Academic literature on the topic 'NCP SIGNIFIES'

The TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) aboard the Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite has been used to detect the atmospheric environment since 2017, and it is of great significance to investigate the accuracy of its products. In this work, we present comparisons between TROPOMI tropospheric NO2 and total SO2 products against ground-based MAX-DOAS at a single site (Xianghe) and OMI products over a seriously polluted region (North China Plain, NCP) in China. The results show that both NO2 and SO2 data from three datasets exhibit a similar tendency and seasonality. In addition, TROPOMI tropospheric NO2 columns are generally underestimated compared with collocated MAX-DOAS and OMI data by about 30–60%. In contrast to NO2, the monthly average SO2 retrieved from TROPOMI is larger than MAX-DOAS and OMI, with a mean bias of 2.41 (153.8%) and 2.17 × 1016 molec cm−2 (120.7%), respectively. All the results demonstrated that the TROPOMI NO2 as well as the SO2 algorithms need to be further improved. Thus, to ensure reliable analysis in NCP area, a correction method has been proposed and applied to TROPOMI Level 3 data. The revised datasets agree reasonably well with OMI observations (R > 0.95 for NO2, and R > 0.85 for SO2) over the NCP region and have smaller mean biases with MAX-DOAS. In the application during COVID-19 pandemic, it showed that the NO2 column in January-April 2020 decreased by almost 25–45% compared to the same period in 2019 due to the lockdown for COVID-19, and there was an apparent rebound of nearly 15–50% during 2021. In contrast, a marginal change of the corresponding SO2 is revealed in the NCP region. It signifies that short-term control measures are expected to have more effects on NO2 reduction than SO2; conversely, we need to recognize that although the COVID-19 lockdown measures improved air quality in the short term, the pollution status will rebound to its previous level once industrial and human activities return to normal.

5587 Background: There is increasing evidence that NCF abnormalities may occur in cancer pts. Data on pre-treatment NCF in HNC pts are lacking. This study reports NCF in pts with newly diagnosed, curable HNC compared to controls. Methods: HNC pts underwent a 2-hour battery of NCF tests prior to radio +/-chemo(bio)therapy. Domains tested were intelligence (IQ), memory, language, attention, processing speed, executive function and manual dexterity. Test performances were transformed into Z-scores using normative data (score < -1 signified deficit). Pts also had self-reported assessments for NCF, quality of life (QOL), fatigue and affect. Data obtained were compared to non-cancer controls who underwent the same tests. Results: Eighty HNC and 30 control subjects were assessed. Objective NCF testing demonstrated that HNC and control cohorts were similar across all domains, except for IQ, with pts having higher scores (mean 0.55 vs 0.12, p=0.03). However, individual analysis showed that 39% of HNC and 43% of control subjects had abnormal Z-scores in ≥ 2 domains. Multivariable analysis of factors associated with ≥ 2 abnormal NCF domains included: low education level, significant smoking history (≥ 10 pack year), previous mild brain injury, gender, and group (pt vs control). Amongst pts, HPV -ve status and non-oropharyngeal tumors were also associated with decreased NCF. Pts reported statistically worse subjective baseline symptoms compared to controls: NCF (mean FACT-COG 33.7 vs 18.2, p=0.002), QOL (FACT H&N 33.8 vs 14.9), fatigue (FACT-F 35.1 vs 15.1), anxiety (HADS 7.0 vs 3.1) and depression (HADS 3.9 vs 1.2), p<0.01 for all five parameters. Conclusions: Objectively assessed NCF was similar between HNC pts and controls, but a proportion of participants in both cohorts have multi-domain abnormal Z-scores. Several patient demographics and disease characteristics were associated with abnormal NCFs. Subjectively, pts reported worse NCF, QOL, fatigue and affect. These data suggest that participant and disease characteristics may play a larger role in determining NCF than previously shown. Whether such characteristics impact subsequent NCF is under investigation in a longitudinal study.

