Research on Synergestic Anthelmintic Activity of Methanolic Extract of the Leaves of Cyclea Peltata Lam and Roots of Cocos Nucifera Linn Against Adult Pheretima Posthuma Worms and it’s Statistical Analysis
Authors:   Department of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry, Government Medical College, Kannur, Kerala, India
Published: September 2024

The aim of the research is to develop a safe and effective anthelmintic from plants, due to the increasing toxic effect of synthetic drugs. The reason behind this research is the undesirable side effects of synthetic drugs available in the market like drug resistance. So there is a need for the exploration of more medicinal plants for the treatment of various worm infections. Here the anthelmintic activity of combined methanolic extract of leaves of Cyclea peltata and roots of Cocos nuciferawere studied. The extract were prepared by maceration technique and evaluated the anthelmintic activity against adult Pheretima Posthuma worms via anthelmintic assay. The reason for selecting these two plants for monitoring the anthelmintic activity because of the presence of tannins, which have been proved by previous phytochemical studies. Tannins have the capability to bind free proteins present in the cuticle, oral cavity etc, thus causing starvation of the larvae and thus possibly resultig in their death. Combined Anthelmintic activity of the methanolic extract of the leaves of Cyclea peltata and roots of Cocos nucifera were carried out by one way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test at 95% confidence interval using graph pad prism software version 9.0.0 Statistical analysis also shows that the combined extracts increase the anthelmintic activity by each other, which can be monitored by analyzing the statistical significance and statistical non-significance, thus it proved to be synergistic. About three formulations were prepared from combined plant extract (25,50 and 100mg/5ml) and the time of paralysis and death were calculated, which establish significant synergistic anthelmintic activity against adult Pheretima Posthuma worms. Albendazole 25mg/5ml were used as a standard drug . Thus the plants can be used for the safe and effective management of helminthiasis

It also includes the use of objects for vaginal or anal penetration, fondling, or sexual stimulation. Misuse of a child for pornographic purposes, making achild available to another as a child prostitute and stimulating a child with inappropriate solicitation, exhibitionism, and erotic things are also forms of sexual abuse. Non- contact behaviors, such as indecent exposure, and sexual remarks to children, also constitute sexual abuse. More common sexual assaults come from the near and dear ones. SETTING AND DESIGN: An evaluative approach was applied to evaluate the knowledge, and the skill level of adolescent girls related to self-defense Training.
Tratamento fora do domicílio: a perspectiva do paciente oncológico da região imediata de Viçosa, MG
Authors:   , Carlos Celina Angélica Lisboa Valente
Published: September 2024

O câncer é uma patologia que mata milhares de pessoas, anualmente, em todo o mundo. Seu diagnóstico é muito temido e, quando confirmado, pode provocar uma série de aborrecimentos e desestruturações para o paciente e sua família, tanto na dimensão emocional quanto na profissional e pessoal. Desse modo, esta tese teve como objetivo analisar as implicações do adoecimento oncológico de pacientes da região imediata de Viçosa, MG, com tratamento fora do domicílio, sob a perspectiva do deslocamento para tratamento, dinâmica familiar e redes de apoio. O estudo com abordagem quali-quantitativa, se caracteriza como exploratório descritivo, sendo o estudo de caso o método utilizado. No que se refere à construção dos dados, utilizou- se de entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas com nove representantes do TFD dos municípios da região imediata de Viçosa e com sessenta e três pacientes oncológicos ou com seu principal cuidador. Adicionalmente, ainda em relação ao paciente, utilizou-se também de um questionário adaptado do European Organization for Reserach and Treatment os Cancer Core Quality f Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ- C30), de forma a verificar sua percepção acerca da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde. Os resultados revelaram que o TFD nos municípios está estruturado majoritariamente com profissionais com contrato de trabalho temporário, não possui sistemas de gestão, tampouco padronização dos processos de trabalho. Quanto ao perfil socioeconômico dos pacientes, os dados revelaram que a amostra em sua maioria foi composta por mulheres, tendo em média 50 anos de idade, pardas e negras, casadas, com ensino fundamental e renda mensal de até 1 salário-mínimo. Considerando a necessidade de realização de tratamento fora do município de residência, os deslocamentos tendem a impactar a dinâmica familiar dos pacientes nos aspectos, como: afastamento das atividades pessoais e profissionais, inversão de papéis, dificuldades financeiras, dentre outros. No entanto, evidenciou-se que o envolvimento da rede de apoio auxilia na minimização dos impactos e na aceitação do diagnóstico. Quanto à percepção da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde, identificou-se que essa é influenciada pela renda, pelo estilo de vida e pelo número de viagens realizadas. Assim, conclui-se que a necessidade de tratamento fora do domicílio é uma realidade para os pacientes da região imediata de Viçosa, pois os deslocamentos são exaustivos e exigem adaptação do paciente e de sua família no que diz respeito a ajustes na rotina familiar, e na superação do cansaço e dos efeitos colaterais físicos e emocionais. Por fim, evidenciou-se que o TFD desempenha importante papel ao ofertar transporte e agendamento de tratamento para os pacientes, mas é necessário que seja incorporado enquanto política pública, dado sua importância para a população. Palavras-chave: Câncer; Tratamento fora do domicílio; Viagens; Família; Redes de apoio.
Interactive Distance E-learning for Isolated Communities
Authors: Crump Stephen , Boylan Colin
Published: September 2024

