Authors: Castro Jaime Citlali Anais , Améndola Massiotti Ricardo Daniel , Burgueño Ferreira Juan Andrés , Ramírez Bribiesca Jacinto Efrén
Published: December 2023

Introducción. La curcumina es el componente más abundante del rizoma de la Curcuma longa, es un pigmento natural catalogado como polifenol (Aggarwal y Sung, 2009) que posee cualidades antioxidantes (Condori et al., 2015). En rumiantes se utiliza como aditivo en la alimentación. En ovejas lecheras, el uso de la curcumina aumenta la producción y el contenido de ácidos grasos insaturados de la leche (Jaguezeski et al., 2018); en vacas lecheras adicionar cúrcuma con otras hierbas disminuyó la proporción de acetato a propionato en el fluido ruminal (Hashemzadeh-Cigari et al., 2014). Objetivo. Evaluar el uso de la curcumina en la producción y componentes de la leche de vacas lecheras en pastoreo. Métodos. Los tratamientos fueron con y sin la inclusión de curcumina, 0.224 g/d/v. El diseño experimental fue cruzado 2x2, las unidades experimentales fueron lotes de vacas Holstein neozelandés homogeneizados. El pastoreo fue rotacional con cerco eléctrico móvil en praderas de Medicago sativa L y Dactylis glomerata L; posterior a cada ordeña se ofreció 14 kg MF d/v de ensilado de maíz y el suplemento de curcumina. Las producciones de leche matutina y vespertina se midieron automáticamente con medidores Alfa Laval® y las muestras de ambas ordeñas se analizaron con MilkoScan®. Resultados y discusión. En la producción diaria de leche, como en los componentes de grasa, proteína y sólidos totales no se detectó diferencia entre tratamientos. Dicha respuesta contrasta con lo reportado por Nurdin et al. (2011) que indican un aumento significativo en la producción de leche al usar Black Cumin y Curcuma aeruginosa en la alimentación. Conclusión. La inclusión de 0.224 g/d/v de curcumina en la dieta de vacas Holstein neozelandés en pastoreo no afecto su producción de leche ni su composición.

L’INTERLINGUA PRODUTTIVA E RICETTIVA DI STUDENTI DI ITALIANO LS IN UN CONTESTO DI SCUOLA SECONDARIA AUSTRIACA
Authors: Schmiderer Katrin , Hinger Barbara
Published: December 2023

Nella ricerca acquisizionale sull’italiano L2/LS i processi di acquisizione sono stati analizzati a vari livelli linguistici. Tuttavia, gli studi che analizzano la produzione e la comprensione e che si occupano delle loro possibili interfacce, risultano scarsi. Questo contributo presenta uno studio empirico sull’acquisizione grammaticale produttiva e ricettiva in studenti di italiano LS della scuola secondaria superiore austriaca. Utilizzando l’esempio dell’accordo degli aggettivi, si cerca di comprendere se l’acquisizione della grammatica segua gli stadi di sviluppo postulati dalla teoria della processabilità sia nella produzione sia nella ricezione. Per identificare gli stadi di sviluppo degli alunni nel secondo anno di apprendimento, sono stati utilizzati dati di linguaggio orale elicitati attraverso compiti comunicativi. Inoltre, sono stati esaminati i tempi di reazione a uno stimolo orale (auditory sentence matching task). La discussione verte sui risultati relativi alla produzione e alla ricezione e le possibili interfacce tra le due modalità.

 

 

The productive and receptive interlanguage of Italian LS learners in an Austrian secondary school context

 

In research on Italian L2 acquisition, acquisitional processes have been analysed at various linguistic levels. However, studies analysing production and comprehension and dealing with their possible interfaces are scarce. This contribution presents an empirical study of productive and receptive grammar acquisition of Italian L2 learners in an Austrian upper secondary school. Using the example of adjective agreement, the study investigates whether productive and receptive Italian L2 acquisition move along similar developmental trajectories postulated by Processability Theory. To identify the developmental stages of learners in the second year of instruction, oral production data elicited through communicative tasks were used. In addition, reaction times to an oral stimulus (auditory sentence matching task) were examined. The discussion focuses on results for production and comprehension and possible interfaces between the two modalities.
ESSERE O AVERE? UNA PROPOSTA DI APPLICAZIONE DELLA GRAMMATICA COGNITIVA ALL’INSEGNAMENTO DELLA SELEZIONE DELL’AUSILIARE IN ITALIANO L2
Authors: Russi Cinzia
Published: December 2023

