livskvalitet för den drabbade. För att förhindra uppkomsten av fallskador används inom sjukvården olika vetenskapligt framtagna fallriskbedömningsinstrument, ett av dessa är Downton Fall Risk Index. Metod: Empirisk, kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie. Syfte: Syftet med fördjupningsarbetet är att beskriva vilka kategorier i Downton Fall Risk Index som har betydelse för patienters fallrisk vid vistelse på sjukhus och vid kommunal vård, samt att belysa hur sjuksköterskan kan använda Fallriskbedömningsinstrument. Resultat: Av de 708 medverkande hade totalt 73% hög risk att falla enligt Downton Fall Risk Index, på sjukhus hade 66% av patienterna hög risk att falla och i kommunal vård hade 87% av patienterna hög risk att falla. Downton Fall Risk Index anger att medicinering var den klart största kategorin och inkluderade 576 av patienterna (81%), därefter kom sensorisk funktionsnedsättning med 474 patienter (67%). 335 patienter (47%) hade fallit tidigare. Diskussion: Tidigare studier visar att på sjukhus faller mellan 1,3-2,1% av patienterna. Downton Fall Risk Index anger att 66% av samma patientgrupp har hög risk för fall. Detta kan bero på att Downton Fall Risk Index fokuserar för mycket på medicinering. Det är sjuksköterskans uppgift att samordna arbetet runt patienten så att fallrisken minimeras. Till exempel ska sjuksköterskan kontakta arbetsterapeuter eller ögonläkare som kan utföra punktinsatser för att minska patientens fallrisk. Sjuksköterskan ska även använda fallriskbedömningsinstrument för att identifiera riskfaktorer hos patienten och sedan använda dessa för att utforma en omvårdnadsdiagnos. Slutsats: Downton Fall Risk Index är alldeles för känsligt för att kunna användas på patienter inneliggande på sjukhus, instrumentet fungerar bättre på patienter inneliggande i kommunal vård. Det är viktigt att sjuksköterskan kan använda vetenskapligt utformade verktyg för att säkerställa en god omvårdnad för patienten, verktyg såsom Fallriskbedömningsinstrument.

Vårat syfte är att undersöka vad konsumenterna har för inställning till Falu stadskärna?Vi har i vår uppsats använt oss av både kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod. I den kvalitativa metoden har vi utfört en observation över Falu stadskärna och den låg sedan till grund för vår kvantitativa metod, det vill säga vår enkät. Enkäten har utförts i Falu stadskärna och 200 respondenter deltog enkätintervju. Vi har även intervjuat personer som är väl insatta i Faluns centrumhandel, dels 2 butiksägare och även Faluns centrumledare. Vi har även utfört en mailintervju med en kommunpolitiker i Falun.De tre modeller vi valt att använda på vårt material är Intressentmodellen, då den redovisar vad som påverkar Falu stadskärna. Porters Five Forces, använder vi för att den visar konkurrensen mot Falu stadskärna. Slutligen har vi använt Performance Importance Matrix, för att den visar på vilket sätt man kan åtgärda eventuella problem i stadskärnan. Vi har även tittat på olika teorier som beskriver attraktionsfaktorer i Falu stadskärna och teorier på varför externa köpcentrum expanderar. Vi har kommit fram till att konsumenterna i Falu stadskärna är mest missnöjda med parkeringssituationen, samt butiksutbudet i Falu stadskärna. Dessa områden anser vi vara de viktigaste områdena att lägga kraft på vid bemötande av konkurrens från till exempel Kupolen.

Orientador: Célia Maria Giacheti<br>Coorientador: Natalia Freitas Rossi<br>Banca: Luciana Pinato<br>Banca: Dionísia Aparecida Cusin Lamônica<br>Resumo: A síndrome del22q11.2 é uma condição genética causada por microdeleção na região cromossômica 22q11.2. O desempenho dos indivíduos com essa condição no nível receptivo da linguagem falada, quando comparado àquele no nível expressivo, ainda é controverso. Estudos mostraram superioridade na produção da linguagem em relação à recepção, enquanto outros apontaram que os dois níveis estão comprometidos. Um estudo sobre a fluência da linguagem falada em tarefa de narrativa poderia contribuir para uma melhor caracterização do nível expressivo da linguagem desses indivíduos. O objetivo deste estudo, portanto, foi investigar a fluência da linguagem falada de indivíduos com a síndrome del22q11.2 por meio da caracterização, identificação, localização e comparação das disfluências e da velocidade de fala com as de indivíduos com desenvolvimento típico de linguagem. Participaram deste estudo 15 indivíduos, de ambos os gêneros, na faixa etária de 7 a 17 anos, com diagnóstico da síndrome del22q11.2 (Grupo Experimental - GE), comparados com outros 15 indivíduos com desenvolvimento típico de linguagem (Grupo Controle - GC), semelhantes quanto ao gênero e à idade cronológica. Para a caracterização dos indivíduos, foi aplicada a Escala Weschler de Inteligência, o Teste de Vocabulário por Imagens Peabody (TVIP) e o Teste de Desempenho Escolar - TDE. A fluência da linguagem falada foi investigada a partir de amostra de narrativa oral eliciada pelo livro Frog Where Are You?. A narrativa oral foi transcrita e analisada segundo o Teste de Linguagem Infantil - ABFW, que incluiu a tipologia e a frequência de disfluências comuns e gagas e também a velocidade de fala (palavras e sílabas por minuto). A partir da frequência de ocorrência das disfluências na narrativa, foi obtido o número total de disfluência comum, gaga e total...

The performance of individuals with this condition at the receptive level of spoken language when compared to that at the expressive level is still controversial. Some studies show superiority in language production with regard to reception, while others suggest that both levels are compromised. A study on speech fluency in narrative tasks could contribute to a better characterization of the expressive level of language in these individuals. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to investigate the speech fluency profile in del22q11.2 syndrome individuals through the characterization, identification, localization and comparison of their disfluencies and speech rate with those of individuals with typical language development. In this study, 15 subjects, male and female, between 7 and 17 years of age, and diagnosed with del22q11.2 syndrome (Experimental Group - EG) were compared with 15 age and gender-matched control subjects with typical language development (Control Group - CG). In order to characterize the subjects, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), and Teste de Desempenho Escolar (TDE) were used. The speech fluency profile was investigated using an oral narrative sample elicited by the book Frog, Where Are You? Each oral narrative was transcribed and analyzed according to the Teste de Linguagem Infantil ABFW, which included the type and frequency of normal and stuttered disfluencies and the speech rate (words and syllables per minute). The total number of normal, stuttered and overall disfluencies was obtained based on the frequency of occurrence of disfluencies in the narrative. These data were used to calculate the percentage to match the data and compare the groups... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)<br>Mestre