This paper provides information on the background to the two pilot investigations into'interactive distance e-learning' [IDeL] following the introduction in New South Wales and in the Northern Territory of Australia of satellite-supported two-way broad-band internet services for school-age and adult distance education. The context is the expansion and reform of educational services to these communities. The IDeL service is provided to 'School of the Air' students and parents on isolated stations, remote schools, students and adults in isolated Aboriginal communities, and adults on isolated properties or living in small towns seeking vocational education. The shift to satellite delivery of distance education allows teachers and students to communicate using realtime video, shared computer applications, graphics, audio-conferencing, online chat, and email.
Interactive Distance Learning Technology and Connectedness
Authors: Devlin Brian , Feraud Peter , Anderson Alan
Published: September 2024

This three-part paper discusses how the contemporary use of computers in distance education is helping to connect students from our rural communities, whether they are located at pastoral stations, remote community schools or are on the road, travelling with parents or carers. The paper is in a sense organised like a sandwich, with technical detail functioning like pieces of bread at either end of the paper and some comments by parents and teachers providing the filling in the middle. The first section of the paper provides an overview, from the perspective of Optus, of the satellite-based infrastructure that underpins interactive distance learning (IDL) services in the NT and comparable Interactive Distance e-Learning (IDeL) programs, such as the Satellite Education Program (SEP), which are managed through the Dubbo Rural and Technologies Centre in New South Wales. The second section then briefly explains how the infrastructure is being used, drawing on the research we are conducting into this form of e-learning as part of a broader Australian Research Council Linkage (ARCL) project. This research uses a mixed-methods approach that incorporates quantitative analysis of system-level data and qualitative investigations of data obtained from interviews, observations and surveys. While brief reference will be made to such notions as interactivity and interaction in distance learning, our focus will be on an analysis of some practical issues, which will be illustrated with an exemplary video clip of online teaching. The concluding section of our paper summarises some likely infrastructure improvements, while at the same time asking whether teachers and administrators are well positioned to take advantage of the new possibilities. Please note that, in place of the correct but cumbersome acronym IDL/IDeL, we have referred to IDL throughout. The codes in brackets (such as KTI-8) following some quotations cross refer to the transcripts of interviews in our dataset.

Published: September 2024

Retention is a subject which has been increasingly dissected from the statistical point of view, however in this article I want to study the subject with the human angle very much to the fore. In order to do this I want to introduce you to Charlie, who at the time the photograph was taken was a 22 year old F-111 pilot with the RAAF. While a 22 year old in charge of a multi million dollarweapon system capable of 2900 km/hr is extraordinary in itself, what is even more striking is the fact that Charlie was born and bred in Tarraleah, a Hydro Electric Commission Village overlooking the valley of the Nive River in Tasmania's central highlands.

Social Dynamics and Personhood in Alzheimer’s disease Narratives: An Analysis of the Self in Alzheimer’s Autobiographies
Authors: Ms. Jayashree. C
Published: September 2024