Background and context: NCDs represent the major health burden in UAE, accounting for 65% of all deaths in UAE. At national level, UAE national agenda 2021 signified the high level commitments toward NCD prevention and control. The national agenda includes a set of national targets that aims on reducing NCD mortality and burden. Those targets are aligned well with WHO global targets for 2025 and the 2030 for sustainable development goals and targets. Aim: To draw on the experiences of UAE that had made good progress in integrating NCDs into national development agenda and developing national accountability mechanism to facilitate engagement of nonhealth sectors. Strategy/Tactics: The national multisectoral action plan for NCD prevention and control for (2017- 2021) provides a clear road map for NCD action. Program/Policy process: there have been various policy interventions and programs to support this agenda, including the inclusion of NCDs with measurable targets and indicators under the third of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. Outcomes: Taking into account the vital role of nonhealth sectors, key performance indicators were assigned for each sectors and a regular in-house reporting system has been institutionalized to allow effective progress, which was monitored by a committee lead by Prime Minister office. A number of fast track initiatives has been undertaken to reduce the NCD burden, such as screening and health promotion programs conducted by the primary healthcare, taxation on sugary drinks and tobacco, national periodic health and cancer screening initiatives, smoking cessation, and breast cancer screening campaigns. What was learned: Ensure full engagement of national stakeholders, during development and implementation of NCD action plan is critical. The role and responsibilities of each sector has to be agreed upon. Developing national targets and indicators with accountability scheme is essential to monitor progress.

Like nineteenth-century handwriting, Romantic melody consisted of a single unbroken, shaped curviline and was invested with the ability to evoke the ideal, maternal feminine, to evoke deeper images and specific meanings, and to function simultaneously as language and as signifier of infinite meaning. It can be fruitfully compared with stenography, a handwriting-based information technology flourishing in the middle nineteenth century. This article documents the perceived handwriting-like nature of music and the perceived musicality of stenography through writings of E. T. A. Hoffmann, Robert Schumann, Wagner, and the stenographer F. X. Gabelsberger. The perceptual phenomenon of auditory streaming, along with analytical approaches developed by Robert O. Gjerdingen and Eugene Narmour, makes it possible to demonstrate structural similarities between stenography and melody (in examples by Berlioz, Mendelssohn, and Wagner) and to show commonalities between the notion of the "music of the future" and the futuristic aspirations of stenography. In turn, it becomes possible to perform the shapes of handwriting in Romantic melody and hear voices and fantastic visions in those shapes.

Jason David Hall, ““Popular Prosody: Spectacle and the Politics of Victorian Versification”” (pp. 222––249) In July of 1845 a Somerset man named John Clark exhibited an invention called the Eureka, ““a machine for making Latin verses,”” at the Egyptian Hall in London. This midcentury spectacle was, I argue, much more than a showplace diversion; rather, it was at once the uncanny technological embodiment and a parodic indictment of the Victorian science of prosody, and it functioned, moreover, as an interactive discursive site where debates about the function of prosody as part of a pedagogical model in the universities and, more specifically, the public schools became immediately visible and accessible to a popular and reform-minded audience. As the Latin hexameters that it was capable of ““grinding out”” were transcribed, explicated, and judged in the improving pages of popular print media, the Eureka figured briefly as the material signifier of an education-reform agenda that was, by and large, hostile to the centrality of prosody in Victorian pedagogy.

Abstract This article views Chopin's Mazurka in C# Minor, op. 30, no. 4, as akin to a dream that is open to analysis from a Lacanian perspective. After a discussion of Jacques Lacan's famous orders of subjectivity (the imaginary, the symbolic order, and the Real), the article turns to his idea that a symptom is a message from the Real that demands interpretation. As such, strange moments in Chopin's Mazurka are like symptoms that require multiple interpretations in order to approach their hidden and overlapping meanings. The article proceeds to view Chopin's Mazurka through nineteenth-century notions of Orientalism (alterity), nationalism (nostalgia), coming to life (the automaton), tuberculosis (the boundary of life and death), and the uncanny (fragmentation of the body/mind). But just as Lacan argued that we can never reach a final meaning for a symptom, the article concludes that there can be no transcendental signified for the various symptomatic moments in Chopin's Mazurka. In the end, the Mazurka becomes what Lacan calls a sinthome, a form of subjectivity that is made up of the very symptoms that the subject strives to understand.

Abstract: To a great extent, the Überseering ruling of the ECJ has been regarded as a landmark decision that signified the introduction of the incorporation theory in the private international law systems of the Member States and the Community. On this basis, some scholars have argued that the future of domestic corporate laws within the EC will be dependent on their competitive features. The current contribution sheds light on some background-particularities of German substantive law that eventually amounted to an infringement against the fundamental freedom of establishment. In order to prove the circumstantial pronouncement of ECJ’s ruling, a parallel to Greek law is drawn. At the end, the issue of regulatory competition is approached in its real dimensions.