222203.pdf: 1132923 bytes, checksum: f4ac752ab2858693fca544c59ce5965b (MD5)<br>Esta tese trata de atos de fala de comando na expressão variável do imperativo mediante formas verbais indicativa e subjuntiva, sob duas perspectivas teórico-metodológicas: a da dimensão estilística, com base na Teoria da Variação e Mudança Lingüística (linha laboviana), e a dos graus de força manipulativa, com base no Funcionalismo Lingüístico (linha givoniana). Essas duas perspectivas se aproximam em vários pontos e se mostram complementares em tantos outros, o que permitiu uma abordagem associada. Em termos gerais, hipóteses de caráter funcional e de caráter socioestilístico receberam tratamento metodológico nos moldes da sociolingüística laboviana.
As etapas metodológicas foram as seguintes: (i) quantificação dos dados mediante a aplicação do programa estatístico VARBRUL (Pintzuk, 1988) sobre as variáveis independentes controladas, (ii) soma dessas variáveis simples para a composição de uma variável complexa denominada Graus de força manipulativa e (iii) configuração da variedade intra-individual de cada manipulador nas diversas redes sociais. Tomamos como amostra dos dados a tradução Sul-regionalista para o português de Vinhas da Ira, de John Steinbeck.
Os resultados permitiram a corroboração das principais hipóteses da pesquisa, evidenciando: (i) a existência de uma correlação escalar entre os dispositivos enfraquecedores/fortalecedores da força manipulativa constituinte dos atos de fala de comando e o uso das variantes indicativa e subjuntiva, e (ii) a relevância da variável independente simetria/ assimetria das relações sociopessoas entre manipuladores e manipulados, na abordagem estilística da variação.
Consideramos como contribuição maior desta tese a proposta de operacionalização de procedimentos teórico-metodológicos para tratamento conjunto da dimensão estilística da variação e da noção gradiente de força manipulativa constituinte dos atos de comando, tratados como regra variável.
In this thesis, it is analyzed the use of indicative and subjunctive variants in the expression of the imperative form, in the second person singular, in the Portuguese language, as an act of manipulative speech, with the objective of emphasizing the idea that the expression of these variants cannot be related to their morph syntactic manifestations, only, being fundamental to consider the influence of the pragmatic-situational context in which they are inserted.
It is started from two theoretical-methodological perspectives: the one of the stilistics dimension of the variation based on the Theory of Variation and linguistic Change (Labovian Theory) and the one of the degrees of the manipulative force, based on the Linguistic Functionalism (Giovanian Theory). These two perspectives approach one another in various aspects and appear complementary in many others, which allowed an associated approach. In general terms, hypotheses of functional and socio-stilistics characters received methodological treatment in the Labovian sociolinguistic features.
The methodological steps were the following: (i) data quantification according to the application of the VARBRUL statistical program (Pintzuk, 1988) about the controlled independent variables (of extralinguistics nature); (ii) sum of these simple variables for the composition of a complex variable called degree of manipulative force; and (iii) configuration of the intra-individual variety of each manipulator in various social nets. It was taken the manipulative speech acts in the expression of the imperative form in John Steinbeck's the grapes of wrath, in its southern regionalist version for the Portuguese language.
The results allowed confirming the main hypotheses of the research, emphasizing: (i) the existence of a scalar correlation among the weakeners/strengtheners of the constituent manipulative force of the speech act of command and the use of indicative and subjunctive variants, and (ii) the relevance of independent variable simetry/assimetry of sociopeople relations between manipulators and manipulated, in the stilistic approach of variation, confirming the initial hypothesis, in which the use of imperative variants would be related to a conditioning of strictly situational nature, in a detic referentiation: Eu/Tu (commander and commanded), aqui (physical space), and agora (moment of enunciation).
It is considered as the major contribution of this thesis the proposal of operationalization of theoretical-methodological procedures for the conjunct treatment of the stilistic dimension of variation and the gradient notion of the constituent manipulative force of the command acts, treated as variable rules.

Full textAbstract:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) report thousands of falls in hospitals each year. The CMS does not reimburse hospitals for fall related injuries, costing the hospital system organization for which this DNP project was designed millions of dollars each year. Framed within the Iowa model of evidence-based practice and using a team approach, the purpose of this project was to develop an evidence-based (EB) fall safety bundle for use by nursing staff and a curriculum to educate staff on prevention strategies. The components of the EB fall bundle kit were approved by the stakeholder committee. Evaluation of the curriculum and the pretest/posttest items was completed by three content experts. The curriculum was evaluated related to the objectives using a 'met' (2) and a 'not met' (1) response. All responses were 'met' for an average score of 2 showing the content met the objectives. Validation of the pretest/post items was conducted using a 10-item, Likert scale, ranging from 1- 'is not relevant' to 4- 'is highly relevant'. The content validation index was 1.0, showing that the test items met the objectives and content of the course. Recommendations included providing a consistent methodology to disseminate the fall safety bundle and educational curriculum across the entire healthcare system as well as adding the fall safety bundle tool kit to the hospital's intranet page for ease of access for all staff. Social change will be achieved by facilitating prevention of fall related injuries and avoiding the financial impact on the facility.

ABSTRACT: This study used the X-ray microbeam speech production database (XRMBSPD)
to describe acoustic and articulatory differences in speech production.
Four subjects (1 male and 1 female with class I, and 1 male and 1 female with
class II) were selected. The articulatory space of each subject has been
characterized by the modified A-space method. The vowels [a, i, u, æ] and
consonants [p, t, k, f, s, ∫] were acoustically and articulatorily analysed. Results
showed: a tipped posterior pharynx wall for class II; variability in the articulatory
adaptations on the subjects of class II, probably related to different class
divisions; limited variability in vowel production; the multitaper spectrum broad
peak of [∫] was related to the place of articulation. The Angle occlusal
classification, functional and cephalometric analysis has been shown to be a
valuable tool. The modified A-space seems to be a valid method to overcome
some of the XRMB-SPD limitations. Acoustic and articulatory synchronized
analysis seems to be promising, with several unexplored correlations to
achieve.