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), categorized as a disability by the World Health Organization (WHO), has been the most common form of dementia affecting sixty to seventy percent of patients. While medicine has offered multiple perspectives on AD, literary accounts by caregivers and family members initiated socio-cultural conversations around AD. However, the ableist perspectives did not portray the stories on the experiences of the patients but rather focused on caregiving. This was altered by the publishing of several Alzheimer’s autobiographies that document the disease, showing the reality of AD. Although each AD experience is unique, the common factor has been how memory loss and other accompanying symptoms make them lose their selves through the process. The self, in this context, relates to the identity and personhood carried by the patients. Personhood is defined by Tom Kitwood (1997) as the status bestowed upon a person in the society by the others and how they are treated. Studies on personhood in dementia and AD have pointed out the loss of personhood through memory loss and cognitive decline. However, through readings of autobiographies, one understands that the personhood is not all lost, and whichever part is lost is tried to be reclaimed by the patients in multiple ways. This study aims to read through parts of the autobiographies chosen – namely, On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s by Greg O’Brien, Somebody I Used to Know by Wendy Mitchell, and Losing My Mind by Thomas DeBaggio – and analyze how this personhood is reclaimed by maintaining an active social life. This study looks to contribute to the growing realm of disability studies by choosing Alzheimer’s autobiographies as the primary focus and remove the stereotypical ableist lens on AD.

Published: September 2024

O presente artigo é inspirado na 2ª Conferência intitulada “Povos Originários”, realizada durante o XV Seminário Capixaba do Ensino da Arte, na Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. “Diálogos urgentes” foi o título do seminário, para nomear a necessidade de se debater temas emergentes na contemporaneidade, como as questões relacionadas aos povos originários, e a necessidade de se estabelecer o diálogo com os sujeitos detentores de diferentes conhecimentos. Primeiro, destacamos o processo de transmissão de conhecimento na cultura tradicional, tendo como base um Ponto de Memória numa comunidade quilombola no norte do ES. Segundo comentamos a relevância das mulheres neste processo. Terceiro, examinamos articulações entre ensino-aprendizagem e cultura tradicional, no contexto das artes populares. Considerando os diálogos na Conferência, apontamos que o trabalho colaborativo junto aos mestres da cultura tradicional contribuiria com a inclusão da história e da cultura indígena, africana e afro-brasileira no ensino formal, em todos os níveis. Repercutimos a demanda pela inclusão de jovens indígenas e negros quilombolas nas escolas e universidades como princípio democrático do direito à vida, que passa pela inclusão da diversidade cultural nos debates nestes espaços.

Authors: Mohammed Umar Aminu , Kolo Babagana , Shehu Aishatu Aliyu , Hassan Halima
Published: September 2024

Living organisms especially human beings get exposed to harmful substances such as heavy metals through the plants and animals we consume. Human sources of food like Oryza sativa and Clarias gariepinus get contaminated by the soil as a result of pesticides used by farmers. This study aimed to determine heavy metals levels and pesticide residue in soil, sediment, Oryza sativa, and Clarias gariepinus in three locations namely, Gadau, Jama’are, and Zabi (Giade LGA) in Bauchi State Nigeria. Samples of Soil, sediments, Oryza sativa, and Clarias gariepinus were collected at three different locations namely Gadau, Zabi, and Jamaare, to assess the level of some heavy metals and pesticide residues. The heavy metals present were detected in this order Zn>As>Pd>Cd>Cr>Ni in soil, sediment, Oryza sativa, and Clarias gariepinus respectively. The detected heavy metals were higher than the WHO/FAO recommended maximum tolerance values in three locations in this study. Among the active residues observed Abamectin and Dichlovos were more active compared to others with a 1- >5ppm range. The presence of these harmful substances in the environment is of serious concern to human health. This study recommends strict regulations on the use of pesticides for food crops and fish in the study area.
Review of the Properties, Acceptance, and Use of Eucalyptus as an Alternative Species in Ethiopia's Wood Industries
Authors: Kaba Gemechu
Published: September 2024

The demand for forest-related goods and services has continued to grow in Ethiopia due to the increasing population, urbanization, and the boom of the construction sector. In the past, the demand was covered by indigenous timber species, which now have declined due to unwise exploitations. To narrow down the gap between supply and demand an alternative solution is promoting and utilizing fast-growing species such as Eucalyptus wood. To effectively utilize this species identifying its special characteristics, level of acceptance in wood industries, and utilization practices are very important.  To achieve the goals of this review, a thorough search was carried out across multiple scholarly databases. Then, pertinent research, papers, and articles about the use of Eucalyptus in the wood industries were downloaded and reviewed. The study shows that Eucalyptus is widely cultivated in various regions of Ethiopia and plays a significant role in the socio-economic dimensions of many Ethiopians, providing livelihood opportunities, environmental services, and supporting sustainable development. Although it is being used as an alternative to traditional timber species in many places in the world, it is not being widely used in Ethiopia's wood industry for furniture manufacturing. This is because producers are unaware of the special properties of this species; its felling technique, sawing method, and drying behavior which demands proper attention and care. To ensure the sustainable use of Eucalyptus resources, better tree management techniques, innovative wood processing techniques, market development, and strengthening the capacity of relevant stakeholders are imperative.
A Review of Continuous Assessment Learning Activity (CALA) in Zimbabwe: 2017- 2023
Authors: Masiiwa Spencer Tinashe , Last Matsiwira
Published: September 2024

