Perfil da fluência: comparação entre falantes do Português Brasileiro e do Português Europeu
The purpose of the study was to compare the speech fluency of Brazilian Portuguese speakers with that of
European Portuguese speakers. The study participants were 76 individuals of any ethnicity or skin color aged
18–29 years. Of the participants, 38 lived in Brazil and 38 in Portugal. Speech samples from all participants
were obtained and analyzed according to the variables of typology and frequency of speech disruptions and
speech rate. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed to assess the association between
the fluency profile and linguistic variant variables. We found that the speech rate of European Portuguese
speakers was higher than the speech rate of Brazilian Portuguese speakers in words per minute (p=0.004).
The qualitative distribution of the typology of common dysfluencies (p<0.001) also discriminated between the
linguistic variants. While a speech fluency profile of European Portuguese speakers is not available, speech
therapists in Portugal can use the same speech fluency assessment as has been used in Brazil to establish
a diagnosis of stuttering, especially in regard to typical and stuttering dysfluencies, with care taken when
evaluating the speech rate.O objetivo do estudo foi comparar a fluência de fala de falantes do Português Brasileiro com a de falantes do
Português Europeu. Participaram deste estudo 76 indivíduos, sem distinção de raça e cor, com idades entre
18 e 29 anos, sendo 38 residentes no Brasil e 38 em Portugal. Foram obtidas amostras de fala de todos os
participantes e analisadas segundo as variáveis de tipologia e frequência das disfluências e velocidade de fala.
Foi realizada análise estatística descritiva e inferencial para verificar a associação entre as variáveis do perfil
da fluência e da variante linguística. Foi observado que a velocidade de fala dos falantes do Português Europeu
em palavras por minuto (p=0,004) é maior que a dos falantes do Português Brasileiro. A distribuição qualitativa
das tipologias das disfluências comuns (p<0,001) também diferencia as variantes linguísticas. Enquanto não
há um perfil de fluência de fala dos falantes do Português Europeu, para se estabelecer um diagnóstico de
gagueira, os fonoaudiólogos podem utilizar em Portugal a mesma avaliação de fluência de fala utilizada no
Brasil, principalmente no que se refere às disfluências comuns e gagas, tendo cuidado apenas no que se refere
à velocidade de falaFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais (CDS – APQ – 02141-11)info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Orbit Determination of Close Binary Systems using Lucky Imaging
We present relative positions of visual binaries observed during 2009 with
the FastCam "lucky-imaging" camera at the 1.5-m Carlos Sanchez Telescope (TCS)
at the Observatorio del Teide. We obtained 424 CCD observations (averaged in
198 mean relative positions) of 157 binaries with angular separations in the
range 0.14-15.40", with a median separation of 0.51". For a given system, each
CCD image represents the sum of the best 10-25% images from 1000-5000
short-exposure frames. Derived internal errors were 7 mas in r and 1.2^{\circ}
(9 mas) in q. When comparing to systems with very well-known orbits, we find
that the rms deviation in r residuals is 23 mas, while the rms deviation in q
residuals is 0.73 deg/r. We confirmed 18 Hipparcos binaries and we report new
companions to BVD 36 A and J 621 B. For binaries with preliminary orbital
parameters, the relative radial velocity was estimated as well. We also present
four new revised orbits computed for LDS 873, BU 627 A-BC, BU 628 and HO 197
AB. This work is the first results on visual binaries using the FastCam
lucky-imaging camera.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figures, 14 tables, accepted August 18th, 2011, to be
