Resumo Este artigo é uma revisão de literatura sobre as pesquisas desenvolvidas pelos pesquisadores do grupo LEAD (Legendagem e Audiodescrição) da Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE) sobre a leitura de legendas por espectadores surdos e ensurdecidos em meios audiovisuais. Estes estudos têm como suporte teórico-metodológico a Tradução Audiovisual Acessível (TAVa) e buscam um modelo de Legendagem para Surdos e Ensurdecidos (LSE) que atenda às necessidades dos espectadores surdos e ensurdecidos, contribuindo para a formação de legendistas e para a acessibilidade dos programas audiovisuais brasileiros. Dessa forma, nosso objetivo tem sido investigar como os parâmetros em legendagem, validados pela literatura da área, influenciam o processamento de legendas por espectadores surdos e ensurdecidos. As metodologias vão desde estudos exploratórios a experimentais baseados no uso de rastreamento ocular. Os mais recentes resultados têm demonstrado que os surdos conseguem processar legendas em velocidade consideradas altas (180 palavras por minuto), desde que o parâmetro de segmentação linguística na quebra de linhas das legendas siga o mais alto nível sintático, conforme já preconizavam os teóricos Karamitroglou e Diaz Cintas e Remael.

Abstract This paper is a literature review on research conducted by members of the group LEAD (Subtitling and Audio description) from the State University of Ceará (UECE) on reading of subtitles by deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers of audiovisual media. These studies are within the theoretical and methodological framework of Acessible Audiovisual Translation (AAVT) and seek a model of Subtitling for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (SDH) that meets the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, contributing to the training of subtitlers and to the accessibility of Brazilian audiovisual media. Likewise, our objective has been to explore how subtitling parameters, validated by the literature of this field, influence the processing of subtitles by deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. The methodologies of these studies range from exploratory to experimental ones based on eye tracking. The most recent results have showed that deaf viewers can process subtitles at what is considered to be a fast rate (180 words per minute) if the parameter of segmentation between line breaks takes place at the highest syntactic node possible, according to what has been attested by the theorists Karamitroglou and Diaz Cintas and Remael.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate performance, apparent digestibility, blood parameters, and quantitative characteristics of carcass and internal organs of crossbred dairy calves fed different levels of crude glycerin in corn grain-based diets. Twenty-four calves of three months of age and average initial weight of 95.5±11.8 kg were used. The experimental design was completely randomized with four treatments (0, 80, 160, and 240 g kg−1 of crude glycerin of DM of diets). The calves were fed in feedlot until six months of age (195.68±2.38 kg of BW). Dry matter (4.14, 4.11, 3.80, and 3.49 kg day−1) and apparent digestible energy intake (0.43, 0.41, 0.37, and 0.35 MJ kg−1 BW) decreased with increasing levels of glycerin in the diets. There was no effect on the apparent digestibility of nutrients, average daily gain, feed efficiency, carcass characteristics, and blood parameters. The diets did not influence the weights [g kg−1 of empty body weight (EBW)] of lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, omasum, abomasum, and large intestine. The reticulorumen weight (g kg−1 EBW) increased, whereas the small intestine weight decreased with increased levels of glycerin in the diets. The area, height, and width of the rumen papillae were not changed with increasing levels of glycerin. The rumen wall thickness increased with increasing levels of glycerin in the diets. The inclusion up to 240 g kg−1 DM of crude glycerin of in corn grain-based diets for the production of dairy calves does not alter animal performance, carcass characteristics, and weights of internal organs.

