O objetivo central é entender a dinâmica de agentes do agronegócio na busca por informação que subsidie suas atividades econômicas. Leva-se em conta a hipótese de que o uso eficientemente combinado dos meios pode melhorar o nível de informação do público e contribuir para o seu desenvolvimento. O foco se mantém na inter-relação entre os meios tradicionais e os on-line (novos). O primeiro passo foi pesquisar o histórico econômico e político da agropecuária nacional em busca das raízes do atual desenho do agronegócio e dos meios de comunicação que lhe atendem. Na seqüência, procedeu-se a três frentes de levantamento primário de informações. A primeira foi o exame, num período quatro meses, da oferta de conteúdos agropecuários de quatro grandes jornais impressos – Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de São Paulo, Gazeta Mercantil e Valor Econômico –, reconhecidamente parâmetros de informação agropecuária no País. Posteriormente, foram entrevistados os quatro editores dos respectivos cadernos de agronegócio para saber, entre outros, quais funções esses profissionais pressupunham para suas páginas. A terceira frente se voltou para o público (demanda). Agentes do agronegócio foram entrevistados por meio de dois questionários eletrônicos; do primeiro, participaram 179 e do segundo, 94 profissionais. Note que 100% da amostra usa correio eletrônico. Entre outros resultados, soube-se que a internet, para este público, é o meio mais utilizado e preferido para a obtenção de informações agropecuárias, sendo também o que mais ganhou importância no período de 2000 a 2004. Tais entrevistados mostraram grande desinteresse pelo rádio. / The main purpose of this study is to understand the dynamics of the process of searching agribusiness information by people involved in this sector, who are interested in information that could support their economic activities. It is taken the hypothesis that the efficiently combined use of the means of communication can improve the level of information among readers and also contribute to their progress. The study focuses on the inter-relationship between the traditional means of communication and the new ones (on line ones). The first step was to look for political and economic background of the Brazilian agrarian activity, seeking for the origin of the current agribusiness model and of the means of communication used in this sector. Following, it was proceeded tree fronts of research to collect primary information. The first one was to analyze, during four months, the supply of agribusiness contents in the four major Brazilian press newspapers – Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo, Gazeta Mercantil e Valor Econômico -, means of communication recognized as reference in agribusiness information in Brazil. Next, the four publishers of the respective agribusiness sections of those newspapers were interviewed in order to understand, among other things, what functions those professionals expected for their pages. The third step was centered on the readers (demand). People involved in the agribusiness were heard by means of two electronic questionnaires. In the first one, 179 professionals participated and, in the second one, 94. It is important to consider that a hundred percent of the samples use e-mails. Among other results, it was observed that the Internet is the preferred means for obtaining agribusiness information, which had most importance in the period of 2000 to 2004. The interviewed professionals have shown no interest for the radio.

The result o this process is reflected on the distribution of wealth and of social goods, given to the ones that are on the base of the society, as an anomaly and values inversion. On this scenario the homeless population is inserted, less recognized segment, which particularities and singularities demand answers expressed in formulations of public policies of national scope and articulations. Abandoned by the public realm it demands, in advance, the comprehension that it finds itself on this condition, because the State and the society assumed, historically, and excluding and discriminatory capitalist developing process. This thesis is based on this premise and it objectives itself to demonstrate by newspapers news how the homeless people is presented under various denominations, multiple saturated visibilities of invisibilities manifested on the obscurity of the media means. Focusing this approach, we aim to reveal the essential axel of the analysis of the selected news, the comprehension of the universality of The Human Rights, assumed on the 1988 Constitution, which reinforces the value of human dignity, fundament of the democratic right state (Article 1º, III). Rarely, the media is going to recognize the street situation under its humanized subjectivity, essentially presented in the Constitution, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in National Program of Human Rights III and in the Homeless National Policy. The theoretical methodology base is the result of the analysis of an inventory of collection and daily reading, since 2010, of the newspapers O GLOBO, O DIA and EXTRA, from Rio de Janeiro, electing the news related to the years of 2012, 2013 and the first months of 2014. The findings in the analysis send us to the understanding about the naturalization, triviality criminality of poverty of the homeless. We have also noticed, in the printed news, the inexistence of a punctual discussion under the scope and perspective of human rights, highlighting the invisibility and lack of representation of this population. In the direction of the representation fortification of the homeless people, this paper presents also the experience of the Permanent Forum on Adult Population Living in the Streets, understood here in the Gramscian conception, which presumes na articulated necessity between the civil society and politics society, economy and politics / O processo de desenvolvimento econômico da sociedade brasileira, pautado na extensiva acumulação do capital e na reprodução de desigualdades sociais, produz consequências nefastas para considerável parcela da população, perpetrada na miséria e na consequente privação de garantias de direitos. A resultante desse processo reflete-se na distribuição da riqueza e dos bens sociais, reputada aos que se estabelecem na base da sociedade, como anomalia e inversão de valores. Nesse conjunto insere-se a população em situação de rua, segmento menos reconhecido, cujas particularidades e singularidades exigem respostas expressas em formulações de políticas públicas de alcance e articulação nacional. Abandonada no trato da esfera pública requer, antecipadamente, a compreensão de que se encontra nessa condição, porque Estado e sociedade assumiram, historicamente, um processo de desenvolvimento capitalista excludente e discriminador. Esta tese parte deste pressuposto e objetiva mostrar por meio de noticias de jornais como a população em situação de rua é apresentada sob diversas denominações, múltiplas visibilidades saturadas de invisibilidades manifestas na obscuridade do aparato midiático. Ao priorizar esta abordagem, busca-se revelar como eixo essencial nas análises das notícias selecionadas, a compreensão da universalidade dos Direitos Humanos, acolhida na Constituição de 1988, que consagra o valor da dignidade da pessoa humana, fundamento do estado democrático de direito (Artigo 1º, III). Raramente, o aparato midiático vai reconhecer o morador em situação de rua em sua subjetividade humanizada, essencialidade presente na Carta Constitucional, na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, no Programa Nacional de Direitos Humanos III e na Política Nacional para a População em Situação de Rua. A base teórico-metodológica é resultado da análise de um inventário de coleta e leitura diária, desde 2010, dos jornais O GLOBO, O DIA E EXTRA, do Rio de Janeiro, priorizando-se as notícias referentes aos anos de 2012, 2013 e aos primeiros meses de 2014. Os achados nas análises efetuadas remetem a um entendimento acerca da naturalização, da banalização e da criminalização da pobreza dos moradores em situação de rua. Percebe-se, também, nas notícias veiculadas, a inexistência de uma discussão pontual sob a ótica e a perspectiva dos direitos humanos, destacando-se a invisibilidade e a ausência de representatividade desta população. Na direção do fortalecimento da representatividade da população em situação de rua, este trabalho apresenta ainda a experiência do Fórum Permanente sobre População Adulta em Situação de Rua, manifestação da sociedade civil, entendida aqui na concepção gramsciana, que supõe uma necessária articulação entre sociedade civil e sociedade política, economia e política

