“Crias do abuso na Amazônia”: os (ab)usos discursivos da imprensa paraense na cobertura de casos de violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes

Esta Dissertação de Mestrado problematiza como os jornais paraenses, O Liberal e Diário do Pará, dois dos mais importantes periódicos da Amazônia na atualidade, produzem discursos sobre casos de violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes. Tomamos, como suporte de pesquisa, notícias publicadas nas páginas policiais e em diversas editorias, ao longo da trajetória dos dois jornais, além de enunciados jornalísticos produzidos durante a vigência da Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito (CPI) da Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Pará (ALEPA), entre 2008 e 2010. Para tornar possível a análise discursiva sobre essa complexa temática, adotamos como metodologia a Análise do Discurso (AD) de vertente francesa, especialmente os postulados de Michel Foucault sobre discurso, história e poder, a fim de efetuarmos as leituras do corpus selecionado. Para aprofundarmos a nossa análise, fizemos um trabalho arqueológico da história da imprensa paraense para observarmos a atualização de redes de memória e as relações de poder que atravessam os discursos dos jornais sobre a temática, pois na microfísica de poder midiático amazônico ambos travam uma “guerra discursiva” registrada de forma peculiar em suas páginas. Assim, fizemos uma aproximação dos estudos da análise do discurso com os do jornalismo, por meio de teóricos do campo da Comunicação, como Nelson Traquina. Além disso, nossa pesquisa considerou nas análises as peculiaridades da Amazônia, região ao norte do país que sofre diversos apagamentos discursivos midiáticos nacionais ao longo da história e onde também observamos, em meio a sua diversidade, a prática cultural das “crias”, realidade que nossos estudos mostraram como secular e que até hoje retira crianças de cidades do interior para morar e estudar na capital. Essa e outras dinâmicas que envolvem o abuso e exploração sexual de crianças e adolescentes nos levaram à percepção de uma série de (ab)usos discursivos sobre o tema na imprensa paraense.

Journal Writing in Mathematics: Exploring the Connections between Math Journals and the Completion of Homework Assignments

In this action research study of sixth grade mathematics, I investigate how the use of written journals facilitates the learning of mathematics for my students. I explore furthermore whether or not these writing journals support students to complete their homework. My analysis reveals that while students do not access their journals daily, when students have the opportunity to write more about one specific problem--such as finding the relationship between the area of two different sized rectangles – they, are nevertheless, more likely to explain their thoughts in-depth and go beyond the traditional basic steps to arrive at a solution. This suggests the value of integrating journal writing in a math curriculum as it can facilitate classroom discussion from the students’ written work.

Farm Bureau Legislative Conference

Thank you for asking me to be here with you today. It's always a pleasure. I'm really pleased to talk about my requested topic, which deals with my vision for IANR. Believe me, my vision for the future of Nebraska agriculture and my vision for the future of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources are intertwined, and very bright! That doesn't make me an oracle, of course, but it does make me enthusiastic about my topic!

An Ardent Flame: Witness to Distant Suffering, Human Rights and Unworthy Victims in the Coverage by The New York Times and Two Journals of the Religious Left of the 1980s Civil Wars in El Salvador and Nicaragua

Scholars have investigated witness to distant suffering (WTDS) almost entirely in visual media. This study examines it in print. This form of reporting will be examined in two publications of the religious left as contrasted with the New York Times. The thesis is that, more than any technology, WTDS consists of the journalist’s moral commitment and narrative skills and the audience’s analytical resources and trust. In the religious journals, liberation theology provides the moral commitment, the writers and editors the narrative skills and trust and the special vision of the newly empowered poor the analytical foundation. In bearing witness to those who have suffered state or guerilla terrorism in El Salvador and Nicaragua during the 1980s, we will investigate a distinction between “worthy” and “unworthy victims.” This last issue has a special ethical and political significance. Media witnessing to the suffering of strangers can help them become known, and so “worthy.” It can help them, and their plight and cause, become better recognized. This is the power of the media.

Alternatives exist: analysis of scientific literature in two Brazilian journals about the pedagogical work of Physical Education

Considering that the process of teacher training in universities takes into account the confrontation of knowledge produced by the scientific methods, the current study intended to identify what are the main contributions of the Brazilian scientific production of Physical Education teaching. Therefore, an exploratory study was done from the articles published on the subject in the two main periodicals of the area. The data analyzes allowed us to verify the relevancy of the knowledge produced and to suggest alternatives to its inclusion in the docent training programs.

Smoking: What Has Been Addressed in Brazilian Journals

The topic of tobacco smoking, in its several aspects, has been receiving increasing attention among researchers over the past few years, which has been reflected in more data and more solid scientific literature on the subject in national journals. This article aims to review the studies that focused on smoking published between January 2010 and June 2012, in Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia (Brazilian Archives of Cardiology), Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, Clinics (Sao Paulo), Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia (Brazilian Journal of Pulmonology), Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (Journal of the Brazilian Medical Association) and Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular (Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery). During the aforementioned period 58 articles were published, 52 of which were original ones, addressing several aspects of smoking, such as effects on health, epidemiology, cessation and experimental studies.