RESUMO Este trabalho tem o objetivo de descrever a segmentação na legendagem, ou seja, a distribuição das falas em duas ou mais legendas. Os dados colhidos em projetos anteriores realizados pelo grupo Legendagem e Audiodescrição (LEAD) da UECE sugerem que uma segmentação adequada pode garantir uma boa recepção por parte de surdos. Isso está acontecendo até mesmo na recepção a legendas muito rápidas. Com o suporte teórico-metodológico dos Estudos da Tradução, mais especificamente da Tradução Audiovisual (TAV) e da Linguística de Corpus, a metodologia envolveu uma dimensão descritiva pautada por análises quanti-qualitativas. eForam analisadas quatro novelas exibidas por emissoras brasileiras que disponibilizam legendas do tipo pop-on, usadas para transmitir programas pré-gravados. A legenda pop-on é aquela cujas frases ou sentenças surgem como um todo e não palavra por palavra, como acontece com a legenda rotativa. Os resultados mostraram que, para as novelas, os maiores problemas de segmentação encontrados estão na quebra entre os constituintes do sintagma verbal.

ABSTRACT This paper aims at describing the parameter of segmentation in subtitling, that is, the distribution of the lines in two or more subtitles. The data collected in previous projects carried out by the UECE’s Subtitling and Audiodescription (LEAD) group suggests that adequate segmentation could guarantee good reception by the deaf. This is happening even in reception to very fast subtitles. With the theoretical-methodological support of Translation Studies, more specifically of Audiovisual Translation (AVT) and Corpus Linguistics, the methodology involved a descriptive dimension based on quantitative-qualitative analysis. Four soap operas exhibited by Brazilian TV Channels that provide pop-on subtitles, the type used to broadcast prerecorded programs were analyzed. The pop-on subtitle is the one whose phrases or sentences appear as a whole and not word for word as with the roll-up subtitle. The results showed that, for soap operas, the main problems of segmentation found are in the break between the constituents of the verbal phrase.

Resumo A Audiodescrição (AD), recurso utilizado para tornar o teatro, o cinema, a TV, bem como obras de arte visuais, acessíveis a pessoas com deficiência visual, vem aos poucos sendo implantada no Brasil e demandando profissionais capacitados. Com base nessa constatação, este artigo traz o relato de um projeto desenvolvido durante estágio pós-doutoral que se dedicou ao confronto da estética cinematográfica com as técnicas de audiodescrição a fim de verificar como o conhecimento da primeira pode contribuir para a formação do audiodescritor. Por meio da pesquisa-ação, foi produzido um curta metragem adaptado de um conto de Mário de Andrade intitulado O Peru de Natal. O filme homônimo, assim como sua audiodescrição, foram realizados pelos alunos e professores da disciplina Tradução Intersemiótica do curso de Letras da Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE). Assim, pretendeu-se sugerir procedimentos didáticos que partiram da experiência dos alunos ao avaliarem suas escolhas e as implicações destas.

Abstract Audio description (AD), a resource used to make theater, cinema, TV, and visual works of art accessible to people with visual impairments, is slowly being implemented in Brazil and demanding qualified professionals. Based on this statement, this article reports the results of a research developed during post-doctoral studies. The study is dedicated to the confrontation of film aesthetics with audio description techniques to check how the knowledge of the former can contribute to audiodescritor training. Through action research, a short film adapted from a Mario de Andrade’s, a Brazilian writer, short story called O Peru de Natal (Christmas Turkey) was produced. The film as well as its audio description were carried out involving students and teachers from the discipline Intersemiotic Translation at the State University of Ceará. Thus, we intended to suggest pedagogical procedures generated by the students experiences by evaluating their choices and their implications.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of corn milling and the inclusion of babassu mesocarp bran (BMB) on productive performance, digestibility of dietary nutrients, and blood parameters of dairy crossbred (Holstein-Gyr) bulls finished in confinement. Twenty-four bulls were fed four different experimental diets, containing two levels of inclusion of BMB (0 and 41.24%) and corn supplied in two different forms (ground and whole), for 98 days (77 days of data collection and 21 days of adaptation). The intakes and digestibility coefficients of the dry matter (DM) and nutrients were determined. There were no significant interaction effects of the BMB inclusion level and the form of corn used on the performance and digestibility variables. The intakes of DM, crude protein (CP), and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) increased with the inclusion of BMB in the diets. However, the inclusion of BMB in the diets decreased the ether extract intake, the NDF apparent digestibility, and the feed efficiency of DM and CP. Dry matter and NDF intakes also increased with the use of ground corn in the diet, which promoted an increase in the intake of total digestible nutrients (TDN), digestibility of non-fibrous carbohydrates, and average daily gain. However, the supply of ground corn reduced the feed efficiency of TDN. The remaining measured variables did not vary with the tested diets. The levels of plasma protein and albumin remained normal, but glucose concentrations were always high, irrespective of the tested diet. The form of corn supplied and the level of BMB inclusion had a significant interaction effect on the levels of triglycerides, urea, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase. Babassu mesocarp bran can be included up to 41.24% in the diet of confined bulls without a negative effect on the animal weight gain. Corn should be supplied ground because this form improves the performance of crossbred bulls