Mestrado em Ciências da Fala e da Audição<br>Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar a perceção dos fonemas fricativos e oclusivos do Português Europeu em crianças com Fendas Labiopalatinas.
Método: De forma a estudar a perceção auditiva em crianças com fendas palatinas, bem como investigar a possível correlação existente entre a competência articulatória e a capacidade percetiva das mesmas, elaborou-se um método que consistiu essencialmente na obtenção da informação a três níveis: auditivo, articulatório e percetivo. Foram escolhidos os estímulos a serem utilizados e gravados num único registo de voz diferente (voz da autora do estudo). Após a gravação e processamento dos estímulos foi desenvolvida uma aplicação para facilitar a recolha de dados. Após a realização e aplicação da metodologia, foram investigadas várias questões relacionadas com a perceção e articulação dos sons fricativos e oclusivos. As principais questões foram: que tipo de sons eram mais afetados na perceção e na articulação verbal, em qual dos parâmetros de classificação das consoantes se destaca maior interferência na perceção e se é possível verificar a existência de correlação entre os problemas articulatórios e os défices de perceção.
Resultados: Os resultados confirmam as dificuldades das crianças com fendas labiopalatinas em percecionar os fonemas oclusivos e fricativos e apresentam os fonemas fricativos como mais difíceis de percecionar, sendo que os fonemas não- vozeados são os de maior dificuldade.
Em termos de correlação não foi possível estabelecer uma relação linear entre os dois domínios estudados (articulação e perceção), contudo é importante reter que a percentagem de acertos foi superior na perceção auditiva; que existem grandes diferenças entre a articulação e a perceção para os fonemas fricativos e que os resultados obtidos mostraram ser muito dependentes do sujeito.<br>Objective: This study aims to investigate the perception of fricative and occlusive phonemes in European Portuguese in children with cleft palate.
Method: In way of studying the perception in children with cleft palate as if investigate a possible connection between articulation capacity and perception ability in those, we developed a methodology based in three levels: audition, articulator e perceptive. Stimuli were chosen and recorded in one unique register of voice (author voice). After recording and processing of stimuli, a software application was developed to automate data collection. Results from application of the methodology were analysed regarding several questions related to perception and articulation of fricative and occlusive phonemes. The main questions were: what phonemes are more affected in perception and a articulation; in which parameter of consonant classification we can see significant differences on perception and if it’s possible to check the correlation between perception and a articulation problems.
Results: The results confirm the difficulty of children with cleft palate in perceiving the fricatives and occlusive sounds and present the fricatives more difficult. In terms of correlation was not possible to establish a linear relationship between the two areas studied (articulation and perception), yet it is important to note that the percentage of correct responses was higher in perception, that there are large differences between the perception and articulation for the fricative and that the results obtained proved to be very dependent on the subjects.

Resumo: Entendendo que o discurso hegemônico do telejornalismo rural, especificamente na figura do Globo Rural, atua na promoção da modernização agrícola, procuro refletir neste trabalho sobre o papel da televisão nos processos de (re)construção do meio rural em Dois Vizinhos (PR). A hipótese é de que a "presença" da televisão neste contexto acirra a revisão e ressignificação das atividades e condições de vida no contato com experiências e estilos de vida rurais altamente inseridos no mercado e no consumo, veiculados pelo telejornalismo rural. São dinâmicas sociais que configuram a própria agricultura familiar a partir de processos identitários híbridos, forjados no encontro da vida local com a sociedade envolvente. Ativada para designar uma identidade aberta às tensões estabelecidas entre o que se vê na televisão e o que se vive nas comunidades, a agricultura familiar marca a própria diversidade do rural na região, tanto na (re)produção como na representação da vida familiar, abrigando uma polissemia de perspectivas e estratégias identitárias que disputam espaço e ligitimidade nos contextos locais de Dois Vizinhos.

Falls are a major contributor to construction-related fatalities. Many construction fall fatalities occur during roofing, and may be prevented by proper use of fall protection. A prevalent option for fall protection is a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). However, full adaption of PFAS is hindered by usability issues, particularly in the harness component. Current research aims to develop design requirements for more usable fall arrest harness. A study was conducted to consider the inter-relations of objective measures of fit and strap pressure, along with subjective usability measures including discomfort ratings and post-task questionnaire responses.<br /><br />18 local roofers were recruited to test three different harnesses, while performing both quiet calibration-oriented trials and simulated roofing tasks. Significant correlations between discomfort ratings and pressure values were found only in quiet trials. Questionnaire responses were validated by inter-correlations and by significant correlations with discomfort ratings. Multiple comparisons of objective fit values and questionnaire responses revealed deficits in the low-end harness, while suggesting few differences between the mid- and high-range harnesses.<br /><br />Results from analysis of both objective and subjective measures were considered alongside free-response prompts to develop a set of four requirements for consideration in future harness design, including a lowered harness weight, an intermediate level of padding, inclusion of rolling style vertical strap quick-adjusters, a belt-style thigh strap adjustment mechanism, and the adoption of a three-sized sizing scheme.<br>Master of Science

Mestrado em Ciências da Fala e da Audição<br>Objectivo/tema: Quando as crianças, em idade escolar, não produzem
correctamente os sons da língua materna e os processos fonológicos de
simplificação se mantêm, podemos estar perante Perturbações da Articulação
Verbal. Estas perturbações podem ser consequência de perda auditiva ligeira
detectada tardiamente. Neste trabalho, pretendemos estudar a relação dos
problemas de articulação verbal com a perda auditiva e comparar a
manutenção de processos fonológicos entre um grupo de sujeitos com audição
normal e outro com perda auditiva ligeira, ambos em idade escolar.
Método: Participaram neste estudo 10 crianças com audição normal e 10
crianças com perda auditiva ligeira, a frequentar escolas da Trofa, previamente
avaliadas em Audiologia. Foi elaborada uma metodologia para obtenção de
dados sobre a articulação verbal, que permitiu recolher informação sobre a
produção dos fonemas consonantais e grupos consonânticos do Português
Europeu (PE). O método foi aplicado individualmente e as respostas gravadas
em computador.
Resultados: Verificámos que, nos alunos com perda auditiva, os processos
fonológicos que ocorreram com maior frequência foram os de omissão de
líquida, erro fonético e substituição inter-classe, enquanto que, nos sujeitos
com audição normal, os processos mais frequentes foram as substituições
intra-classes e as semivocalizações. Também constatámos que todos os
sujeitos participantes neste estudo apresentaram problemas articulatórios e
neste caso a perda auditiva não chega para explicar os problemas existentes.
No entanto, o grupo com perda auditiva ligeira tem tendência a ter mais
dificuldades.
Discussão: Como esperado, o grupo com perda auditiva ligeira apresenta não
só um maior número de erros, como manifesta a presença de mais processos
fonológicos. Os resultados obtidos para o grupo sem perda auditiva
diagnosticada contrariam a ideia de que a criança, quando ingressa no
primeiro ciclo, já articula correctamente todos os sons e que os processos
fonológicos são superados e eliminados gradualmente ao longo dos anos préescolares.
Muitos dos problemas articulatórios verificados foram causados
pelos polissílabos incluídos no método utilizado na recolha de dados.
ABSTRACT: Objective/theme: When school age children do not produce correctly the
sounds of their mother tongue, and the simplification phonological processes
are kept, there may be Verbal Articulation Disorders. These disorders may be a
consequence of slight hearing loss, which are only detected belatedly. In this
study, it is our goal to analyse the relationship between verbal articulation
problems and hearing loss and compare the maintenance of phonological
processes among a group of subjects with normal hearing and other with slight
hearing loss, both in school age.
Method: 10 children with normal hearing and other 10 with slight hearing loss
from schools located in Trofa participated in this study. They have been
previously subject of auditory evaluation. A methodology was developed and
applyed to the 20 subjects in order to obtain data concerning verbal articulation.
This methodology gave information on the production of consonantic
phonemes and consonantic groups of European Portuguese. The method was
performed individually and the answers were recorded using a computer.
Results: We observed that, in students with hearing loss, the phonological
processes which occur more frequently were liquid deletion, phonetic error and
inter-class substitution while in students with normal hearing the most common
processes were inter-classes substitution and semi-vocalizations. We also
verified that all the participants in the study showed articulation disorders and,
against this background, the slight hearing loss is not enough to explain the
existing disorders. Nonetheless, the group with slight hearing loss tends to
have more difficulties.
Discussion: As expected, the group with slight hearing loss not only presents
a bigger number of errors but also demonstrates the presence of more
phonological processes. The obtained results are in disagreement with the idea
that the child already articulates correctly all sounds and that phonological
processes are gradually overcome and deleted over the pre-school years. Most
of the articulation problems were caused by the polysyllables included in the
method used for the data collection.