The popularity of the cake walk among Parisians in the early 1900s is usually attributed to the dance's assumed racial signification. Scholars have argued that the cake walk, owing to its African American origins, was welcomed by Parisians as iconic of a racial "other," a signifier of the primitive, uncultured, and grotesque. This article proposes an alternative reading, setting the standard scholarly line against other, more subtle impressions of the cake walk's cultural import. A consideration of popular response to the dance--on stage, on film, and in the circus arena--reveals Parisian tastes not only for distinct styles of gesture but for American chic, athleticism, and popular participation, as well as the world of the "other." These connotations invite us to consider afresh what is perhaps the most celebrated cake walk of the period, Debussy's "Golliwogg's cake walk" (1908), known particularly for its quotation of Wagner's Tristan. Debussy's piece, I argue, has a more complex significance than that of a mere canvas on which to poke fun at Wagner or a straightforward reference to a minstrel doll. By means of various cultural and aesthetic nuances, it suggests a persona shaped by buffoonery, slapstick, despondency, and irony: in short, a persona identified with that fetish of modernist art, the clown.

This article takes as its starting point the little-noted attempt of the composer Luigi Cherubini to become the new Esterházy Kapellmeister following Joseph Haydn's death. I use the episode as a prompt for a broad reconsideration of Haydn's reputation in the 1790s–1800s, and of what it meant to follow in such footsteps. Rather than just a matter of capitalizing on the celebrity of a widely respected composer, I discuss Haydn's image and legacy as entailing a god-like aura of immortality, which he shared with personalities such as Washington, Nelson, or Peter the Great of Russia, all hailed for abilities that transcended known standards and inspired multitudes. This turn-of-the-century cult of greatness centered, in Haydn's case, on what seemed an unlimited number of symphonies and unlimited variety of orchestral effects in his oratorios The Creation and The Seasons. Haydn's ceaseless creative vein was a spectacle in itself. It evoked the same sublime, overpowering feeling that Kant described in facing things too vast to be grasped, such as the number of stars in the universe or God's eternity. Remaining in awe of a sublime subject like Haydn brought masses of people together in the aesthetic experience of someone immeasurable, thus immeasurably above them. Sounds that signified to this kind of collective deferential behavior had, I argue, a key role in canon formation across genres (symphonies, masses, operatic overtures, occasional pieces etc.), one often overlooked in scholarship prioritizing genre-inspired purviews. Cherubini, Beethoven, and many others were keen to receive “from Haydn's hands” the gift of invoking a mass audience, even well beyond their death, prompting the communal, attentive and on-repeat listening that reveres great composers, generation after generation.

PAHs are mutagenic and carcinogenic agents that influence the coastal water of Tarakan City. This study aims to determine the concentration, type, and distribution of PAHs in waters and sediments of rivers, seawater, and brackish ponds, and their potential sources. Fourteen samples of water and sediment from selected stations obtained 14 types of PAHs priority (USEPA). Analysis using GC-MS Type Thermo Trace 1310 single quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, using Coulum melting silica column (coulumn fused silica) DB5 MS with a length of 30 m, a diameter of 0.32 mm inline. The concentration in sediments at river locations ranges from 0.72-352.84, between 1.23-606.74 in the sea, and brackish ponds 0.08-2858.88 ng.g-1. On the waters ranged from 42.46-160.25 µg.L-1, in the sea 7.95-167.55 µg.L-1 and ponds 7.63-151.60 µg.L-1. The concentration level in rivers and seas is small and in the ponds is small-very high. The concentration on water at the river site was observed to increase from upstream to downstream. Meanwhile in sediment was higher in the upstream decreased towards the middle of river and increased in downstream/estuary area. The concentration in the Tarakan coastal environment signifies the potential hazards to the environment. Components Nap, Fla, Pyr, Chr, and BaP are types that are often identified. Furthermore, two, four and five rings of PAHs were shown to dominate in water and sediment, with the major rings present in both river and brackish pond. The PAHs were both petrogenic and pyrolytic sources from land base sources that were possibly derived from the Pamusian river.

