Os jovens e o jornal nacional: fragmentos das relações entre cultura e educação na recepção do noticiário

Este estudo aborda as matérias edificantes do Jornal Nacional e a maneira como elas são compreendidas pelos grupos de jovens selecionados para esta pesquisa. O objetivo é avaliar se há diferença na percepção das informações dessas matérias por jovens de diferentes estratos sociais e culturais, pretende-se também, verificar se esses jovens percebem nas matérias edificantes algum tipo de ação cidadã. Este estudo se torna relevante visto que as transformações no processo de informação nos meios de comunicação de massa têm proporcionado grande velocidade na transmissão das mensagens. Sendo assim, alguns autores acreditam que o surgimento das novas tecnologias faz com que as pessoas sejam influenciadas por várias mídias, simultaneamente. Nesse sentido, o público jovem é um segmento importante dentro do universo dos receptores. É na juventude que o indivíduo tem sua formação aprimorada pelos meios que cumprem esse papel formador, como a escola, os pais e os meios de comunicação, cada um interagindo de acordo com a sua especificidade. Utilizando a discussão em grupo com alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública e uma particular, foi possível ter a visão de como a amostra selecionada assimila a temática.(AU)

Les vagues scélérates

The present article introduces and defines what are the rogue or freak waves. After an historical reminder on the recent consideration of their existence, several events of waves having struck big or small ships or still the coastline are presented. A paragraph is dedicated to the scientific explanation of the phenomenon and the difference with other phenomenons such tsunamis or tidal bores is clarified. After a reminder of the international mobilization towards a forecast system, a conclusion focuses on events met in New Caledonian waters and analyzes more exactly testimonies related to this type of phenomenon by trying to clarify their causes.

Géodiversité sous-marine de Nouvelle-Calédonie. 1ère partie

The object of this article is to offer a synthesis of the knowledge clarifying the originality and the diversity of the submarine geological formations of the New Caledonian EEZ. A reminder is given onto the geologic history of the region, based upon the dislocation of the Gondwana Continent, the opening of the Tasman Sea, the presence of submarine volcanism, the setting up of heavy peridotitic rocks, the building up of the Fairway and Lord Howe Ridges and of sedimentary basins, the formation of volcanic domes and sea-mounts or guyots, the subduction along the Vanuatu Trench, the uplift of the Loyalty Islands, the development of carbonated ptatforms around the islands etc.... Of this complex history ensues an exceptional submarine geo-diversity. After this presentation the article clarifies the methods and the tools used in marine geosciences to map, explore, observe, analyze, sample, that they are embarked or are autonomous, teleoperated or inhabited systems. A chapter describes the programs which were set up since about forty years and the results obtained as well as the scientific teams concerned with. In conclusion, based on the unpublished character of this geo-diversity, the article introduces the second text to come in a next issue of theTai Kona magazine, text which will focus on the scientific, economic (mineral resources), environmental (deep biodiversity) and risks (seismicity) challenges that are worn by one of the most original submarine geologic context in the world.

La cultura del trabajo y la igualdad en la Nueva Granada

Basada en los conceptos de Alexis de Tocqueville, esta investigación busca explicar de qué manera la cultura del trabajo influyó en la igualdad de condiciones. Para esto fue necesario analizar cómo la sociedad neogranadina acogía nuevas teorías y prácticas del mundo moderno liberal en su estructura socio-económica y política, haciendo indispensable, en primer lugar, realizar un estudio detallado de la situación de la Nueva Granada en los aspectos mencionados, durante finales del siglo XVIII y gran parte del siglo XIX. En principio se puede deducir que la cultura del trabajo no tuvo influencia en la igualdad de condiciones, porque la concepción protestante de la salvación del alma no halló en los neogranadinos la aceptación que requería para hacer de este un pueblo trabajador y tampoco se pudo garantizar una situación de igualdad de condiciones desde un aspecto cultural, sino que estuvo presente por medio de leyes que no eran respetadas.