Full textAbstract:
Falls are nurse-sensitive outcome which reflect the quality of nursing care. Nurses, therefore, have a major role to play in efforts to decrease fall rates. The objective of this project is to increase nurses' knowledge on the proper use of the CVVM as an attempt to effectively decrease fall rates. Pretest, post test, and course evaluation data were collected from 30 nurses. A descriptive analysis of the data was performed. Overall, the pretest evaluation showed that nurses had an average score of 43% in the combined assessment of their knowledge on fall prevention strategies, their use of the CVVM, and their knowledge about the hospital's policy on patient monitoring. The nurses' post test average score in the combined assessment of these measures increased to 89% after the educational training which included presentations, hands-on-training, and provision of reference materials and cheat cards on fall prevention strategies and the use of the CVVM surveillance system. Inadequate training, lack of knowledge on the utilization of CVVM surveillance, inadequate use of system resources, and noncompliance with hospital policies were the primary drivers of fall rates in this hospital. Main recommendations include training and periodic retraining of staff on fall prevention strategies; leadership involvement to ensure nurses' compliance with the use of CVVM technology and hospital policy on patient monitoring; provision of CVVM reference materials; and nursing responsibilities in patient monitoring. Social change implications of this project include that nurses are better equipped through training to prevent falls, therefore, lowering patient morbidity and mortality rates.

Full textAbstract:
<p> This thesis summarizes research and draws overall conclusions from the body of literature on fall prevention interventions to provide hospitals with a basis for developing evidence-based fall prevention programs in the hospital setting. Data was obtained from published studies. Articles were retrieved that focused on fall interventions in the hospital setting. An analysis was performed based on levels of evidence using an integrative review process. Multifactorial fall prevention intervention programs included fall-risk assessments, fall-risk alerts, environmental and equipment modifications, staff and patient safety education, medication management targeted to specific types, and additional assistance with transfers in both falls and fall injuries in hospitalized patients. Hospitals need to reduce falls by using multifactorial fall prevention programs using evidence-based interventions to reduce falls and injuries. </p>

Previous issue date: 2008-09-30<br>O tema central deste estudo é o corpo, tendo como pano de fundo a estratificação social de Juiz de Fora. A partir de uma bibliografia que consta mais extensamente de Mauss, Geertz, Lévi-Strauss e Santaella surgiu a dúvida em relação a se as representações de corpo de mulheres de estratos sociais diferentes seriam, também, divergentes. Para tal verificação foi adotada a entrevista em profundidade e o corpus deste trabalho é constituído por 4 mulheres do estrato baixo, moradoras do bairro Alto Grajaú, mães ou irmãs de alunos da escola municipal Celeida Gomes e 4 mulheres do estrato médio, do bairro Manoel Honório, mães de alunos do colégio particular Mendes Carneiro. Ambos os bairros situam-se na zona leste da cidade, inclusive são muito próximos geograficamente. Através da análise das unidades mínimas ideológicas, propostas por Gilberto Velho, foram tratadas as muitas semelhanças encontradas nos discursos das oito mulheres. Uma única diferença que surgiu nas falas dos dois grupos refere-se aos seus posicionamentos em relação à existência de mulheres virtuais em listas de mulheres "reais" consideradas sexys. Essa única divergência, a qual parecia apontar para o pertencimento a esse ou aquele estrato, foi tratada com o auxílio de Luiz Fernando Dias Duarte e Elizabeth Boot. Interessava investigar se haveria diferenças discursivas sobre o tema corpo que pudessem apontar para o fato de pertencerem ao estrato médio ou baixo. A intenção não era a de, através de seus discursos, submeter as mulheres a padrões classistas já existentes. A questão da mobilidade social surgiu como fator importantíssimo na análise das diferentes opiniões sobre a mulher virtual. O estrato médio aqui referido é aquele limítrofe com o estrato baixo e, talvez por isso, os discursos sejam tão parecidos e a diferença que aponta para o pertencimento a estratos sociais distintos seja advinda da ascensão que as mulheres do bairro Manoel Honório tiveram, uma vez que já figuraram no estrato baixo.<br>The main subject of this paper is the body itself and as a background the social complex of Juiz de Fora. From a bibliography which is in more of Mauss, Geertz, Lévi-Strauss e Santaella a doubt was raised concerning the women’s body representations in different social scales. Not only different but opposite. To check it I used interviews and the corpus of this paper which is made of 4 women from the low social class, all of them living in Alto Grajaú district- mother or sister of students from the Celeida Gomes public school – and 4 women from the middle social class chart living in bairro Manoel Honório – mothers of students from Mendes Carneiro private school. Both districts are located on the east side of Juiz de Fora and are near from each other geographically. Through analyses of unidades mínimas ideológicas, proposed by Gilberto Velho, in “A utopia Urbana”, were worked out the several resemblances found in the women’s speech. The only difference which came up in their speeches was studied with the support of Luiz Fernando Dias Duarte, in “Da vida nervosa nas classes trabalhadoras urbanas” and Elizabeth Bott, in “Família e rede social”. It made me interested to inverstigate if there were different speeches about the body as a theme which could point the fact of being part of the low chart or the middle chart. I didn’t want, through their speeches to put the women under of any preexisted standard. The social classes difference came up as a very important matter as analysing the opposite speeches between the two groups. The middle social class group is close to the low social class group and that is why their speeches are very alike, only different because they from different social class and because of the rising of women from Manoel Honório district once classified in the low class.