Questo articolo contribuisce alla ricerca sull’applicazione della Linguistica Cognitiva all’insegnamento delle lingue straniere proponendo uno strumento didattico per l’insegnamento della selezione dell’ausiliare a studenti principianti anglofoni di italiano L2. Lo strumento consiste di diagrammi raffiguranti la struttura concettuale di eventi di movimento espressi dai verbi d’uso più comune da usarsi in classe per spiegare la distribuzione (e l’alternanza) degli ausiliari avereed essere. Le proprietà semantiche più pertinenti alla selezione dell’ausiliare sono rese in immagini schematiche che raffigurano la struttura concettuale di base degli eventi espressi dalle tre classi di verbi esaminati: verbi che selezionano o avere o essere e verbi che selezionano entrambi.

 

Essere o avere? A proposal for the application of cognitive grammar to the teaching of auxiliary selection in Italian L2

 

This article contributes to the research on the application of Cognitive Linguistics to foreign language instruction by offering a didactic tool for teaching auxiliary selection to English-speaking beginner students of Italian L2. The tool consists of diagrams depicting the conceptual structure of motion events denoted by common usage verbs to be used in class to explain the distribution (and alternation) of the auxiliaries avere and essere. The semantic properties most relevant to auxiliary selection are sketched in simple images that depict the basic conceptual structure of the events expressed by the three verb classes examined: verbs that categorically employ either avere or essere and verbs that employ both.

Authors: Mezzadri Marco , Vecchio Paola
Published: December 2023

Questo contributo ha lo scopo di presentare il progetto di adattamento, in risposta a bisogni educativi speciali, delle procedure di gestione e somministrazione del test Progetto di Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri (PLIDA) per l’italiano come lingua straniera. Le ipotesi di adattamento sono state testate attraverso un esperimento condotto in un contesto coeso e relativamente uniforme per quanto riguarda l’età, l’origine e il ruolo sociale dei partecipanti del gruppo sperimentale e dei membri del gruppo di controllo. In questa sede, vengono forniti alcuni dati iniziali, che riteniamo possano essere utili per promuovere lo sviluppo di una riflessione sull’applicazione di adattamenti volti a migliorare l’accessibilità del test di certificazione e, di conseguenza, renderlo più inclusivo, con particolare attenzione ai candidati con bisogni educativi speciali, in particolare quelli con disturbi dell’apprendimento e del linguaggio.

 

Accessibility and inclusiveness in language certification: a case study in Italian L2

 

This contribution aims to present the adaptation project, in response to special educational needs, of the management and submission procedures of the Dante Alighieri Italian Language Project (PLIDA) test for Italian as a foreign language. The adaptation hypotheses have been tested through an experiment carried out in a cohesive and relatively uniform context in terms of age, origin, and social role of the experimental group test takers and the control group members. Some initial data are provided, which we believe can be useful for promoting an ongoing reflection on the application of adaptations aimed at improving the accessibility of the certificate test and, consequently, making the test more inclusive, with a focus on candidates with special educational needs, especially those with learning and language disorders.
FRASE O TESTO? CONGIUNZIONI E AVVERBI ANAFORICI NELLE GRAMMATICHE SCOLASTICHE
Authors: Branciforti Giuseppe , Duso Elena Maria
Published: December 2023

L’articolo, partendo da una considerazione sulla difficoltà che hanno gli studenti, dalla scuola all’università, a comprendere i fenomeni della coordinazione e della giustapposizione e a usare i connettivi testuali nei loro scritti, e basandosi sulle riflessioni teoriche di Colombo e Prandi, prende in esame una serie di grammatiche scolastiche edite in particolare negli ultimi dieci anni (2011-2021) per verificare che cosa degli approfondimenti scientifici sul tema sia penetrato nella manualistica scolastica. Si analizzano quindi 21 grammatiche della scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado, costatando come la maggior parte di esse abbia conservato una prospettiva tradizionale con definizioni incomplete o errate, senza distinguere tra coordinazione e giustapposizione e quindi tra frase e testo. Gli esercizi chiedono principalmente di classificare ed etichettare le diverse forme di coordinazione, anche se – in particolare nelle poche grammatiche più innovative – compaiono anche esercizi più utili e funzionali poi allo sviluppo delle abilità di scrittura.