Automated neurocognitive performance assessment (NCP) of a subject is a pertinent theme in neurological and medical studies. NCP signifies the human mental/cognitive ability to perform any allocated job. It is hard to establish any certain methodology for research since the NCP switches the subject in an unknown manner. Sleep is a neurocognitive performance that varies in time and can be used to learn new NCP techniques. A detailed electroencephalographic signals (EEG) study and understanding of human sleep are important for a proper NCP assessment. However, sleep deprivation can cause prominent cognitive risks while carrying out activities like driving, and can even lead to lack of concentration in individuals. Controlling a generic unit in non-rapid eye movement (NREM), which is the first phase of sleep or stage N1is highly important in NCP study. Our method is built on RNN-LSTM which classifies different sleep stages using raw EEG single-channel which is obtained from the openly available sleep-EDF dataset. The single raw channel helps classify the REM stage particularly, because a single raw channel, human motion, and movement are not considered. The features selected constituted as the RNNs network inputs. The goal of this work is to efficiently classify the performance in sleep stage N1, as well as improvement in the subsequent stages of sleep.

What is it? Open badges are a 21st-century solution to the shortcomings of paper certificates in the age of digital, online identity management. These small visual signifiers which carry hard-coded meta-data can be issued by anyone in order to recognise achievement or participation in formal or informal activities. They link back directly to the issuer, the criteria for award, and the evidence. The learner can collect and display their open badges online to reveal their journey and discover new opportunities. Open badges emerged from the Badges for Lifelong Learning Competition in 2011 funded by the MacArthur Foundation and administered by HASTAC in collaboration with the Mozilla Foundation (MacArthur Foundation, 2012). The aim was to provide a “powerful new tool for identifying and validating the rich array of people's skills, knowledge, accomplishments, and competencies […to] inspire new pathways to learning and connect learners to opportunities, resources, and one another” (HASTAC, 2020, n.p.). The open badge infrastructure is based on an open source set of standards which have enabled the ‘baking’ of meta-data within a digital image through the use of an open badge platform. Open badge platforms are free to access, at least initially, offering educators the opportunity to create visual, shareable micro-credentials which recognise a learner’s journey.

Este artigo descreve a prevalência da síndrome metabólica (SM) em idosos. Participaram 46 idosos, com idades a partir de 60 anos, de ambos os sexos. Dos 46 participantes, 85% (39/46) foram do sexo feminino e 15% (7/46) do sexo masculino. A idade média observada foi de 72,13 ±7,4 anos. Os critérios de inclusão para seleção do estudo foram idosos que frequentaram um centro de convivência com idade de 60 anos ou mais, portadores de doenças metabólica e/ou cardiovascular e, que aceitaram participar do estudo mediante assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre Esclarecido. Já os critérios de exclusão eram indivíduos com menos de 60 anos, diagnosticados com câncer ou demência. Objetivo foi avaliar a prevalência da síndrome metabólica em idosos. Base de Dados: avaliações clínicas dos indivíduos que participaram do estudo, com realização de anamnese, exame físico, medidas antropométricas e determinações bioquímicas. O recorte temporal do estudo foi de junho de 2019 a setembro de 2019. Para as referências literárias das variáveis adotou-se os propostos da National Cholesterol Education Program – Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) e da International Diabetes Federation - IFD. Os idosos com 3 ou mais componentes presentes alterados foram caracterizados como portadores da Síndrome Metabólica. Constatou-se a grande importância da detecção precoce dos componentes da SM para uma prevenção efetiva, o que significa, mais atenção à saúde de forma eficaz, na prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares.

The authors in the article analyze the main trends in the development of self-employment during the coronavirus pandemic. The authors pay special attention to a new statistically signifi cant group of workers in the self-employment segment. This group appeared as a result of the introduction of a professional activity tax (NAP) for the self-employed and facilitating the payment of this tax through the “My Tax” system. The offi cial registration of the self-employed in this group made ТЕНДЕНЦИИ РАЗВИТИЯ НОВЫХ СОЦИАЛЬНО-ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНЫХ ГРУПП ВbПЕРИОД ПАНДЕМИИ their comprehensive study possible. Previously, the studies mainly studied potential, not real self-employed. The statistical data of the Federal Tax Service (FTS) allowed the authors to analyze the demographic characteristics of the offi cially registered self-employed, the main types of their activities, the distribution of “new self-employed” by region. This group off ers its services independently through online platforms. In the article, the authors also analyze the degree of eff ectiveness of state support measures for the self-employed during the coronavirus pandemic, what problems this phenomenon brings and how the problems generated by the pandemic are solved. On the example of the Republic of Tyva, the solution of the problems of the self-employed in a particular region of the Russian Federation is considered. Currently, measures to support the self-employed, prescribed in a special tax law and adopted by government agencies during the coronavirus pandemic in order to protect this category of workers from its negative consequences, are mainly economic in nature.