Previous issue date: 2016-03-16<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to establish he relation between audibility for speech sounds and speech recognition in children with neurosensory hearing loss using hearing aid. Method: The subjects of this study were 40 children with moderate to severe hearing loss, of both sexes, with chronological age between tive and 12 years. Initially, the factors that may influence the analyzed subjects' performances in speech recognition tests were assessed. The investigated factors were: audibility for speech, according to Speech intelligibility index (SII); chronological age; audiometric characteristics; information regarding audiologic rehabilitation; means of communication and test material. Finally, groups composed by children with similar SII values were compared in order to identify the individual characteristics of each group and the aspects able to distinguish on group from the other. The studied variables were: audiologic and hearing aid use characteristics (time of sensory deprivation and mean hours of daily use) and performance in recognition of words and consonants. Results: The analysis showed that the SII values had a weak to moderate relation with speech recognition results. Regarding the other variables concerning the child, only the audiometric thresholds were also related to the child's behavior on the test, though this relation ,was always weak. There were statistical differences identified in the performances on the speech material, better for words with greater linguistic content. Finally, children in the group with better audibility - GrSII-1 had better performances in the speech recognition
test, however, with more heterogeneous results among its members n compared
to the group with lower audibility - GrSII-2. GrSII-1's recognition performance was more susceptible to the influence of other factors, such as time of sensory deprivation. The results of the group with lower audibility was more influenced by ifs audiometric limitations since children in this group had more errors than those in the first group, and these errors were mainly for speech segments with low acoustic energy. Conclusion: Audibility for speech, measured based on SII values is related to the performances of neurosensory hearing impaired children using individual hearing aid in speech recognition tests. However, it must be considered that, although this relation exists, SII represents only the speech signal that is accessible and useful through the hearing aid, and is incapable of expressing adverse factors that may influence the performance of children, such as adequate auditory stimulation deprivation or the test's material characteristic<br>Objetivo: O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi estabelecer a relação entre
audibilidade para sons de fala e reconhecimento de fala em crianças com deficiência
auditiva neurossensorial usuárias de Aparelho de Amplificação Sonora Individual
(AASI). Método: Participaram deste estudo 40 crianças com perda auditiva de grau
moderado a severo, de ambos os sexos e idade cronológica entre cinco e 12 anos.
Inicialmente, foram pesquisados os fatores que poderiam influenciar o desempenho
dos sujeitos analisados em teste de reconhecimento de fala, sendo investigados:
audibilidade para fala, a partir de valores de Índice de Inteligibilidade de Fala - mais
comumente denominado de SII; idade cronológica; características audiométricas;
informações relacionadas à reabilitação auditiva; meio de comunicação e material de
teste. Por último, grupos formados por crianças que possuíam valores de SII
similares foram comparados buscando-se identificar as características individuais de
cada grupo e os aspectos capazes de distinguir um grupo do outro, sendo
pesquisadas como variáveis: as características audiológicas, de uso de AASI (tempo
de privação sensorial e média de horas de uso por dia) e desempenho de
reconhecimento de palavra e consoantes. Resultados: A análise mostrou que
valores de SII tiveram relação fraca a moderada com resultados de reconhecimento
de fala. Em relação às demais variáveis relacionadas à criança, foram identificadas
que somente os limiares audiométricos também tiveram relação com o
comportamento das crianças no teste, porém essa relação foi sempre fraca. Quanto
ao material de fala, foram identificadas diferenças estatísticas entre os
desempenhos, sendo melhores para palavras com maior conteúdo linguístico. Por
último, foi observado que crianças pertencentes ao grupo com melhor audibilidade -
GrSII-1, possuíam melhor desempenho em teste de reconhecimento de fala, porém,
com resultados mais heterogêneos entre seus membros, se comparado ao grupo
com menor audibilidade - GrSII-2. O desempenho de reconhecimento do GrSII-1 se
mostrou mais suscetível à influencia de outros fatores, como o tempo de privação
sensorial, já os resultados do grupo com menor audibilidade se mostrou mais
influenciado por suas limitações audiométricas, sendo que crianças desse grupo
tiveram mais erros do que do primeiro grupo, e esses erros foram principalmente
para segmentos de fala com baixa energia acústica. Conclusão: A audibilidade para
fala, mensurada a partir de valores de SII, tem relação com desempenhos de
crianças com deficiência auditiva neurossensorial usuárias de AASI em teste de
reconhecimento de fala. No entanto, deve-se levar em consideração que, apesar
dessa relação existir, o SII representa apenas que o sinal de fala está acessível e útil
por meio do AASI, sendo incapaz de expressar fatores adversos que podem ter
influencia sobre o desempenho das crianças, como a privação de estimulação
auditiva adequada ou característica do material de teste

