“…In this study, the sample, namely children exposed to a bilingual environment, obtained better results in phoneme synthesis tasks than did children exposed to a monolingual environment. A similar result was observed in other studies 6,7 , in which the group of bilingual children performed better than the monolingual group in a phoneme synthesis task. However, this finding contrasts that of another study 39 , which found that bilingual children demonstrated inferior performance in the task of phonemic awareness.…”

“…Furthermore, studies 6,7,35,36 that evaluated the performance of bilingual and monolingual children in phonological awareness tasks revealed the superior performance of children in the bilingual group. However, these studies contrast other research in the literature 5,37 that did not confirm their superior language performance compared to monolingual speakers.…”

“…According to one study 6 , with learning to read comes additional knowledge about linguistic structure. In this way, phonological awareness becomes more complex, and consequently, formal instructions explaining the rules of correspondence of speech sounds in alphabetic writing (phoneme/grapheme relations) are necessary to ensure that phonemic awareness develops afterwards 20,24 .…”

Objective: to verify and compare phonological acquisition and performance in phonological awareness tasks among children exposed to a bilingual (Brazilian Portuguese and German) or monolingual family environments (Brazilian Portuguese). Methods: a sample of 32 children of both sexes aged 5 years were divided into the bilingual group (13 children), who lived daily with people who spoke German and Portuguese, and the monolingual group (19 children), who lived daily with people who spoke only the Portuguese language. Phonological acquisition and phonological awareness skills were assessed using protocols standardized for Brazilian Portuguese and statistically analyzed using the Fisher exact test and Mann-Whitney test, considering p<0.05. Results: the results revealed that a greater number of subjects demonstrated atypical phonological acquisition in the bilingual group and scored worse results in the phonological awareness skills evaluation. Phonological processes were similar in both groups. None of the results obtained were statistically significant. Conclusion: deviant phonological acquisition was superior in the bilingual family environment group. Phonological processes were similar for both groups. In the phonological awareness tasks, children in the bilingual family environment group obtained better results only for the phonemic synthesis tasks. For other tasks, children in the monolingual family group achieved better results.

“…O de caso-controle foi desenvolvido com professores do ensino infantil, fundamental e médio: o grupo de casos foi composto por professores que apresentaram alterações nas avaliações vocais e otorrinolaringológicas; e o grupo de controle por professores sem alterações em ambas as avaliações. A prevalência da capacidade para o trabalho inadequada foi duas vezes maior entre o grupo de casos em comparação ao de controle; e apresentou também efeito dose/reposta em relação à exposição aos distúrbios de voz independentemente do estresse, idade e acústica insatisfatória 39 . O estudo do tipo quase-experimental foi desenvolvido com professores universitários em duas fases: na primeira fase foram aplicados questionários como o ICT e outros referentes aos aspectos do trabalho.…”

REVISÃO DE LITERATURARESUMO | Contexto: A capacidade para o trabalho é um conceito que envolve condições físicas, mentais e sociais, além de ser um construto subjetivo que poderá acompanhar trabalhadores em nível individual ou coletivo. Objetivos: Descrever o perfil das produções científicas sobre capacidade para o trabalho entre trabalhadores do Brasil e identificar a prevalência e os fatores associados à capacidade para o trabalho. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática realizada na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde e na Scopus. Os estudos selecionados foram aqueles publicados de 1996 a 2013, tendo como população-alvo os trabalhadores do Brasil e que utilizaram o índice de capacidade para o trabalho (ICT). Resultados: As produções científicas se concentraram nas áreas da Saúde Pública e de Enfermagem, nas regiões Sudeste e Sul do país e com trabalhadores de Enfermagem e do setor de produção. A prevalência da capacidade para o trabalho inadequada (0,0 a 81,2%) variou entre as diferentes categorias profissionais. Os fatores associados à capacidade para o trabalho foram os individuais, relacionados à saúde, e aqueles referentes às condições de trabalho ambiental e organizacional. Conclusões: Com base nos resultados e considerando a capacidade para o trabalho inadequada, um agravo evitável no campo da saúde do trabalhador, são necessárias ações e estratégias nos ambientes de trabalho para prevenção e promoção da saúde dos trabalhadores brasileiros. Também são necessários maiores investimentos em pesquisas longitudinais e de intervenção com diversos grupos de trabalhadores do Brasil. Palavras-chave | saúde do trabalhador; avaliação da capacidade de trabalho; envelhecimento prematuro. ABSTRACT | Context:The ability to work involves physical, mental, and social conditions, as well as being a subjective construct that can be related to workers at the individual or collective level. Objectives: To describe the profile of scientific productions on the ability to work among Brazilian workers and to identify the prevalence and factors associated with the ability to work. Methods: This is a systematic review carried out in the Virtual Health Library and in Scopus. Studies selected were those published from 1996 to 2013, whose target population was Brazilian workers and which used the work ability index (WAI). Results: The scientific productions focused on the fields of Public Health and Nursing, in the Southeast and South regions of the country, and on workers in the Nursing and production fields. The prevalence of inadequate work abilities (0.0 to 81.2%) varied among the different professional categories. Factors associated with the ability to work were individual, health-related, and those related to environmental and organizational working conditions. Conclusions: Based on the results and considering inadequate work ability, which is an avoidable problem in the worker's health field, actions and strategies are necessary for prevention and promotion of health among Brazilian workers. Further investments are also needed i...

In a highly multilingual country like India, challenges and opportunities arise in education and language policy. Although multilingualism is often associated with developmental advantages, Indian primary school children generally show low learning outcomes, specifically on literacy. Here we examine the influence of mother tongue education and multilingualism on the reading skills and reading comprehension of 1272 Indian primary school children from low SES homes. The children performed the ASER literacy task in both the regional, majority language and in English, which was followed by newly developed reading comprehension questions. The results show that minority language speakers from monolingual households—who do not receive mother tongue education—underperform compared to majority language speakers when reading in the majority language. When reading in English, growing up in a multilingual household improves children's performance. Finally, in sites which have a larger proportion of mother tongue‐educated children, children perform better in literacy in the regional language and worse in English. Overall, these results provide insight into the influence of mother tongue education and multilingualism on reading abilities and show that more support is needed for minority language speakers to develop literacy in the majority language, and for all children to develop literacy in English.