The major goal of this paper was to do a review of the CALA in Zimbabwe. Informed by the major tenets of progressivism as a theory of education, the government of Zimbabwe through the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE), embarked on a curriculum review exercise in 2015.  The study employed secondary data. A closer and thorough inspection of the key stakeholders’ overview of CALA shows that fell short of expectations due to financial, ethical, and moral challenges associated with it. This paper concludes that regardless of the immense benefits of CALA, its adoption and implementation have been met with mixed feelings between and among stakeholders in the education sector and this has overshadowed the significance and relevance of CALA in the context of Zimbabwe. Further, this study concludes that for the period under review (2017- 2023), the Ordinary Level pass rate after the introduction of CALA has been fluctuating from one year to another which is similar to trends observed before the introduction of CALA. The researchers recommend the capacitation and active involvement and participation of teachers through attractive remuneration and training workshops as a panacea in the implementation of any curriculum review since teachers are the key drivers in such a process.

Published: September 2024

Energy is one of the most important components of human life. In the livestock industry, problems occur when there is a power outage so that the incubator cannot function. Solar energy is one of the renewable energy sources that convert solar radiation into electricity based on the photovoltaic effect and can be a solution to the above problems. In addition, another problem is that the egg incubator used by farmers still uses a manual system, the solution to the problem by utilizing IoT technology for monitoring and control systems for temperature, humidity, and egg rotation. the purpose of the research is to develop a smart incubator system to automate IoT-based temperature, humidity, and egg rotation systems so that they can be monitored more effectively using solar power as a power source. This research uses observational and quantitative methods with data collection techniques carried out through observation. The result of this research is the design of an IoT-based automatic incubator system using 30 WP solar panels as an energy source. In the measurement of the temperature monitoring IoT system in real-time, an error value of 0.93 was obtained with a temperature accuracy value of 99.07 which was declared very good, in the blynk test with a thermometer an error value of 2.92 was obtained with an accuracy value of 97.08 which was declared very good, in the humidity test an error value of 6.9 was obtained with an accuracy value of 93.1 which was declared quite good.
Improved Creep Resistance at 1000°C of a Medium Entropy Alloy by the In Situ Formation of Intergranular MC Carbides
Authors: Gay Corentin , Chenikha Nassima , Spaeter Pauline , Etienne Erwan , Vernière Anne , Aranda Lionel , Berthod Patrice
Published: September 2024

A Cantor’s alloy with modified contents in manganese and chromium, elaborated by classical foundry, was enriched either in tantalum and carbon or in hafnium and carbon, to promote the formation of MC carbides to try improving the poor creep resistance of the original quinary alloy for possible use at 1000°C. Similarly to what was observed in recent investigations, metallography allowed checking that interdendritic/intergranular MC carbides were obtained here too. The two monocarbides–containing alloys were first subjected to differential thermal analysis to specify notably their melting start temperatures, to validate the chosen temperature for the creep tests. Three-point flexural creep tests were then performed at 1000°C, which indisputably demonstrated the outstanding strengthening effect of these MC carbides for the modified Cantor’s alloy.
PONDD: an online platform for printing-on-demand and delivery of daily press, magazines and books
Authors: Konstantinou Nikolaos , Papaioannou Evi , Kaklamanis Christos
Published: September 2024