Previous issue date: 2015<br>O termo ironia tem significados diversos e conceitos que não se limitam a dizer o contrário do sentido literal do enunciado. Já discutido anteriormente por diversos autores, a ironia designa, em geral, algo expresso em estado de significado figurativo, relacionando-se com seus significados literais; mais especificamente em sua acepção retórica, a ironia pontua a intenção do locutor de forma a deixar entender uma distância intencional entre aquilo que dizemos e aquilo que realmente pensamos. A ironia pode ser considerada, também, uma estratégica no discurso, uma vez que ela permite ao locutor escapar às normas de coerência que toda argumentação impõe. Partindo da hipótese de que há distinção prosódica e discursiva entre a expressão irônica, neutra ou não-atitudinal e a leitura, considerando aqui os parâmetros prosódicos de F0 e duração, e os parâmetros discursivos de pistas de contextualização, objetivamos verificar o papel da prosódia e das pistas de contextualização na construção da ironia. O estudo usou como corpus uma seleção de 29 enunciados irônicos e 16 enunciados neutros retirados do Programa CQC (fala espontânea); além de leitura e de atuação desses enunciados por atores (fala lida e fala atuada). Embasamo-nos, teoricamente, na definição pluriparamétrica de prosódia, verificando as características pontuais de F0 (máxima, mínima, inicial, final), o movimento final de F0 (início e fim) e demais movimentos realizados; duração total, da pré-tônica final e da tônica final, presença e duração de pausas e cálculo de taxas de elocução e articulação. Para análise discursiva, nos orientamos pelas pistas de contextualização e suas convenções sociais, descrevemos os movimentos multimodais (faciais e corporais) na expressão irônica e verificamos como o contexto implica na realização das pistas de contextualização. Os resultados revelaram que a ironia não prevê um único padrão entonacional, uma vez que para cada locutor observou-se o uso de estratégias individuais, mas que há modificações prosódicas relevantes para a expressão irônica que, em junção a outros recursos linguísticos, como os gestos e o contexto, respondem pela construção do sentido irônico e são pistas para a interpretação deste sentido pelo ouvinte. Os valores pontuais de F0 apresentaram uma tendência de serem maiores na ironia do que no neutro, na fala espontânea; na fala atuada, esses valores são maiores na ironia de maneira significativa. Em relação à duração, seja do enunciado ou das sílabas observadas, não houve um padrão de uso para diferenciar ironia de neutro. As audições e análises nos mostraram, ainda, que os informantes fizeram uso de prolongamentos, risos e interjeições durante a expressão da ironia, o que interferiu no aumento da duração em enunciados irônicos, principalmente nos atuados. No que tange ao estudo discursivo dos enunciados analisados, percebemos que a função comunicacional dos sujeitos envolvidos na enunciação da ironia é bem definida, embora muitas a intenção do sujeito comunicante possa não coincidir com a percepção do sujeito interpretante. Em relação à comparação entre ironia atuada e neutra, pode-se verificar um uso mais exagerado da prosódia na expressão irônica para a fala atuada. Tudo isso nos mostra que a ironia depende do contexto de comunicação, assim como da entonação para ser construída como tal. Assim, evidenciamos que as formas de expressão de ironia contam com estratégias comunicacionais, pistas de contextualização e escolhas entonacionais como agentes da construção do significado desse afeto social. ___________________________________________________________________________<br>ABSTRACT: The irony term has lots of meanings and concepts that can go beyond of telling only the contrary of the statement literal meaning. Already studied by many authors, the irony designates, in general, something expressed in a state of figurative meaning, relating with their literal meanings; specifically in their rhetoric meaning, the irony points the intention of the speaker implying an intentional gap between what we say and what we really think. The irony can also be considered a strategy in discourse, once it allows the speaker escape the consistency standards that every argumentation requires. Starting from the hypothesis that there is prosodic and discursive distinction between the ironic expression, neutral or non-attitudinal and reading, considering the prosodic parameters of F0 and duration, and the discursive parameters of contextualization cues, we aimed to determine the role of prosody and contextualization cues in the irony construction. The study used as corpus a selection of 29 ironic statements and 16 neutral statements taken from the CQC Program (spontaneous speech); includind reading and performance of these statements by actors (read speech and acted speech). Based, theoretically, in the multiparametric prosody definition, checking the specific characteristics of F0 (maximum, minimum, initial, final values), the final movement of F0 (beginning and end) and other movements performed; duration: total, final pre-tonic and final tonic durations, presence and duration of pauses and elocution and articulation rates. For discursive analysis, we are guided by the contextualization cues and its social conventions, we describe the multimodal movements (facial and corporal) in the ironic expression and verified as the context implies the realization of contextualization cues. The results revealed that irony doesn’t provide a single intonation standard, once for each speaker noted the use of individual strategies, but there is relevant prosodic modifications to the ironic expression that, in joining the other linguistic features, such as gestures and the context, are responsible for the construction of the ironic meaning and are clues to the interpretation of this meaning by the listener. The point values of F0 showed a tendency to be higher in the irony instead of the neutral in spontaneous speech; in actuated speech these values are higher in irony, significantly. In relation to duration, whether the statement or observed syllables, there wasn’t a pattern of use to distinguish neutral to irony. The hearings and analysis also showed that the participants made use of extensions, laughts and interjections during the expression of irony, which interfered with the increasing duration in ironic statements, mainly actuated. With respect to discursive study of the analyzed statements, we realized that the communication function of the individuals involved in the irony utterance is well defined, although often the intention of communicating subject can not match with the perception of the subject interpreter. In relation to the comparison between actuated and neutral irony, one can see a more exaggerated use of prosody in acted speech to the ironic expression. All this shows that irony depends on the context of communication, as well as intonation to be construed as such. Thus, we noted that the expression forms of irony count with communication strategies, contextualization cues and intonation choices as agents of the construction of the meaning.

Aguwa, Henrietta. "Nursing Education to Prevent Resident Falls in Long-Term Care." ScholarWorks, 2019. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/7455.
Full textAbstract:
Residents in nursing facilities are more prone to falls than those living in the community. Injuries resulting from falls impact residents, their families, and healthcare costs. The gap in nursing practice was the lack of a comprehensive fall-prevention program in a long-term care facility that had experienced high fall rates among residents. This project addressed whether an educational program using the American Medical Directors Association's clinical practice guideline and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, & Injuries) toolkit for fall- prevention improved the self-efficacy of direct-care staff in preventing falls among residents in a long-term care facility. The practice-focused question focused on whether education on the use of an integrated multifactorial fall-prevention guideline would increase confidence of long-term care staff in reducing falls in long-term care residents. The evaluation used the 11-item Self-Efficacy for Preventing Falls-Nurse scale for 5 licensed nursing staff and the 8-item Self-Efficacy for Preventing Falls-Assistant scale for 21 nursing assistants. The positive change in self-efficacy scores of nurses and nursing assistants after the education program was greatest for face-to-face team communication regarding fall risk and individual resident prevention plans. The use of best-practice guidelines that improve fall risk-assessment and use of fall precautions to decrease the number of falls and falls with injury has the potential to bring about positive social change by improving the nursing care of nursing home residents, resulting in improved resident safety and quality of life.

Full textAbstract:
Fly High Fall Silently was a modern dance concert choreographed and directed by MFA Candidate, Jennifer Butler. The concert was presented May 7-11th as the Footholds III Concert of the 2002/2003 season in the Ernest Lab Theater at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa. The concert consisted of five original pieces of choreography, four interludes and a video performed by University of Hawaiʻi students and alumni. With the concert now over, it is time to reflect upon and evaluate the choreography, production and performance process. In my original proposal I stated specific goals for Fly High Fall Silently. Among these goals was the desire to challenge myself as a choreographer and director. Throughout the creation of the concert I was challenged on levels I could not have possibly imagined. In the end, I feel that I accomplished almost all of the goals I put forth in my proposal, as there was very little deviation from my original plans. I incorporated all of the proposed choreography into the concert. The choreography for the concert included both reconstructed pieces and new choreography. All of the dances evolved in some way during the creative process. For the purpose of these reflections, I will follow the format of my thesis proposal. My proposal acted as my guide throughout the many months of preparing the ninety-minute (with intermission) concert. In my proposal I stated that, "The MFA Concert can and will help me further hone my talent and the skills I have learned in my training." This has proven to be profoundly true. Fly High Fall Silently helped me grow as a choreographer, dancer, teacher, director and producer. I developed and refined skills I already had, and learned new skills that I believe are essential for a dance choreographer to possess. This paper will present description of casting, concert concept and content, each of the dance pieces, use of video production, and the other production components of the concert. The focus for each area will be on the process and what I learned through the experience. The title, Fly High Fall Silently, poetically describes my personal three passions in dance: dancing, creating dances and teaching dance. As a dancer, I love how it feels to be in the air, to move freely, and to interact with the environment. I love to move wildly and softly, high and silently. I love to become one with the movement and let the dance move through me. As a choreographer, I love the idea of creating without boundaries, letting the inspiration guide me to find new movement in unexpected places. Creating dances for me is both an invigorating high and a humbling low in that I love it and feel powerless next to it. Choreographing fills me with energy and then takes all of my energy and leaves me silent and exhausted. As a teacher, Fly High Fall Silently reflects my belief that dance can take each person to a new place and that the journey changes us in the process. Through dance we can become stronger, wiser. Fly High Fall Silently, the concert, was a culminating experience of many years of dancing. It will not be the last concert I ever choreograph and produce nor was it a stellar work of art. In reflection I can see it was a good concert, aesthetically and intellectually stimulating. This paper will reflect on this amazing and difficult journey to see what was done well and what could be improved.<br>iii, 75 leaves

