Por la defensa de la enseñanza de ELE en Brasil. la interiorización de su enseñanza en la región Nordeste

Este trabajo tiene el objetivo de presentar datos sobre la enseñanza de la lengua española en el Nordeste de Brasil, considerando las realidades de las ciudades del interior, y las leyes Nº 11.161 y Nº 13.415, de 2005 y 2017, respectivamente. Según se observa, en las últimas décadas hubo un avance en la oferta de la lengua española, en cursos de graduación y en la enseñanza básica, todo ello a partir de la ley Nº 11.161/05, pero esa realidad cambia a partir de la Ley Nº 13.415/17, cuando muchas ciudades redujeron la carga horaria de la referida asignatura. Los datos utilizados como corpus fueron recogidos por medio de la aplicación virtual de un cuestionario al que respondieron 69 profesores de las nueve provincias de la región. Los datos recogidos y su correspondiente análisis señalan que la oferta de trabajo y el interés de los estudiantes de graduación en seguir la carrera de profesor de español ha disminuido debido a la no obligatoriedad de la enseñanza de español en las escuelas, aunque otros muchos sigan luchando por sus derechos pues creen y defienden la importancia del idioma para los brasileños.
Entwicklung saisonaler Raumtemperaturverteilungen von klassischen zu modernen Gebäudestandards - Sind Rebound-Effekte unvermeidbar?

This study describes the temperature and temperature variability trend accompanied with introducing modern building insulation standards in Germany, ranging from classical buildings before 1978 to EnEV-2009 and passive house standards (PAH). Data sets comprise far about 10 million field measurements covering room temperatures and manual ventilation activities as well as an exemplary case study within six modern EnEV-2009 buildings. We find winter indoor temperatures increased by 4 K, from initially 18 degrees C in buildings built prior to 1978 up to about 22 degrees C within passive houses and modern EnEV-2009 standard, and, at the same time, room temperatures become more homogenous while the lower temperatures are almost vanishing. Furthermore, almost 10 % of the windows are kept open even during the mid-winter heating season. We argue that modern buildings experience frequent, unexpected and unrequested inner energy gains and subsequently larger heat storing effects during the entire season, which lead to discomfort and a reflex to open windows. The bio-feedback of residents changes: they may quickly feel a sense of overheating, but practically never more experience freezing events. Additional research in interdisciplinary best practice labs, aiming at an enhanced understanding of individual feelings of thermal comfort and the development of adapted assisting systems, is recommended. This study emphasizes, that enforced application of building standards beyond EnEV-2002 appears questionable, as long as physiological wellness in modern living environment does not harmonize with technical concepts of energy use optimization and should only be introduced on a voluntary basis.

Multimode light shaping: from optical fibers to nanodevices

The project MODES arises in the framework of the emerging interest for nonlinear multimode processes in optical fibers,  and wants to extend it to on-chip waveguides and nanoparticles, where the study of the nonlinear multimode dynamics is still on its infancy.
This project is based on a central key-idea: by properly engineering a multimode system, we can shape and master the nonlinear interaction between the modes into play, and finally exploit it for novel applications in several strategic areas.
This project has therefore a dual nature: one key-idea but multidisciplinary, heterogeneous applications.  It focuses on 4 main strategic areas (SA) and identifies an objective (OBJ) for each one, which is related to the exploitation of a specific  nonlinear multimode process:

SA1: Support technology for Spatial Division Multiplexing (SDM) >>> OBJ1: the project investigates the development of wideband multimode wavelength converters and amplifiers 

SA2: High-capacity SDM data-transmission >>>OBJ2: the project investigates the existence of multimode solitons leading to an undistorted, high-quality propagation in multicore and multimode optical fibers 

SA3: On-chip infrared optical sources >>>OBJ3: the project targets the development of on-chip, widely tunable optical sources that may be used to selectively detect important environmental gases in the whole infrared spectrum 

SA4: Shaping the nonlinear radiation at nanoscale >>>OBJ4: the project aim at developing a new theoretical insight into the way higher-harmonic radiation is emitted in complex nanostructures. Finally, it wants to and to exploit this new knowledge in view of an ultrafast conversion from invisible to visible light.

To conclude, by addressing new theoretical problems and unveiling a new multimode technology, MODES aim at opening new frontiers in nonlinear optics and being pioneer in the field of nonlinear multimode nanophotonics.