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of grinding corn and inclusion of babassu mesocarp bran (BMB) in the diet of crossbred dairy young bulls finished in feedlot on their carcass and meat characteristics. Twenty-four young bulls were fed four experimental diets containing two BMB inclusion levels (0 and 41.24%) and corn in two forms of processing (ground and whole grains) for 98 days, and then slaughtered in a commercial packing plant. Among the quantitative carcass characteristics, there was interaction only in fat trimmings/whole hot carcass weight and cold carcass yield. The whole hot carcass and hot carcass weights showed reduced means with the use of whole corn. The other quantitative variables were not separately affected by BMB inclusion levels or by the form corn was processed. There was interaction between the factors for pistol cut weight, edible portion and weight of the cuts of the pistol cut, in which the use of whole corn and BMB promoted reduction in the mean values. The use of the whole corn grain reduced the participation of flank cut and elevated the participation of the bone fraction in the carcass. Inclusion of 41.24% of BMB did not change the qualitative meat characteristics, but the use of corn grain resulted in darker meat. The use of whole corn resulted in alteration in the weight of cuts like eye of rump and striploin, which have a high commercial value. There was interaction between factors for the percentages of moisture and minerals of the meat, whereas the crude protein content was affected by the two factors. The use of diets with whole corn or with babassu mesocarp bran may modify the carcass and meat characteristics of finishing crossbred young bulls.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the use of babassu mesocarp meal (BMM) and corn in different physical forms on the feeding behavior of crossbred young bulls of a dairy breed. Twenty-four crossbred (Nellore vs. Holstein) steers (307.35 kg) were fed four experimental diets containing two levels of inclusion of the babassu mesocarp meal (0 and 412.4 g/kg) and corn in two physical forms (kernels or ground) for 98 days. Data was collected on three days during the finishing phase, with observations every five minutes, for 24 hours. When the activities performed by the animals were evaluated as a function of the period of the day, the physical form of the corn showed interaction with the BMM inclusion level on the time spent feeding and on other activities. When the activities were evaluated over the day, the defecation frequency was affected and decreased as BMM was included. The feeding time was longer at the moments that followed feed supply, whereas the time used for other activities increased during the morning period, regardless of the diet utilized. Rumination and idle times were affected by the period of the day and remained high during the night and morning periods. There was increase in feeding time and dry matter rumination efficiencies and neutral detergent fiber as BMM was added to the diet. The number of rumination chews per bolus, however, decreased as BMB was included. Inclusion of babassu mesocarp meal increases the animal feeding time but the physical form of corn does not change its feeding behavior.