År 2011 asfalterade Falu Återvinning 5 500 m2 för att användas till rötslamkompostering. I samband med detta gav Länsstyrelsen i Dalarnas Län ett utredningsvillkor. Utredningsvillkoret går ut på att Falu Återvinning ska undersöka vad det förorenade dagvattnet innehåller och i vilka mängder, hur stora dagvattenflödena är, vilken påverkan på omgivningen dagvattnet har samt att förslag ges till lämpligt omhändertagande av dagvatten. I dagsläget går majoriteten av dagvattnet till en lakvattendamm och resterande går till Stångtjärnsbäcken, ett vattendrag som är fiskförande. Denna rapport ska fungera som underlag till en framtida utökning av Egenkontrollprogrammet för Vatten på Falu Återvinning med avseende på dagvatten. Egenkontroll innebär att verksamheter som kan medföra olägenheter för människors och miljöns hälsa är skyldiga att kontrollera verksamhetens påverkan. Syftet med examensarbetet var att planera och genomföra provtagning samt utvärdera analysresultat av dagvatten på Falu Återvinning. Erhållna analysresultat skulle ligga till grund för val av dagvattenhantering. Inför provtagningen undersöktes provtagningsmetoder och analysomfång. Provtagningsmetoderna inkluderade stickprov, blandprov och passiva provtagare. För- och nackdelar samt rådande förhållanden på anläggningen låg till grund för val av metod. Analysomfång valdes så att närsalter, tungmetaller, organiska summametoder och ett antal miljögifter undersöktes. Vilka miljögifter som skulle analyseras valdes utifrån avfallet som behandlas på Falu Återvinning. De erhållna analysresultaten utvärderades och låg till grund för rekommendation av dagvattenhantering. Då en ekonomisk lösning av dagvattenrening önskades undersöktes enkla och/eller naturliga reningsmetoder som inte kräver avancerad teknologi och är billiga i drift. Metoder som undersöktes var dagvattendammar, översilningsytor, avsättningsmagasin och alternativet att skicka dagvatten till Främby Avloppsreningsverk. Dagvattnet från Falu Återvinning visades innehålla framförallt höga halter av närsalter, zink och organiskt material. Provtagningspunkten DV5 visade indikationer på att framträngande grundvatten eventuellt kan ha förorenats av lakvatten från en intilliggande deponi. Detta på grund av väldigt höga halter av organiskt material, alkalinitet, klorid och ammoniumkväve. Framförallt de höga halterna av klorid och ammoniumkväve antydde att grundvattnet i området kunde ha förorenats av lakvatten. Dagvattnet i provtagningspunkten DV1 visade förhöjda halter av kadmium, koppar, zink och organiskt material. Den högsta halten av sulfat observerades i denna punkt, dock låg halten under riktvärdet för sulfat i dricksvatten. Även halter av PCB kunde detekteras i DV1. DV3 hade höga halter av bly, organiskt material och närsalter, men vattnet i denna punkt går i dagsläget till en lakvattendamm. DV4 hade väldigt varierande sammansättning, men visade förhöjda halter av organiskt material, kväve och koppar. Dagvattnet i DV1 och DV4 bör inte släppas ut i Stångtjärnsbäcken. Bästa hanteringsmetoden för dagvatten på Falu Återvinning förefaller vara anläggandet av en dagvattendamm alternativt att dagvattnet skickas till Främby Avloppsreningsverk.<br>In 2011, Falu Återvinning laid out 5 500 m2 of new tarmac to be used as storage space, mostly for digested sludge composting. In a correlation with this the County Administrative Board of Dalarna gave an investigation condition. This condition meant that the storm water at Falu Återvinning was to be examined in regards of pollution concentrations, masses, flows and possible environmental impact on the surroundings. The condition also meant that an appropriate treatment of the storm water was to be suggested. Today, the majority of the storm water is lead to an existing leachate pond while the remaining storm water goes to the Stångtjärnsbäck, which is a stream with a certain protection value since it contains fish. This report will serve as a basis for future expansion of the Self-monitoring program for Water at Falu Återvinning in regards of storm water. Self-monitoring means that businesses that can cause harm to human and/or environmental health have an obligation to monitor this impact. The purpose of the thesis project was to plan and carry out a sample-taking of the storm water at Falu Återvinning, and evaluate the results of the analyzes. These results were to be used as the basis of choosing appropriate treatment of the storm water. Prior to sampling, different sampling methods and the extent of the analyze were investigated. The sampling methods included grab and composite samples as well as passive sampling devices. The advantages and disadvantages of the different sampling methods as well as the conditions at Falu Återvinning formed the basis for the choice of method. The extent of the analyzes were chosen so that this included nutrient salts, heavy metals, organic parameters and a number of environmental pollutants. Which environmental pollutants were to be examined was chosen by consideration to the waste that is treated at Falu Återvinning. The acquired results were evaluated and used as a base for the recommendation of appropriate treatment of storm water at Falu Återvinning. An economical solution was desired so simple and/or natural treatment processes were investigated, since these are cheaper to run and requires less advanced technology. Processes that were investigated were storm water ponds, grassed areas, detention basins and the possibility to send the storm water to the local wastewater treatment facility, Främby Avloppsreningsverk. The investigated storm water at Falu Återvinning showed high concentrations of foremost nutrient salts, zinc and organic material. The sampling point of DV5 indicated that penetrated ground water may have been polluted by leachate from a nearby landfill. This is due to very high concentrations of organic material, alkalinity, chloride and ammonia nitrogen. Especially the very high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and chloride indicated a pollution of leachate. The storm water in the sampling point DV1 showed elevated concentrations of cadmium, copper, zinc and organic materials. The highest concentrations of sulfate were found in this sampling point, although these values were lower than the guideline value of sulfate in drinking water. Concentrations of PCB were detected in DV1. DV3 contained high concentrations of lead, organic materials and nutrient salts, but the storm water in this point is collected and sent to the leachate pond. The composition of DV4 was the most varying out of all the sampling points, but showed high concentrations of organic materials, nitrogen and copper. The stormwater in sampling points DV1 and DV4 should not be lead to the Stångtjärnsbäck. The best treatment options for the storm water at Falu Återvinning would either be a storm water pond or the ability to send the water to the wastewater treatment facility Främby Avloppsreningsverk.