 

Between linguistics and didactics: coordination and juxtaposition in school grammar books

 

The article, starting from a consideration of the difficulty that students, from school to university, have in understanding the phenomena of coordination and juxtaposition and in using textual connectives in their writing, and based on the theoretical reflections of Colombo and Prandi, examines a series of school grammar books published in particular in the last ten years (2011-2021) to verify to what extent in-depth studies on the subject have penetrated into school textbooks. Therefore, 21 grammar books for secondary and high schools were analysed, noting how most of them have retained a traditional perspective with incomplete or incorrect definitions, without distinguishing between coordination and juxtaposition and thus between sentence and text. The exercises mainly ask to classify and label the different forms of co-ordination, although – particularly in the few more innovative grammars – more useful exercises also appear that are thenfunctional for the development of writing skills.
EDUCAZIONE LINGUISTICA PLURILINGUE A SOSTEGNO DELLA DIVERSITÀ DELLE CLASSI. ALCUNE ESPERIENZE DAL FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA
Authors: Baldo Gianluca
Published: December 2023

In Friuli Venezia Giulia, regione storicamente plurilingue, l’insediamento di comunità nel territorio e la presenza nelle scuole di minori con retroterra migratorio offre scenari interessanti all’osservazione sociolinguistica e alla sperimentazione educativa plurilingue. Il progetto FAMI Impact FVG 2014-2020 ha visto la presenza di assegnisti e assegniste di ricerca dell’Università degli Studi di Udine nelle scuole di ogni ordine e grado, in una fase iniziale per la raccolta di dati di contesto e per una analisi dei bisogni manifestati dagli operatori e dalle operatrici del settore, in seguito per una proposta di approcci e risorse educativi plurilingui. L’obiettivo è stato mettere in discussione la prospettiva monolingue dominante, rendere visibili le lingue e i dialetti di origine dei parlanti a prescindere dal retroterra di provenienza, infine suggerire strategie replicabili e sostenibili nell’ottica di una educazione più democratica e sensibile alla realtà scolastica odierna.

 

Plurilingual language education in support of classroom diversity. Some experiences from Friuli Venezia Giulia

 

In Friuli Venezia Giulia, a historically multilingual region, the settlement of immigrant communities and the presence of children with a migrant background in local schools offers very interesting scenarios to the sociolinguistic observation and plurilingual experimentation. The AMIF Impact FVG 2014-2020 project saw the presence of the research fellows of University of Udine in schools of different levels: in an early phase the main goal was collecting sociolinguistic data and analysing the needs expressed by the school teachers and principals, subsequently a selected number of plurilingual approaches and resources were tested in a number of sample schools. In this latter phase, the main objectives became questioning the dominant monolingual pedagogy, making all the languages or dialects spoken by the children visible regardless of the speaker’s background, eventually suggesting to the teachers some sustainable strategies in order to foster more democratic and sensitive forms of education.

Published: December 2023

Questo studio indaga le dimensioni emotive ed esperienziali dei repertori linguistici individuali nel contesto sociale multilingue dell’Alto Adige. Utilizzando il metodo del ritratto linguistico, analizziamo una collezione di ritratti creati da giovani studenti nell’ambito del progetto “RepertoirePluS” (Eurac Research), insieme alle loro conversazioni sui ritratti. La nostra analisi si basa sul concetto di Spracherleben proposto da Busch (2017), che enfatizza gli aspetti emotivi ed esperienziali dell’uso della lingua. Esaminiamo come gli studenti utilizzino le metafore del corpo per rappresentare le loro percezioni di sé e degli altri e come esprimano le emozioni che sorgono nell’interazione e che sono inscritte e si inscrivono nel corpo. La nostra analisi dimostra l’importanza dei metodi linguistico-biografici e visivi nel catturare gli aspetti emotivi ed esperienziali dell’uso della lingua, e forniscono spunti sul rapporto tra lingua, identità ed emozione in contesti multilingui.

 

Drawing the linguistic experience: body metaphors in linguistic portraits

 

This study investigates the emotional and experiential dimensions of individual linguistic repertoires within the multilingual social context of Alto Adige. Using the linguistic portrait method, we analyze a collection of portraits created by young students as part of the “RepertoirePluS” project (Eurac Research), along with their conversations about the portraits. Our analysis is based on the concept of Spracherleben proposed by Busch (2017), which emphasizes the emotional and experiential aspects of language use. We examine how students use body metaphors to represent their perceptions of themselves and others, and how they express the emotions that arise during interaction and are stored in the body. Our findings demonstrate the importance of linguistic-biographical and visual methods in capturing the emotional and experiential aspects of language use, and provide insights into the relationship between language, identity, and emotion in multilingual contexts.