A palavra “literatura” tem origem no termo em latim “littera”. Este termo significa “letra”, constatando o ensino das primeiras letras. Segundo Cademartori (2010), dentre os gêneros deste campo do conhecimento está a literatura infantil, caracterizada pelo seu público-alvo: as crianças. Ou seja, as obras são produzidas de acordo com as especificidades da fase do desenvolvimento infantil. O espaço escolar oportuniza a convivência e interação entre todas as crianças, inclusive aquelas que necessitam do apoio da educação inclusiva para o seu ensino-aprendizagem. Na perspectiva da educação inclusiva, a Lei nº 9.394 (Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional), de 20 de dezembro de 1996, prevê no seu Art. 4°, alínea III, o “atendimento educacional especializado gratuito aos educandos com deficiência, transtornos globais do desenvolvimento e altas habilidades ou superdotação, transversal a todos os níveis, etapas e modalidades, preferencialmente na rede regular de ensino” (BRASIL, 1996). E a deficiência auditiva é uma das deficiências abarcadas por esta lei. Deficiência auditiva e surdez são os termos empregados para designar, respectivamente, a perda parcial ou total da audição. Estas condições têm causas congênitas ou adquiridas. Congênita quando provocada por má-formação durante a gestação, e adquirida devido às lesões no aparelho auditivo ocasionadas após o nascimento (SANTOS; GOES, 2016). As terminologias “deficiente auditivo”, “pessoa com deficiência auditiva” e “surdo(a)” podem ser utilizadas para se referenciar a estas pessoas, sendo que os termos “deficiente auditivo” e “pessoa com deficiência auditiva” são mais comumente adotados na linguagem científica e na literatura acadêmica. O termo “surdo(a)”, além de ser empregado nessas áreas, é usado preferencialmente no campo social, pois as palavras ligadas à deficiência podem trazer sentidos de incapacidade acarretando preconceito e discriminação (SANTOS e GOES, 2016). A aquisição da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) é imprescindível nos casos de pessoas com perda auditiva severa ou surdez para possibilitar a comunicação. A Libras é considerada a língua materna dos surdos no Brasil e a Língua Portuguesa a sua segunda língua (SANTOS e GOES, 2016). A Lei n° 10.436, de 24 de abril de 2002, em seu Art. 1°, reconheceu a Língua Brasileira de Sinais como um “meio legal de comunicação e expressão” (BRASIL, 2002). As estratégias de leitura e escrita para os alunos surdos passaram por diferentes usos de modalidades educacionais como o oralismo, a comunicação total e o bilinguismo. Inicialmente, com a adoção do oralismo, a criança surda era vista como um ser que precisava ser curado de uma deficiência. Este método consistia em ensinar o surdo a emitir sons numa tentativa de comunicação com o outro (RODRIGUES, 2021). Posteriormente, a comunicação total tomou ênfase como modelo de comunicação entre os surdos. A ideia principal era utilizar qualquer recurso que facilitasse o processo comunicativo, como leitura labial e corporal, uso de sinais, uso de aparelhos auditivos, entre outros. Mas foi somente com o avanço do bilinguismo como método de ensino, que os alunos surdos puderam ter uma aprendizagem significativa. O bilinguismo prioriza o ensino da Libras como primeira língua e a Língua Portuguesa como segunda língua, preferencialmente na modalidade escrita. Além dessas três modalidades educacionais, evidencia-se o surgimento de uma nova proposta que valorizaria a cultura e história dos alunos surdos sem constrangê-los a aderir à cultura majoritariamente ouvinte, chamada de pedagogia surda (BARBOSA e LARA, 2021). Depois de muitos percalços na história, passando do oralismo para a comunicação total, atualmente, prioriza-se a educação bilíngue no ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos surdos. (RODRIGUES, 2021). Nesta modalidade, a Libras aparece como primeira língua (L1), ou seja, a língua natural, e a Língua Portuguesa como segunda língua (L2), preferencialmente na sua forma escrita (SANTOS e GOES, 2016), inclusive nas atividades relacionadas à