Motivated by difficulties experienced in the distribution of printed press, mainly daily press, i.e., newspapers, but also sometimes of periodical press, i.e., magazines, or even books, we designed and developed PONDD, an online platform for printing-on-demand and delivery of daily press, magazines and books. PONND can serve as an innovative service which can directly bring together readers and publishers via printing points, like for example kiosks or mini markets. Readers can select their desired newspaper, magazine or book, define their desired features for the print-out (e.g., single/duplex, colored/black&white) and choose an available printing point nearby for serving their requests, i.e., for picking-up or having delivered to them their selected newspaper, magazine or book. PONDD is easy-to-use and responsive offering a comprehensive set of well-defined functionalities. In our current era, information is a critical resource and the internet should be exploited not only as a modern information distribution channel but also as a backbone for supporting the continuation of free, undisturbed and uninterrupted distribution of traditional printed press.
Vaccination Coverage and Its Associated Factors among Children Aged 2 - 5 Years in Eldas Sub County, Wajir County
Authors: Abdi Cathra , Magu Dennis , Kikuvi Gideon
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine determinants of vaccination coverage and its associated factors among children 2-5 years of Age in Eldas Sub-County, Wajir County.
Methodology: This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 367 participants, selected using probability proportion to size and systematic random sampling. Data was collected using pretested semi-structured questionnaires and a key informants' guide. In the study, Pearson's Chi-square test was used to test the association between complete MR coverage and independent categorical variables. The significance level was fixed at 0.05 (p=0.05) with a 95% confidence interval. Qualitative data was analyzed through content analysis. MS Access database was used to store the data, which was then exported for analysis to SPSS version 21.0. The results were presented in tables, graphs and charts.
Findings: The vaccination coverage was 69.8%. The most common reasons for incomplete vaccination coverage were the far location of immunization centers and the unknown place/time of immunization. About 78.5% of the children had experienced illness, while 49.2% of the caregivers had ever taken their child for late immunization. The study found that children whose caregivers did not have personal issues limiting their ability to take their child for immunization were 2.29 times more likely to have complete vaccination coverage (95% CI = 1.41 - 3.75, P < 0.001). Additionally, children whose caregivers had information or education on immunization were 5.53 times more likely to have complete vaccination coverage (95% CI = 3.22 - 9.51, P < 0.001). Other significant predictors of complete vaccination coverage included the importance placed on immunization by the caregiver and the person who facilitated the last delivery. The study concludes that Eldas Sub-County vaccination completeness falls below WHO's recommended target of 85%, with 29.2% partially immunized and 1.1% not immunized. Demographic factors affected completion.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study suggested that equipping healthcare providers, providing health education, planning outreach services with community participation, engaging community leaders to address misinformation and designing targeted messages will improve vaccination behavior.

Bridge Health Monitoring (BHM) systems have become integral in ensuring the safety, reliability, and longevity of bridge infrastructures worldwide. As bridges age and are subjected to increasing traffic loads and environmental stresses, the need for continuous and effective monitoring becomes critical. This paper explores the advancements in BHM technologies, with a focus on the integration of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), machine learning algorithms, and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. The system must interface and integrate the actual practice mainly based on visual inspections and combine the response of a number of different reliable sensors, installed on the structure to monitor the progress of damage, with enhanced realistic deterioration models. The system and the sensors were developed to cover the parameters for the most important deterioration mechanisms: corrosion of reinforcement in bridges, carbonation of concrete, freeze-thaw cycles, alkali-silica reaction and mechanical damage, as well as the changes in the structures behaviour and safety: static deformation, strains; crack widths and vibrations (frequencies, amplitudes, accelerations and vibration modes). This study delves into more sensor types used in monitoring structural integrity, such as accelerometers, strain gauges, and displacement sensors, and discusses the methodologies employed in data acquisition and analysis. Challenges related to the scalability, cost, and accuracy of these systems are analyzed, highlighting areas where further research and technological innovations are required. Through a series of case studies, the paper illustrates the practical applications of BHM systems and their role in predictive maintenance and real-time decision-making. The conclusion offers insights into future directions for research and development in BHM, emphasizing the need for more advanced sensors, improved data processing techniques, and enhanced integration of IoT technologies to meet the growing demands of modern infrastructure.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to explore the integration of historical weather data with machine learning methods for better rainfall forecasting in Bangladesh. It has the potential to identify rainfall early by observing their prediction on preventing natural disasters. Weather forecasting, a process that is paramount to protecting human lives and property as well as general welfare, at times faces challenges due mainly in part to manual computations. These calculations are likely error-ridden because of the vastness and complexity of data needing to be analyzed. This research combines weather forecasting with machine learning techniques to improve the accuracy and precision of predictions. The main goal is to develop an accurate prediction system of rainfall forecasting in Bangladesh for the future. The model training data set is from historical meteorologic records of Bangladesh during the period 1901–2015. After neatly hyper-tuning the Random Forest model, we achieve some impressive RMSE metrics. The results are compared with a baseline model, Randomized Search CV, using different evaluation metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Logarithmic Error (MSLE), and Root-mean-squared-log-error (RMSLE), etc., and the observations of significantly better performance is observable. Machine learning in weather forecasting has become an essential tool that can save lives and billions of dollars in property. An extensive analysis of machine learning techniques was performed in the domain of rainfall prediction. Among all the tried models, the Random Forest model gave perfect predictions, as noted by its Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 12245.52 and absolute error value of 64.25. Furthermore, there was excellent precision (0.95) and recall (0.92), respectively, for the classification of wet days, corresponding to a total accuracy score of 91%. Based on the above result, we can conclude that the Random Forest model is both robust and promising for rainfall prediction problems. Various models such as Linear Regression, Support Vector Regressor (SVR), Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), AdaBoost, XG Boost, Ridge, Linear SVR and MLP Regressor showed variations in prediction accuracies and errors. Nevertheless, the Random Forest came out as a better choice in this case, showing its superiority. The plan is to expand the time period of the dataset along with more advance machine learning models to predict weather forecast in future.