Systemic Analysis of Socioeconomic Determinants of Health in American Kids with a Behavioral Focus: A Case Study Using the Agent Based Approach (ABA)
Authors: Carmona Beatriz
Published: December 2023

Understanding the relationship between the socioeconomic determinants of health and childhood health outcomes is vitally important to create effective health intervention programs that benefit kids across a variety of socioeconomic contexts. An emphasis on childhood health behaviors within this relationship adds a unique nuance that has not been explored yet systematically but is necessary given that habits and behaviors instilled at an early age are more

likely to last later in life. Thus, this map takes a systematic look at the relationships between and amongst these three overarching agents: socioeconomic determinants of health, childhood health behaviors, and childhood health outcomes in American kids aged 5-13. By exploring how each overarching agent relates to the parts of the others and the parts of itself using the “Agent Based Approach”, we are able to come to a more holistic understanding of how health outcomes are shaped by environmental influences, and can subsequently target intervention points by creating systematized recommendations that will have the most widespread and effective impact.

Gaps in Governmental Nutrition Support for the Malnourished Older Adult: A Case Study Using the Agent Based Approach (ABA)
Authors: Sawyer Leslie
Published: December 2023

Malnutrition and poor dietary habits are a major concern for home-bound, socially isolated older adults. The Systems Thinking ABA approach was employed to examine the gaps within governmental nutrition assistance in the older adult aging-in-place community. Governmental nutrition assistance programs aim to reduce food insecurity in this population, but fail to address mental health’s negative effects on dietary habits. Developing effective governmental and community programming surrounding dietary habits, social facilitation and social support can improve dietary habits and dietary intake in the older adult community.
Mapping the Prison Industrial Complex
Authors: Schinker Ronnie
Published: December 2023

In this paper, the Agent Based Approach (ABA) is used to map and analyze the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) in America. Using this approach, it is determined that the PIC is exceptionally well designed and good at its purpose of imprisoning an excessive number of people, exploiting their labor, and falling far short of anything resembling rehabilitation or the prevention of future crime. There are five salient agents in this system: those who are incarcerated, the DOJ, politicians, private prisons, and companies that profit off of prison labor. These agents each follow their own set of simple rules, which leads to the emergent behavior seen in the system. Based on these factors, the recommendations are made for those incarcerated to realize their collective power, for politicians to mandate the dignity of prisoners be respected through paying them a living wage for their work, and for the DOJ to create a new metric of success while also ending its relationship with private prisons. These recommendations are all consistent with a recommendations rubric, which has been explicated below.

A twist in the plot - Systems Thinking and Building Models for Analyzing Literary Artwork
Authors: Ben Moshe Zarfati Sheli
Published: December 2023

Models are being used extensively for practicing and understanding scientific, engineering and mathematical subjects, but are rarely used as art analyzing tools, particularly, in learning environments. Contrarily, using art to explain mathematical ideas is not unprecedented. Strogatz (1988), for example, built a model based on Romeo and Juliet’s love story, and used it to explain the idea of differential mathematics, and system dynamics. The use of analogies and metaphors as representation is widely recognized and discussed in the context of understanding scientific phenomena, much like their importance for assimilating key concepts and new theories by bridging domains. In this article we will try to show how, by building models and using simple mathematical representations and analogies, it is possible to analyze and understand literary texts from the prism of systems thinking, which emphasizes the dynamic, non-linear, and non-reduction aspects of complex systems. In this sense, the text is treated as a systemic object which represents interactions. In this paper, we will attempt to show how models and modeling processes of three cultural assets, allow renewed, insightful and interactive correspondence with the original texts.

Published: December 2023

In the context of human rights, freedom of expression is often emphasized but the major source of expression comes from journalism efforts. Yet, news media and journalists’ expression continues to be constantly threatened. Reporters san Frontieres (RSF) is an organization that is designed to fight and uphold the rights of free press. However, we argue that RSF operations have been ineffective. In this paper, we propose a new organization called Press for the People (PFP) to address the shortcomings of RSF. An analysis of this new organization will be discussed using the VMCL approach as detailed in Flock Not Clock written by Derek and Laura Cabrera. Plectica was also used to outline our thoughts.