The transition of students with moderate to severe handicaps from school to work and adult life has become a principal concern of special education over the last decade. Despite of these attentions, there has been little attention to the need for including plans for the student's communication needs in his or her Transition Plan. Thus, it is important to study the relationship between the inclusion of a student's communication needs in his or her Transition Plan and the effectiveness of communication programs. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the Transition Plan and the effectiveness of communication programs, considering the individual's functioning level, family involvement, and communication mode.

Communication between deaf individuals and hearing individuals can be very difficult. For people who are born deaf, English is often a second language with the first language being American Sign Language (ASL). Very few hearing people in the United States sign or are aware of Deafness, Deaf culture, or how to appropriately communicate with people with hearing loss. In this thesis, I concentrate on the role that mobile technologies can play in ameliorating some of these issues. In formative work with Deaf teenagers in the metro-Atlanta area, I investigate the role that communication technologies play in the lives of many Deaf individuals and examine how these devices have effected their communication patterns and social circles. Specifically, the teens identified problems communicating with hearing individuals such as close friends and family in face-to-face situations. Having identified sign language use at home as one of the earliest interventions for Deaf children, I investigated the use of mobile phones for learning survival-level ASL. I created a prototype software application which presented short ASL lessons via either a mobile phone or desktop web-browser. The software presented the lessons via one of two different scheduling methods designed to take advantage of the spacing effect during learning. I designed and conducted a study of forty individuals with no prior ASL knowledge which compared the effects of both scheduling algorithm and platform. My results show that individuals who used a mobile phone platform and received a group of lessons at one time performed better on post-test receptive and generative ASL metrics than did participants in the three other conditions.

A partir da tradução e da etnonarrativa implicada, compreendi as mediações linguísticas em cinco diferentes cenas de interação comunicativa em sala de aula. Adotei a etnopesquisa como fundamento teórico-metodológico de pesquisa qualitativa em educação, a etnonarrativa implicada com densos componentes autobiográficos e procedimentos da sociolinguística interacional para a interpretação dos diálogos entre os atores sociais do cenário socioeducativo. Em termos da compreensão dos turnos de fala, parti de cinco etno-observações filmadas num programa de estimulação precoce que adotava o uso da língua brasileira de sinais (Libras). Utilizei também um diário de campo para anotar informações relevantes sobre as aulas filmadas e o cotidiano institucional. Vale ressaltar que a heurística da pesquisa se revela dentro da perspectiva de uma etnonarrativa implicada na sua totalidade e em seu movimento. No que concerne ao processo de compreensão das mediações linguísticas entre professoras e alunos surdos, participaram duas professoras surdas, três professoras ouvintes e treze alunos surdos. Os alunos estavam na faixa etária dos cinco aos sete anos de idade. Descrevi as falas dos participantes em turnos que contém a anotação dos elementos constitutivos (sinais da Libras, gestos, movimentos corporais, expressões faciais, etc.) e a respectiva tradução para a língua portuguesa. Intepretei diálogos selecionados em cenas que contêm fenômenos próprios da comunicação entre professoras e alunos surdos. A partir da compreensão das mediações linguísticas entre os participantes, discuti questões próprias da Educação de Surdos, como a formação de professores surdos e de TILS educacionais linguisticamente responsáveis para a atuação neste contexto. Discuti também o problema da exclusão linguística e a luta pela Escola Bilíngue da comunidade surda brasileira, evidenciando a relevância linguística, cultural e identitária, bem como a pertinência socioeducativa destas instituições. / Salvador

The presented diploma thesis deals with the means of communication (sign language, signed language, written language, finger alphabet, etc.) used by teachers in schools for pupils with hearing impairment in Prague and Munich. The work is interested in the topic of related educational approaches, which schools, or teachers use, and what means of communication they prefer. Using observation methods and questionnaires, it wants to find out what or who leads the educators to the chosen communication means and what they think about their own communication competencies. In addition, it compares the current situation of this issue at the elementary schools for the hearing impaired in Prague and Bavarian Munich. The first chapter focuses on which kind of pupils are attending schools for the hearing impaired and what are the possibilities for communication. The second chapter deals with approaches to the education of pupils with hearing impairment. In addition to basic approaches (oral, total, bilingual) describes the approach by American linguist D. A. Stewart, which was developed for the needs of the classroom. Before comparing the results of the research, there are two chapters dealing briefly with descriptions and history (particularly from the point of view of communication) of the researched schools....