Observations of Transiting Exoplanets with the James Webb Space Telescope (<i>JWST</i>)

This article summarizes a workshop held on March, 2014, on the potential of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to revolutionize our knowledge of the physical properties of exoplanets through transit observations. JWST’s unique combination of high sensitivity and broad wavelength coverage will enable the accurate measurement of transits with high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). Most importantly, JWST spectroscopy will investigate planetary atmospheres to determine atomic and molecular compositions, to probe vertical and horizontal structure, and to follow dynamical evolution, i.e., exoplanet weather. JWST will sample a diverse population of planets of varying masses and densities in a wide variety of environments characterized by a range of host star masses and metallicities, orbital semi-major axes, and eccentricities. A broad program of exoplanet science could use a substantial fraction of the overall JWST mission.
Tracing Ideas From Langley (1999): Exemplars, Adaptations, Considerations, and Overlooked

Well-accepted methodological practices require thoughtful and appropriate use to avoid becoming mindlessly applied and distorted. We review how ideas from Langley’s (1999) process data analysis article have been used in practice. By closely analyzing 176 empirical articles in management and organization journals from 1999 to 2019, we highlight how Langley’s ideas have been applied in exemplary ways and adapted through bricolage (a central concept in qualitative methods). In many instances, we found that Langley’s ideas have been given a cursory nod or have even been distorted (what we label as considerations); thus, we recommend how to avoid replicating these applications. We discuss process data analysis tools from Langley’s article that have been underused (labeled overlooked) but that may be valuable in future process studies. Through our deep reading and review, we highlight how using Langley’s ideas can enhance the transparency and trustworthiness of a qualitative process study and mitigate her ideas’ movement toward a mindless template application.

The {sup 15}N(p,{gamma}){sup 16}O reaction represents a breakout reaction linking the first and second cycles of the CNO cycles redistributing the carbon and nitrogen abundances into the oxygen range. The reaction is dominated by two broad resonances, at E{sub p}=338 and 1028 keV, and a direct capture contribution to the ground state of {sup 16}O. Interference effects between these contributions both in the low-energy region (E{sub p}<338 keV) and between the two resonances (338<E{sub p}<1028 keV) can dramatically affect the extrapolation to energies of astrophysical interest. To facilitate a reliable extrapolation, the {sup 15}N(p,{gamma}){sup 16}O reaction has been remeasured covering the energy range from E{sub p}=1800 keV down to 130 keV. The results have been analyzed in the framework of a multilevel R-matrix theory and an S(0) value of 39.6 keV b has been found.
Ipm-4-Citrus, citrus desease integrated pest management: from research to market

IPM-4-Citrus aims to strengthen collaborations between academic and non-academic partners based in 3 European Member States (FR, GER, IT), 2 Associated Countries (Turkey and Tunisia) and 1 Third Country (Lebanon), in order to develop a new bio-pesticide active against citrus pests and scale it up from lab to market. The project’s research and innovation activities are based on a multidisciplinary approach, which aims at understanding and sensitising stakeholders about the health risk factors related to citrus pests and their treatment by chemical pesticides and developing an alternative Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach based on biological control. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) based bio pesticides occupy almost 97% of the world’s bio pesticide market and their use was estimated to exceed 30,000 tons. Despite this widespread use, the originality of Citrus-IPM is to focus on 2 promising, newly identified strains (Bt kurstaki BLB1 and LIP), which were shown to be more efficient than the commercial (Bt kurstaki HD1). In conjunction with validation through field tests, the project will pave the way for future commercial exploitation of a new biopesticide product by drawing up a feasibility study for future spin-off activities and/or new production lines in partner SMEs. Staff secondments and inter-sector and international mobilities between complementary partners will represent a unique opportunity to optimise bioproduction processes and obtain high added-value bioproducts, while building up the partners’ skills and reinforcing the training of early-stage researchers through knowledge sharing and networking. Inter-sectors mobility will bring SMEs and researchers to work conjointly on conditioning procedures for field tests, impact evaluation and product maturation/exploitation. The project will also adopt a concrete RRI approach by favouring public engagement and informal education through the different outreach activities aimed at a variety of target groups.

Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of string-like ZnO/SnO nanowire/nanosheet nano-heterostructures

Abstract String-like ZnO/SnO nanowire/nanosheet nano-heterostructures were synthesized by a two-stage vapor transport and condensation method. ZnO nanowire backbones and SnO nanosheets were single crystalline. Several pieces of SnO nanosheets were threaded by a single ZnO nanowire, forming string-like nano-heterostructures. A preliminary growth model was proposed to explain the formation of the nano-heterostructures. PL measurements showed the band related emission of ZnO had a blue shift for ZnO/SnO nano-heterostructures, which was due to the doping of Sn in ZnO nanowires. A broad emission ranging from 450 to 730 nm of the ZnO/SnO nano-heterostructures might be related to defects in both ZnO nanowires and SnO nanosheets. This special nanostructure may find applications in gas sensors, photodetectors, etc.
Colorimetric Analysis of the Stability of Annatto Dye in Solution and Its Use in the Dyeing of Polyester Fibers