Objetivou-se avaliar quatro teores de inclusão de farelo do mesocarpo de babaçu (Orbygnya spp.) no concentrado sobre o desempenho de bovinos confinados. Foram utilizados 24 bovinos machos (12 castrados e 12 não castrados) com idade e peso corporal médio de 33 meses e 332,1±24kg, respectivamente. As dietas foram isonitrogenadas, compostas por 44% de silagem de capim Mombaça e 56% de concentrado na matéria seca. O grão de milho do concentrado foi substituído pelo farelo do mesocarpo de babaçu em 0, 20, 40 e 60% da matéria seca. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi blocos inteiramente casualisados, com os tratamentos dispostos num fatorial 4x2 (quatro níveis de inclusão de farelo do mesocarpo de babaçu e duas condições sexuais). O consumo de matéria seca, em kg dia-1 e percentagem do peso corporal, não foi alterado pelos níveis de inclusão de farelo do mesocarpo de babaçu, com valores médios de 9,37kg e 2,54%, respectivamente. Os teores de inclusão de farelo do mesocarpo de babaçu não influenciaram no ganho de peso diário e na conversão alimentar, sendo os valores médios de 1,157kg dia-1 e 8,39kg de matéria seca kg-1 de ganho de peso. Os novilhos não castrados apresentaram maior ganho de peso médio diário (1,259kg dia-1) que os castrados (1.066kg dia-1), refletindo a melhor conversão alimentar (7,702 e 9,094kg de matéria seca kg-1 de ganho de peso, respectivamente). O farelo do mesocarpo de babaçu como fonte energética alternativa, pode ser utilizado para bovinos confinados em até 60% de inclusão no concentrado, em substituição ao grão de milho.

The objective was to evaluate four levels of inclusion of babassu mesocarp meal (Orbygnya spp.) in the concentrate on cattle feedlot performance. Twenty four animals (12 steers and 12 bulls) were used with age and body weight of 33 months and 332.1±24kg, respectively. Diets were isonitrogenous, composed of 44% of Mombasa grass silage and 56% of concentrate in dry matter. Corn grain of the concentrate fraction was replaced by babassu mesocarp meal at 0, 20, 40 and 60% in dry matter. The experimental design was randomized complete block, with factorial arrangement of treatments 4x2 (four levels of babassu mesocarp meal inclusion and two sexual conditions). Dry matter intake in kg day1 and percentage of body weight was not altered by the inclusion level of bran babassu mesocarp, with average values of 9.37kg day-1 and 2.54% respectively. Inclusion levels of babassu mesocarp meal did not affect daily weight gain and feed conversion the animals, with average values of 1.157kg day-1 and 8.39kg of dry matter kg-1 weight gain. Bulls had higher daily weight gain (1.259kg day-1) than steers (1.066kg day-1), reflecting a better feed conversion (7.702 and 9.094kg dry matter kg-1 weight gain, respectively). Babassu mesocarp meal, such as alternative energy source, can be fed to feedlot to the 60% level of inclusion in the concentrate, replacing corn grain.

Foram avaliadas a composição tecidual da carcaça e as características qualitativas da carne de 30 tourinhos mestiços (18,9 meses e 346,8kg iniciais) alimentados com dietas formuladas com diferentes proporções de farelo de mesocarpo de babaçu (Orbygnia sp.) em substituição ao milho: 0; 25; 50; 75 e 100% de substituição. Os animais foram abatidos com peso médio de 476,7kg. A porcentagem de músculo na carcaça aumentou de forma linear: 0,022% para cada ponto percentual de inclusão de farelo de mesocarpo de babaçu (FMB). Por sua vez, os percentuais de gordura e osso da carcaça variaram de forma quadrática, sendo a maior proporção de gordura observada quando a substituição de milho por FMB na dieta foi de 25% e a menor proporção de osso obtida com 50% de substituição. A relação porção comestível:osso foi maior com 42,5% de substituição do milho por FMB. À medida que se elevou a proporção de FMB nas dietas, houve decréscimo na espessura do coxão, escore muscular e compacidade da carcaça. A força de cisalhamento da carne teve acréscimos de 44kgf para cada ponto percentual de substituição do milho por FMB. Quanto à composição química da carne, verificou-se aumento no teor de matéria mineral. O uso de FMB em dietas de terminação de bovinos reduziu a maciez da carne, não alterando as demais características qualitativas.