literatura. A educação bilíngue é especificada através da Lei nº 14.191, de 3 de agosto de 2021: Art. 60-A. Entende-se por educação bilíngue de surdos, para os efeitos desta Lei, a modalidade de educação escolar oferecida em Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), como primeira língua, e em português escrito, como segunda língua, em escolas bilíngues de surdos, classes bilíngues de surdos, escolas comuns ou em polos de educação bilíngue de surdos, para educandos surdos, surdo-cegos, com deficiência auditiva sinalizantes, surdos com altas habilidades ou superdotação ou com outras deficiências associadas, optantes pela modalidade de educação bilíngue de surdos (BRASIL, 2021). O Decreto n° 5.626, de 22 de dezembro de 2005, aponta, no seu Art. 14, a obrigatoriedade do ensino às pessoas surdas em todos os níveis da educação: “As instituições federais de ensino devem garantir, obrigatoriamente, às pessoas surdas acesso à [...] educação [...] em todos os níveis, etapas e modalidades de educação, desde a educação infantil até à superior” (BRASIL, 2005). Desde a Educação Infantil, os alunos vão progressivamente sendo inseridos no mundo das palavras faladas e escritas (STEUCK e PIANEZZER, 2013). A literatura infantil é uma das formas de desenvolver a linguagem e os educandos surdos precisam fazer uso de recursos específicos à sua condição. A Educação Infantil compreende o ensino das crianças de 0 até 6 anos de idade, na creche e pré-escola. A organização dos espaços físicos e ambientes facilitadores na Educação Infantil é feita de forma diferente para as crianças de 0 a 1 anos e 1 a 6 anos. O cantinho da leitura é uma das ferramentas que podem estar presentes nas salas de atividades. Neste espaço, são dispostos livros, jornais, panfletos etc. destinados a esta faixa etária para envolver as crianças no mundo das histórias e despertar o interesse dos pequenos pela leitura, e consequentemente pela literatura, mesmo que as crianças da creche e pré-escola ainda não saibam ler o código escrito (STEUCK e PIANEZZER, 2013). Para Cademartori (2010), a literatura infantil é inseparável da questão da educação escolar e exerce um papel no desenvolvimento linguístico e intelectual desde o início da escolaridade. A literatura é um gênero que se insere em dois sistemas: o sistema literário e o sistema escolar, sendo o sistema escolar, o lugar privilegiado para suas manifestações. Ainda segundo a autora, nas obras destinadas ao público infantil interagem as linguagens visual e verbal em livros apenas com imagens, livros com imagens e palavras ou livros apenas com palavras: “Livros para leitores menores podem ser compostos apenas de imagens, descritivas ou narrativas, com ausência de palavras ou com apenas algumas delas” (CADEMARTORI, 2010, n.p.). A contação de histórias é uma parte fundamental da literatura infantil e esta tarefa é atribuída ao professor, pois as crianças ainda não sabem ler, mas adoram ouvir histórias que instiguem sua imaginação. Cabe ao professor, em primeiro lugar, selecionar obras que despertem o interesse das crianças e, em segundo lugar, se preparar para a leitura treinando aspectos como voz e expressões faciais/corporais (STEUCK e PIANEZZER, 2013). Para Santos e Goes (2016, p. 16), “[...] desde a educação infantil as crianças têm contato com a leitura e a escrita por meio das histórias infantis, que deve ter apoio em recursos visuais, dramatizações e outras ações para além da língua oral (no caso dos ouvintes)”. Já em relação às crianças surdas, as autoras complementam “e a língua de sinais (no caso das crianças surdas), pois o fundamental é estimular nas crianças, surdas e ouvintes, o interesse pela leitura”. Diante do exposto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar as obras de literatura infantil para alunos surdos citadas em trabalhos acadêmicos. Para isto, utilizou-se como metodologia de pesquisa uma revisão bibliográfica desta temática. De acordo com Gil (2002, p. 44), a pesquisa bibliográfica “[...] é desenvolvida com base em material já elaborado, constituído principalmente de livros e artigos científicos”.