Due to the large amount of toxic effluents generated by the textile industry using most of synthetic dyes, natural dyes are increasingly gaining prominence, in keeping with the global trend toward prioritizing the use of cleaner technologies. However, the application of natural dyes is still restricted, mainly due to their instability in solution and poor fixation onto textile substrates. Thus, research is required to improve the performance of these dyes in order to obtain products with the characteristics desired by the industry. In this study, the potential of natural annatto dye in the dyeing of polyester (PES) fiber was analyzed and the color and stability parameters in solution were evaluated through two experiments. Initially, the stability of the natural annatto dye in solution was determined under different conditions of temperature, pH, and dye concentration and the application of this dye in conventional PES fiber dyeing was investigated. Subsequently, the influence of the use of a carrier in the dyeing of PES fiber was evaluated. The results indicated that the variables with the greatest effect on the degradation of the dye are temperature and pH. The natural annatto dye showed good interaction with the PES fiber in the conventional dyeing process, presenting good results of color yield and levels of fastness. In the dyeing processes conducted with and without a carrier, the dyeing performed in the latter provided better results, with the advantage of allowing the application of lower temperatures.
MOULD FOR PRODUCING HOLLOW BODIES FROM THERMOPLASTIC PLASTIC WITH INSERTS ON THEIR INNER FACES

The invention relates to a method for producing hollow bodies (12) from thermoplastic plastic, in particular to a method for producing plastic fuel tanks. According to said method, web- or strip-type preforms (8) consisting of plasticised material are shaped in a multi-part (2a, 2b, 3) mould that forms a mould cavity, by the expansion of the preform and the application of the latter to the inner contours of the mould cavity. Two complementary intermediate products in the form of shells (10a, 10b) are formed in a first step. Inserts (7) are then fixed to the inner faces of the shells that lie opposite one another when installed. At least some of the inserts of complementary shells are complementary with respect to one another, in such a way that they can be interconnected to form a composite component or a functional unit. The shells are joined in such a way that the complementary inserts engage with one another and/or are operatively interconnected.
Anti-diffusion and source identification with the ‘RAW’ scheme: A particle-based censored random walk

This paper presents a novel methodology for time reversal in advective-diffusive pollutant transport in groundwater systems and other environmental flow systems (specifically: time reversal of diffusive terms). The method developed in this paper extends previous particle-based approaches like the Reversed Time Particle Tracking Method of Bagtzoglou [6]. The reversal of the ‘diffusive’ and/or ‘macrodispersive’ component of pollutant migration is especially under focus here. The basis of the proposed scheme for anti-diffusion is a continuous time, censored, non-local random walk capable of tracking groundwater solute concentration profiles over time while conserving the (reverse) Fickian properties of the anti-diffusing particle cloud in terms of moments. This scheme is an alternative to the direct solution of the eulerian concentration-based diffusion PDE, which is notoriously unstable in reverse time. Our analysis leads to the conclusion that an adaptive time stepping scheme—with decreasing time step—is necessary in order to maintain a constant amount of anti-diffusion (the reverse form of Fick’s law). Specifically, we study the relations between the following parameters: time step evolution vs. time (or vs. number of steps); variance evolution (decrease rate); total time (or number of steps) required to reach a fully anti-diffused solution. The proposed approach is shown to be quite efficient; typically, for every ten time steps, one to two orders of magnitude reduction of the dispersion width of the plume can be attained. Furthermore, the method is shown to be asymptotically exact for reverse Fickian diffusion. The method is applied with success to several situations involving the diffusive transport of a conservative solute in the following cases: (i) Single source recovery in one-dimensional space with constant diffusion parameters (this example serves as a validation test for the theory); (ii) Single source recovery in two-dimensional space with constant isotropic diffusion (this example also serves as a test for the theory); (iii) Multiple source recovery in two-dimensional space, assuming isotropic diffusion. It is expected that the methodology tested in this paper is applicable more generally to complex environmental pollution problems involving multiple sources, anisotropic hydrodynamic dispersion, and space-time variable advection-diffusion flow systems; the modeling of reverse diffusion/dispersion in such systems is currently under investigation.
Structural and functional architectures of multi-kingdom microbial consortia colonizing plant roots