We evaluated the carcass composition and meat qualitative characteristics, of 30 young crossbred bulls (18.9 months and 346.8kg) fed with diets with different proportion of babassu mesocarp bran (BMB) (Orbygnia sp.); replacing corn: 0, 25, 50, 70 and 100% substitution. The percentage of muscle in the carcass increased linearly, 0.022% for each percentage point of including BMB and the percentages of fat and bone had a quadratic response in which adipose tissue has increased until the replacement of 25% and bone tissue decreased to 50% substitution. The ratio of edible portion: bone increased up to 42.5%. As the levels of BMB increased, a decrease in cushion thickness, muscle score and carcass compactness occurred. The shear force of meat was increased by 44kgf for each percentage point of corn replacement. For the physical-chemical composition we observed an increase in the meat mineral matter. The use of BMB in finishing diets for beef cattle reduced the tenderness of the meat, not altering the other qualitative characteristics.

A audiodescrição (AD) é a tradução em palavras dos elementos visuais de uma produção audiovisual, tais como filmes, peças de teatro, jogos esportivos, obras de arte, dentre outros. A AD torna acessíveis essas produções audiovisuais a pessoas com deficiência visual. A pesquisa em AD de filmes vem se destacando dos demais tipos de AD, envolvendo tanto estudos descritivos quanto exploratórios. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de apresentar os resultados de um desses estudos desenvolvidos pelo grupo de estudo LEAD (Legendagem e Audiodescrição) na Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE), no âmbito do projeto de cooperação entre a UECE e a UFMG (PROCAD). O estudo em questão abordou a recepção de pessoas com deficiência visual ao filme O Grão, do cineasta cearense Petrus Cariry (2007). O filme fez parte de duas mostras de cinema acessível realizadas pelo LEAD, que cuidou do roteiro, gravação e edição. O LEAD também produziu O Grão em DVD, contendo menu com audionavegação, audiodescrição, legenda para surdos e janela de LIBRAS. A metodologia compreendeu uma dimensão descritiva, que classificou e analisou as inserções das descrições contidas no roteiro de AD, e outra exploratória, que aplicou um teste de recepção sobre a AD do filme com dois grupos de pessoas com deficiência visual, sendo um grupo com cegueira congênita e total e o outro com baixa visão. Após assistir ao filme, o participante com deficiência visual fazia um relato livre sobre sua compreensão do enredo do filme. Por fim, respondia a um questionário versando sobre a opinião deles sobre a AD. Todo o processo era filmado para que também as reações ao filme pudessem fazer parte dos protocolos de análise. Foram consideradas duas variáveis: o espectador com deficiência visual e o gênero do filme. Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença de recepção entre os dois grupos analisados, visto que os quatro participantes entenderam e apreciaram O Grão, considerado difícil para a maioria dos espectadores, pois foge à narrativa clássica do cinema de Hollywood. Os dados sugeriram que mesmo o cinema de autor pode ser apreciado por uma audiência com deficiência visual por meio da AD.

Audiodescription (AD) is the translation into words of the visual elements of an audiovisual production, such as films, plays, sportive events, and paintings, among others. AD makes these audiovisual productions accessible to people with visual impairment. Research on AD has been focusing on films, involving both descriptive and exploratory studies. This paper aims to present the results of one of these studies developed by the research group LEAD (legendagem and audiodescrição) at the State University of Ceará (UECE) under the cooperation project between the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and UECE (PROCAD). This study approached the reception of the visually impaired to the movie O Grão (The Grain) by the Brazilian filmmaker Petrus Cariri (2007). The film was part of two film festivals made accessible by LEAD, who handled its script, recording and editing. LEAD also produced The Grain on DVD with audionavigation menu, subtitling for the deaf, audiodescription and Sign Language interpreting. The methodology included a descriptive dimension, which classified and analyzed the description insertions contained in the AD script, and one exploratory, in which a reception test was applied with two groups of visually impaired participants. The first was formed by born blind subjects, and the second, low vision participants. After watching the film, the visually impaired participants made a free report about their understanding of the film plot. Then, they answered a questionnaire dealing with their opinion about the AD. The whole process was filmed for the reactions to the film to be part of the analysis protocols. Two variables were considered: the type of visual impairment and the film genre. The results showed no difference in reception between the two groups analyzed, since the four participants understood and enjoyed The Grain, a film regarded as difficult by most viewers, because it is different from the typical classical narrative presented by Hollywood. The data suggested that even an author's film can be enjoyed by a visually impaired audience by means of AD.

Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o consumo voluntário, a digestibilidade aparente e o balanço de nitrogênio em ovinos alimentados com dietas contendo torta de dendê. A adição da torta de dendê foi avaliada nos níveis 0; 20; 40; 60 e 80% em substituição à silagem de capim-elefante utilizando-se 20 ovinos machos castrados em um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado. Em todas as formas como foram expressos, o consumo e a digestibilidade de nutrientes apresentou em geral resposta quadrática aos níveis de torta de dendê utilizados na dieta. A inclusão de torta de dendê nas dietas teve efeito quadrático também sobre o balanço de nitrogênio, que aumentou até o nível de 45% de adição desse subproduto e decresceu, devido ao baixo consumo de proteína bruta nos maiores níveis. A torta de dendê possui características próprias de um alimento volumoso e tem como principal limitação o baixo consumo alimentar, por isso, seu uso na alimentação de ovinos deve ser restrito ao nível máximo de 37,34% da dieta total.

This research was conducted to evaluate the voluntary intake, the apparent digestibility and the nitrogen balance in sheep fed with diets containing palm kernel cake. The addition of palm kernel cake was assessed at the 0; 20; 40; 60 and 80% levels replacing the elephant grass silages by utilizing 20 castrated male sheep in a completely randomized design. In all the forms they were expressed, intake and digestibility of nutrients showed quadract effect at the levels of palm kernel pie utilized in the diet. The inclusion of palm kernel pie in the diets had quadract effect also on the nitrogen balance, due to low consumption of crude protein at higher levels. Palm kernel pie presents the characteristics of bulky feed, and its biggest limitation is the low feeding intake, hence, its use at sheep's feeding must be restricted to up to 37.34% of the total diet.

Idosos contaminados pelo HIV ampliam as estatísticas ao redor do mundo. Este estudo teve como objetivo geral descrever as características da Aids em pessoas com 60 anos de idade ou mais, atendidos em hospital de referência para HIV/Aids no Ceará, no período de 1989 a 2004. Desenvolveu-se pesquisa documental utilizando fichas de notificação compulsória de Aids disponíveis no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e dados do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM). Obteve-se notificação de 107 casos, dos quais 50 encontravam-se vivos e 57 foram a óbito. Pela análise observou-se crescimento progressivo dos casos, que, em sua maioria (77,5%), concentravam-se em Fortaleza. A faixa etária mais comprometida foi a de 60 a 69 anos (77,5%). Grande parte dos indivíduos mostrou baixo nível de escolaridade (44,0%). A subcategoria heterossexual aumentou ao longo do tempo. Evidenciou-se maior letalidade entre as mulheres (73,9%). O conjunto de dados analisados permite inferir que entre a população acima de 60 anos com Aids no Ceará verifica-se tendência semelhante às demais faixas etárias e fenômenos observados no país, a saber: heterossexualização, feminização, envelhecimento, pauperização.

Elderly people contaminated by the HIV are increasing statistics throughout the world. This study's main aim was to describe the characteristics of AIDS in people aged 60 and over, seen at a benchmark hospital for HIV / AIDS in Ceará, Brazil, in the period between 1989 and 2004. Documentary research was performed using compulsory AIDS reporting forms available on the National Reporting Information System (SINAN) and data from the Mortality Information System (SIM). There were 107 cases reported, of which 50 patients were still alive and 57 deceased. Based on the analysis, a progressive growth in cases was observed, most of which (77.5%) were concentrated in Fortaleza. The most affected age group was the one between 60 and 69 (77.5%). Many of the individuals showed low level of schooling (44.0%). The subcategory of heterosexuals grew over time. Mortality amongst women was found to be higher (73.9%). The set of data analyzed enables one to infer that the population over 60 with AIDS in Ceará shows similar trends to other age groups and the phenomena observed throughout the country, that is: growth in cases among heterosexuals and women, and ageing and impoverishment.