O PRINCÍPIO TU QUOQUE: CONCEITO, CONSISTÊNCIA E ANÁLISE DE USO NA PRÁTICA PROCESSUAL
Authors: Gonçalves Carreira José Gabriel
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo analisa o uso do instituto tu quoque em todas as decisões do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo e do Tribunal Regional Federal da terceira região, no lapso temporal entre 2018 e 2020. Antes de se prostrar ao estudo prático do instituto, há de se entender a origem e a consistência do termo tu quoque. Aquela tem base no grito de dor do imperador romano Júlio Cesar, quando este descobriu que seu filho Brutus era um dos que conspiravam contra sua vida: “até tu, Brutus?”. De outro lado, é imprescindível saber que o tu quoque faz parte da Teoria dos Atos Próprios, intrínseca, por sua vez, à Boa-fé Objetiva. No geral, o tu quoque consiste na vedação a um comportamento surpresa e irregular de uma das partes. Não obstante, neste trabalho se analisará o uso do instituto exclusivamente no  âmbito contratual; assim, uma das partes viola uma norma e, de maneira inesperada e com improbidade, tenta se aproveitar da situação criada a partir dessa violação. Nessa linha, analisar-se-á o preenchimento dos requisitos necessários ao correto uso do instituto pelos órgãos judiciais estudados; para tanto, fora utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica, jurisprudencial e de legislação quanto à metodologia. Ao final, é possível averiguar, com apoio do método indutivo, o quanto o instituto tu quoque é carente de estudos, o que leva, por vezes, à sua má ultização. Como consequência disso, para além do empobrecimento do princípio, é demonstrado o quanto isso prejudica também a celeridade processual.
SUBINDO A LADEIRA DO CONVENTO: ESPIRITUALIDADE E DISCURSO MIDIÁTICO ESPETACULAR DOS PRESBÍTEROS NA FESTA DA PENHA
Authors: De Mello Gomes Alessandro
Published: September 2024

A Festa da Penha acontece na Região Metropolitana de Vitória, estado do Espírito Santo. Durante o evento são realizadas diversas missas que atraem multidões de fiéis e cada uma dessas pessoas expressa uma determinada espiritualidade. As missas, além de presenciais, também são transmitidas on-line e por televisões locais e nacionais, fato que contribui para a espetacularização do discurso. Em tese, os discursos midiáticos estão diretamente ligados a uma espiritualidade que leva ao transcendente, entretanto, as técnicas construtivas e a necessidade de persuadir os fiéis levam a uma teatralização do conteúdo por parte dos sacerdotes, então, como supõe-se que pessoas que assistem às transmissões das missas católicas buscam uma espiritualidade que precisa ser desenvolvida, é preciso entender até que ponto o discurso espetacular dos padres da Arquidiocese de Vitória, usando uma linguagem midiática, favorecem a transmissão da espiritualidade. A pesquisa será bibliográfica e terá coleta de dados audiovisuais das missas das Festas de Nossa Senhora da Penha dos anos de 2018, 2019 e 2020. Resulta disso tudo, que a linguagem espetacular funciona como um sistema de comunicação carregado de saberes que interfere diretamente na construção da espiritualidade católica do receptor, por isso o espetáculo acaba significando a espiritualidade, ou seja, ele transforma em visível aquilo que não se vê, sendo assim, a linguagem também acaba sendo impactada.