Objetivo. El objetivo del presente trabajo es reflexionar sobre el valor del trabajo de cuidado que realiza una mujer del entorno familiar al cuidado de un paciente crónico en Colombia. Metodología. Metodológicamente se consultó información documental entre 1999 a 2021. Se revisaron textos clásicos que permitieran entender la división sexual del trabajo, la feminización del cuidado, no remunerado, la economía del cuidado, la situación de la cuidadora familiar del paciente crónico en Colombia, para determinar el costo del trabajo femenino.  Resultados. Los resultados muestran cómo las mujeres cuidan de sus familiares con enfermedades crónicas durante extensas jornadas; al emplear una gran cantidad de horas de trabajo en este tipo de labor, aumenta las desigualdades de género, la carencia de recursos y la falta de autonomía financiera. Conclusión. Se concluye que pretender establecer un valor económico al proceso de cuidar a un paciente crónico es una idea parcial, que incluye elementos de difícil mercantilización como el apoyo emocional y espiritual. Por lo anterior, es necesario incorporar una perspectiva económica feminista del cuidado, con una visión ampliada que incorpore la experiencia de las mujeres; esto permitiría reformular los conceptos básicos del análisis económico, presentar nuevos marcos de análisis y elaborar políticas públicas que den respuesta a la realidad de mujeres y hombres.

This paper examines how kaiako (teachers) view professional learning and development training (PLD) in structured literacy (SL) in a Māori-medium immersion context. Through interviews with kaiako in a kura kaupapa Māori (Māori-medium educational setting) who teach students in Years 1-6, and images of the literacy environment to capture some of the literacy practices in classrooms, participants share their perspectives on their PLD training. The findings revealed some of the difficulties kaiako face, such as limited resources and working within a standardisded curriculum, whilst attempting to implement changes based on their PLD training. The findings highlight the need for support from all stakeholders (including policy makers and the school leadership team) to successfully implement SL in Māori-medium settings. The need for further resources in Māori-medium settings and the challenge of making changes to a standardised curriculum also emerged from the study. Finally, the findings indicate some of the potential benefits of PLD in SL for Māori-medium educators and ākonga (students), such as an understanding of how the brain learns to read, some of the key elements of reading success, and instructional principles for effective literacy instruction.

Children with cerebral visual impairment related visual issues in the classroom
Authors: McDowell Nicola
Published: December 2023

Cerebral visual impairment is a high incidence visual issue with a prevalence rate of 3.4% of children in mainstream education (Williams et al., 2021). However, it is still a very unknown condition with very little awareness in the general public (Ravenscroft et al., 2021). The aim of this research was to better understand how CVI related visual issues impact children in the mainstream classroom. Ten parents and eleven classroom teachers of eleven children with CVI related visual issues participated in the research, which used interviews and focus groups to develop a better understanding of the children and to ascertain the effectiveness of a range of strategies that were implemented to support the children throughout the research period. This was shorter than planned due to the COVID pandemic and school lockdowns. The research found that 82% of the children had learning support needs, 100% had emotional support needs, and 91% experienced challenges with social interactions. The CVI education sessions, decluttering, mindfulness, gratitude and calm breaks all helped the children, however the research period was not long enough to assess the overall effectiveness of the strategies and further research is needed in this area.
Evaluation and Challenges of IoT Simulators for Intelligent Transportation System Applications
Authors: Khattak Khurram Shehzad , Khan Zawar Hussain
Published: December 2023

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) constructs a vast, intricate, and perpetually evolving ecosystem exerting profound societal implications. This labyrinthine nature often culminates in errors that directly impact human lives. A significant domain where this complexity materializes is Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Present tools and methodologies inadequately accommodate the complex task of testing and validation, underscoring the urgency for comprehensive review and enhancement. This study aims to present a broad analysis of existing simulators utilized for ITS simulations. It delves into the role and effectiveness of such simulation tools, highlighting their limitations and proposing research directions. This paper scrutinizes both commercial and research-oriented IoT simulators for ITS, evaluating their features and simulation environment tools. We have detailed various ITS scenarios simulated within these frameworks, intending to gauge their readiness for real-world ITS applications and to elaborate on the challenges involved in ITS infrastructure implementation. The findings suggest that despite numerous simulators aiding the evolution of solutions for IoT challenges in recent years, their utility in actual ITS implementations remain uncertain. Consequently, we explore public cloud platforms offering IoT simulation capabilities, focusing particularly on the capabilities provided by the Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT simulation for this study. Our research outlines the pressing challenges in this field, while proposing potential solutions and flagging opportunities for further research. This study paves the way towards improving the reliability and accuracy of IoT simulators in the context of ITS, which has immense potential to enhance the quality of human life.