Full textAbstract:
A palavra permanentemente em fuga tem sido minha experiência tanto no esforço de construção de uma linguagem capaz de tecer vínculos e alguma transitividade entre as pessoas que constituem o meu mundo, como no exercício da professora que tenho sido. Esta professora que deseja deixar esvanecer-se o sentido dos conceitos de \"professor de interpretação\" e de \"professor de voz\", substituindo-os pelo ato de compartilhamento no movimento cíclico de fazer perguntas, construir caminhos de investigação, trilhá-los, duvidar dos pontos de chegada e desconstruí-los a partir dos novos questionamentos que necessariamente a vida e sua manifestação no teatro elaboram. Tanto a atuação, em seu caráter de ato público, como os fugazes encontros com a voz própria e plena, parecem-me depender da disposição do sujeito que fala em localizar na própria história seus impedimentos e sua força, seja para habitar integralmente aquilo que sua fala quer conter, seja para fazer-se ouvir no mar de ruídos em que estamos submersos. Estas reflexões se organizam a partir de uma leitura de meu próprio corpo, flagrado em abandono à experiência de perceber e compreender o entrelaçamento da memória de fatos e atos ao corpo que vai definindo sua forma e presença ao fazer os percursos que escolhe fazer. E objetivam dar a conhecer algumas camadas do pensamento que guia meu cotidiano de trabalho na lida com a impermanência e precariedade de nossas palavras. Este trabalho que é repetidamente provocado pelo paradoxo entre a necessidade de preparação das vozes dos atores e o cada vez mais forte anseio do teatro contemporâneo por uma ação e uma presença guiadas mais pelas respostas instintivas aos estímulos do que pela elaboração consciente e minuciosa das cenas que se queiram fixar.<br>The ever escaping word has been my experience as much in the effort of building a language able of weaving bonds and some transitivity between the people that constitute my world, as in the exercise of the teacher that I have been. A teacher who is wishful of letting the meaning of the concepts of \"Acting Teacher\" and \"Voice Teacher\" fade away, replacing them by the act of sharing in the cyclic movement of asking questions, constructing investigation ways, traveling through them, doubting their destinations and deconstructing them as of new inquiries that life and its manifestation in theatre necessarily elaborate. Acting, in its public aspect, as much as the fleeting encounters with its own and full voice, seem to depend on the disposition of the individual in finding in their own history their obstacles and their strenght, be it as a way to integrally inhabit that of which of your word wants to hold, be it to make it heard in the sea of noises where we are submersed. These reflections are organized from a reading of my own body, caught in abandonment to the experience of noticing and understanding the memory web of facts and acts to the body that gains definition as it takes the roads it chooses to take. And they aim to give some thinking layers that guide my everyday work in the dealing with the impermanence and precariousness of our words. This work that is repeatedly challenged by the paradox between the need to prepare the voices of the actors and the contemporary theatre\'s increasingly strong desire for an action and a presence guided more by instincts than by the conscious and detailed preparation and repetition of the scenes.

No. of bitstreams: 0<br>Esta dissertação consiste na descrição e análise da dinâmica de interação em um espaço de sociabilidade construído no "ciberespaço". Esse espaço se define pelas interações continuadas entre os participantes da lista de discussão Cibercultura-L, criada com o objetivo de constituir um canal de comunicação entre os diversos atores da "cibercultura" para a discussão dos fenômenos sociais e culturais engendrados no "ciberespaço". Analisadas sob a perspectiva da Etnografia da Fala, as discussões desenroladas na Cibercultura-L foram analisadas como eventos comunicativos governados por regras de uso e interpretação de um sistema de linguagem próprio - construído, em parte, para contornar as limitações da modalidade - cujo aprendizado define a competência comunicativa que unifica os participantes da lista em uma comunidade de fala. A negociação em torno dessas regras acontece no cotidiano de interação na lista e se torna mais intensa quando o sentido de comunidade compartilhado no grupo é ameaçado pela desconsideração de algum dos aspectos que lhe caracterizam dentre os outros grupos sociais formados no "ciberespaço". A Cibercultura-L se configura como um espaço simbólico de sociabilidade, construído na comunicação mediada por computador, que coexiste com outros espaços, igualmente simbólicos, que, juntos, fazem do "ciberespaço" mais uma dimensão da vida social contemporânea caracterizada pela interação entre grupos e segmentos sociais diferenciados.

No. of bitstreams: 0<br>Nesse trabalho, apresentamos uma possibilidade de leitura do fenômeno literário, baseada na conjunção entre a reflexão literária de Maurice Merleau-Ponty e a metapoesia de João Cabral de Melo Neto, visto ambos concederem um relevado destaque aos aspectos contingentes da experiência expressiva com a palavra, reconhecendo, portanto, para essa mesma experiência, e a despeito das formas de reflexão e poetar ditas sagradas ou absolutas, uma valorização incomum da ordem artesanal e sempre inacabada do fazer. Essa atitude, que reconhecemos tanto no poeta quanto no filósofo - pautada, ainda, pela não adesão seja às teses consagradas por uma certa tradição, seja àquelas oriundas das próprias críticas dirigidas às formas de reflexão e de composição por eles mesmos instauradas - está, no texto, mediada por uma proporcionalidade não só conceitual mas também plástica, gráfica e visualmente estabelecida, por entre as teses apresentadas, a partir da apropriação de alguns princípios norteadores da pintura neoplástica de Piet Mondrian - uma das afinidades eletivas do percurso antilírico de João Cabral.

Previous issue date: 2013<br>Esta tese tem por objetivo principal apontar as características acústicas dos segmentos plosivos e fricativos do português brasileiro, observadas na fala infantil (dos 6 aos 12 anos de idade), buscando verificar se, após o "término" da aquisição fonológica, ainda existe um período de refinamento articulatório. Para tanto, foram realizadas gravações de fala de crianças de 6 anos, 8 anos, 10 anos e 12 anos, bem como de um grupo de adultos, usado como referência, a partir de um corpus especialmente elaborado para esta pesquisa. No estudo fonético acústico, são analisados parâmetros quantitativos (como taxa de elocução dos falantes, VOT, duração total e relativa dos segmentos e momentos espectrais: centroide, variância, assimetria e curtose) e qualitativos (nos quais são analisadas características não descritas habitualmente na literatura para os segmentos em questão - aqui chamadas de "especificidades acústicas" - e discutidas a partir da perspectiva dinâmica da Fonologia Acústico-Articulatória). Quanto à análise quantitativa, como principais resultados, têm-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos etários na taxa de elocução e somente nos valores absolutos de VOT para os plosivos e de duração total para os fricativos. Os parâmetros temporais relativos (VOT e duração) apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente relevantes em apenas dois segmentos ([b] e [s]), o que parece demonstrar que estejam adquiridos adequadamente desde os 6 anos de idade. Quanto à análise qualitativa, destacam-se a frequência e a distribuição da aspiração dos segmentos plosivos não vozeados e a observação de características acústicas inabituais, em um número maior no grupo de 6 anos de idade, diminuindo gradativamente com o avanço da idade. Esses achados dão indícios da gradiência do gesto articulatório, também presente na fala adulta, e parecem corroborar a hipótese de um período de refinamento articulatório, mesmo após o "término" da aquisição fonológica, uma vez que as habilidades motoras da fala vão se aprimorando até que o gesto articulatório esteja estabilizado, tanto em sua organização temporal quanto em sua magnitude. <br>