The roots of healthy plants are colonized by a rich diversity of microbes, forming multi-kingdom microbial consortia that impact plant productivity. Despite the expected high connectivity between root microbiota members, our understanding of microbe-microbe interactions in structuring microbial networks in plant roots as well as their functional impact on plant growth remains poorly understood. Based on recent findings in my group, I propose a conceptual framework aiming at a functional understanding the holo-plant microbiome, where microbial interactions play an integral role in structuring root-associated microbial communities and maintaining microbiota balance and plant health. 
By profiling three independently-evolved microbial classes (bacteria, fungi, oomycetes) in the roots of natural Arabidopsis thaliana populations across Europe and establishing corresponding reference culture collections for subsequent reconstitution of the plant microbiota in vitro, I will define fundamental mechanisms underlying the structure and functions of the plant microbiota. I will generate and utilize extensive microbial genome resources for the interpretation of metatranscriptome profiles of multi-kingdom synthetic communities during root colonization. This will contribute to a transition from binary plant-microbe to community-level molecular investigations. Finally, using a genetically tractable tripartite interaction model between the non mycorrhizal plant A. thaliana, a beneficial fungal root endophyte and a rhizobacterium, I propose to functionally dissect the molecular basis of beneficial multitrophic plant-microbe interactions by identifying microbial genes that are essential for both microbe-microbe and microbe-host interactions.
My hypothesis-driven research applies innovative reductionist approaches to reconstitute the microbiota of plant roots in laboratory settings to identify fundamental assembly rules and mechanisms that underpin complex plant-microbe interactions.
Traitement par immunoglobuline sous cutanée facilitée chez les patients atteints de déficit immunitaire primitif et secondaire : l’étude FIGARO

L’immunoglobuline sous-cutanée facilitée (IGSCf), kit à double flacons d’Immunoglobuline G (IgG) 10 % et de hyaluronidase humaine recombinante (rHuPH20) est autorisée en Europe comme traitement de substitution pour le déficit immunitaire primitif (DIP) et le déficit immunitaire secondaire (DIS) chez les adultes, enfants et adolescents. L’objectif de l’étude FIGARO est de fournir des données de vraie vie sur l’utilisation et la tolérance de l’IGSCf chez les patients DIP et DIS. FIGARO (NCT03054181) est une étude prospective, multicentrique (n = 14), observationnelle, conduite en Europe sous les auspices de la Société européenne d’immunodéficiences (ESID). Le début de l’étude était en décembre 2016. La clôture de la base de données était en mai 2021. Les patients ayant reçu ≥ 1 administration d’IGSCf pour un DIP ou DIS et ayant fourni un consentement éclairé étaient éligibles et suivi pendant ≤ 3 ans. Les données ont été analysées par âge (population pédiatrique [< 18 a], adulte [18–64 a], et patients âgés [≥ 65 a]) et sont présentés ici jusqu’à 1 an de suivi. Un total de 156 patients étaient inclus : 15 patients pédiatriques, 120 adultes et 21 patients âgés. Des données de suivi à 1 an étaient disponibles pour 128 patients. L’IGSCf était principalement prescrite pour le DIP parmi les patients < 65 ans (population pédiatrique : 93,3 % DIP ; adultes : 87,5 % DIP),et pour le DIS parmi les patients âgées (71,4 %). Les paramètres d’administration de l’IGSCf à l’inclusion et après 1 an de suivi sont décrits dans le tableau. À l’inclusion, 75,6 % ont reçu leur IGSCf à la maison et 78,7 % en auto-administration. Les adultes étaient plus susceptibles de recevoir leur administration initiale à la maison en auto-administration (81,7 % et 86,6 % respectivement) que les patients pédiatriques (53,3 % chacun) et les patients âgés (57,1 % et 52,4 % respectivement). À 1 an, la proportion de patients recevant le traitement à domicile et l’auto-administration a augmenté à 85,5 % et 88,2 % respectivement. À chaque moment dans le temps, > 80 % des patients recevaient des perfusions toutes les 3 à 4 semaines, et le nombre médian de sites de perfusion était de 1,0. À 1 an de suivi, 21 patients (16,5 %) ont signalé des effets indésirables (EI) associés à l’IGSCf. Parmi ceux-ci, 15 avaient des effets indésirables locaux (pédiatrie [n = 1], adulte [n = 14] et patient âgé [n = 0]) et 11 avaient des effets indésirables systémiques (0, 10 et 1, respectivement). FIGARO fournit des informations sur l’utilisation réelle de l’IGSCf dans un échantillon large et non sélectionné de patients atteints de DIP et DIS, et confirme la faisabilité et la tolérance de l’IGSCf à travers un spectre d’âge. Quel que soit leur âge, la plupart des patients ont pu s’auto-administrer la dose complète d’IGSCf à domicile toutes les 3 à 4 semaines et n’ont eu besoin que d’un seul site de perfusion.
