REMIC: localização do portal informativo sobre sistema de frequência modulada e demais microfones remotos

Abstract

REMIC: Localization of an informative website about frequency modulation systems and other remote microphones The Frequency Modulation System (FM System) is a hearing technology device designed for hearing-impaired children who use hearing aids or cochlear implants or bone anchored prostheses. Through a microphone/transmitter that transforms sound signal into eletromagnetic waves and a receiver that transforms this wireless transmission back to sound signal, the FM system aims to overcome classroom conditions that interfere with speech comprehension (noisy or reverberating environments, distance between individual and sound source). After the FM system was included in Brazil's Health System (SUS), Alves (2016) developed a website using tele-education to instruct professionals about the FM System. The Brazilian version of the website was designed and validated in 2016. To disseminate this Brazilian study globally, Guedes (2017) started to localize the website by translating it to American English, creating the FM System Portal. To complete the FM System Portal localization, this project aims to: (1) to translate, cross-culturally adapt and validate a new material, the "Quick orientation guide for teachers of students who use: cochlear implants, hearing aids and FM System", in order to add it to Unit 4 (Guidelines for Parents and Teachers); (2) subtitle the videos that are in Brazilian Portuguese and replace external links with similar content; and (3) review the translated content, considering technological evolution and the existence of other remote microphones. Using the guidelines of Beaton et al. (2000), the "Guide" had its 48 items validated linguistically by an expert committee review, who ascertained its translation met the four areas of equivalence: semantic, idiomatic, experiential and conceptual. Using the program Subtitle Workshop 6.0b, the videos were subtitled according to subtitling standards. From the site content review, three major changes were made to the FM System Portal. First, the name of the website changed to REMIC, title composed by the initial syllables of remote microphone, which encompasses new contents to be updated on the site, such as information on the Digital Modulation System. Second, the website changed to a new server, allowing greater responsiveness to different electronic devices. Third, the design was modified to make the PDFs available on the site easier to read and print. Although the layout of the pages and the distribution of some information were altered, the original visual identity remained. The changes that led to the reformulation of some aspects of the website were due to the technological updates in Hearing Health. The Brazilian version of the FM System Portal was developed because the device was included in SUS, the alterations on the website facilitate the insertion of information on more current technologies, such as the Digital Modulation System, which has already been shown to be more effective in speech recognition than the FM System. In order to complete REMI...

“…De acordo com Salimon (2018), isso pode ser explicado devido a divulgação e a disseminação do conhecimento técnico-científico produzido na área da Saúde, nas diferentes partes do mundo, ser feita por meio de artigos em periódicos que, por sua vez, são hegemonicamente escritos e publicados em língua inglesa.…”
