Linkage between dust cycle and loess of the Last Glacial Maximum in Europe
Authors: Schaffernicht Erik Jan , Ludwig Patrick , Shao Yaping
Published: April 2020

Abstract. This article establishes a linkage between the mineral dust cycle and loess deposits during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in Europe.
To this aim, we simulate the LGM dust cycle at high resolution using a regional climate–dust model.
The model-simulated dust deposition rates are found to be comparable with the mass accumulation rates of the loess deposits determined from more than 70 sites.
In contrast to the present-day prevailing westerlies, winds from northeast, east, and southeast (36 %) and cyclonic regimes (22 %) were found to prevail over central Europe during the LGM.
This supports the hypothesis that the recurring east sector winds associated with a high-pressure system over the Eurasian ice sheet (EIS) dominated the dust transport from the EIS margins in eastern and central Europe.
The highest dust emission rates in Europe occurred in summer and autumn.
Almost all dust was emitted from the zone between the Alps, the Black Sea, and the southern EIS margin.
Within this zone, the highest emission rates were located near the southernmost EIS margins corresponding to the present-day German–Polish border region.
Coherent with the persistent easterlies, westward-running dust plumes resulted in high deposition rates in western Poland, northern Czechia, the Netherlands, the southern North Sea region, and on the North German Plain including adjacent regions in central Germany.
The agreement between the climate model simulations and the mass accumulation rates of the loess deposits corroborates the proposed LGM dust cycle hypothesis for Europe.
Removing spurious inertial instability signals from gravity wave
temperature perturbations using spectral filtering methods
Authors: Strube Cornelia , Ern Manfred , Preusse Peter , Riese Martin
Published: April 2020

Abstract. Gravity waves are important drivers of dynamic processes in particular in the middle atmosphere. To analyse atmospheric data for gravity wave signals it is essential to separate gravity wave perturbations from atmospheric variability due to other dynamic processes. Common methods to separate small-scale gravity wave signals from a large-scale background are separation methods depending on filters in either the horizontal or vertical wavelength domain. However, gravity waves are not the only process that could lead to small-scale perturbations in the atmosphere. Recently, concerns have been raised that vertical wavelengths filtering can lead to misinterpretation of other wave-like perturbations, such as inertial instability effects, as gravity wave perturbations. In this paper we assess the ability of different spectral background removal approaches to separate gravity waves and inertial instabilities using artificial inertial instability perturbations, global model data and satellite observations. We investigate a horizontal background removal, which applies a zonal wavenumber filter with additional smoothing of the spectral components in meridional and vertical direction, a sophisticated filter based on 2D time-longitude spectral analysis (see Ern et al. (2011)) and a vertical wavelength Butterworth filter. Critical thresholds for the vertical wavelength and zonal wavenumber are analysed, respectively. Vertical filtering has to cut deep into the gravity wave spectrum in order to remove inertial instability remnants from the perturbations (down to 6 km cutoff wavelength). Horizontal filtering, however, removes inertial instability remnants in global model data at wavenumbers far lower than the typical gravity wave scales for the case we investigated. Specifically, a cutoff zonal wavenumber of 6 in the stratosphere is sufficient to eliminate inertial instability structures. Furthermore, we show that for infrared limb-sounding satellite profiles, it is possible as well to effectively separate perturbations of inertial instabilities from those of gravity waves using a cutoff zonal wavenumber of 6. We generalize the findings of our case study by examining a one-year time series of SABER data.
Science, Poetry, and Music for Landscapes of the Marche Region, Italy. Teaching the Conservation of Natural Heritage
Authors: Nesci Olivia , Valentini Laura
Published: April 2020

Abstract. We present a new approach in science communication that uses artistic works to entice people to learn about landscapes. To this aim, we use narratives about a place in plain language accompanied by visual stimulations, poetry, and ancient music. The multidisciplinary approach resulting from the encounter and interplay among the different communicative methods arouse an emotional and intellectual experience that enables a personal connection to the place. This work is part of a larger multidisciplinary project covering 20 sites in the Marche Region (Central Italy) that includes scientific information on geological-geomorphological genesis, trekking itineraries, poetry, ancient music, video and cultural offerings. The project is documented through live multidisciplinary performances, the publication of project materials in a book with a DVD attached, and through a web site with the same contents. Among the many amazing landscapes of the Marche Region, we focus here on three sites from the north, the centre and the south of the region: The sea-cliff of San Bartolo, The flatiron of Mount Petrano and The fault of Mount Vettore, chosen as examples for their different processes of genesis and evolution. Our goal is to promote a deeper understanding of landscapes by integrating their origin and physical aesthetic with their cultural and artistic heritage. In doing so, we intend to educate people to have a new perception of geo-sites, starting from its physical beauty, building on scientific study and cultural history, and arriving to the knowledge of its social importance.
HIRM v1.0: A hybrid impulse response model for climate modeling
and uncertainty analyses
Authors: Dorheim Kalyn , Smith Steven , Bond-Lamberty Ben
Published: April 2020

Abstract. Simple climate models (SCMs) are frequently used in research and decision-making communities because of their flexibility, tractability, and low computational cost. SCMs can be idealized, flexibly representing major climate dynamics as impulse response functions, or process-based, using explicit equations to model possibly nonlinear climate and earth system dynamics. Each of these approaches has strengths and limitations. Here we present and test a hybrid impulse response modeling framework (HIRM) that combines the strengths of process-based SCMs in an idealized impulse response model, with HIRM’s input derived from the output of a process-based model. This structure allows it to capture the crucial nonlinear dynamics frequently encountered in going from greenhouse gas emissions to atmospheric concentration to radiative forcing to climate change. As a test, the HIRM framework was configured to emulate total temperature of the simple climate model Hector 2.0 under the four Representative Concentration Pathways and the temperature response of an abrupt four times CO2 concentration step. HIRM was able to reproduce near-term and long-term Hector global temperature with a high degree of fidelity. Additionally, we conducted two case studies to demonstrate potential applications for this hybrid model: examining the effect of aerosol forcing uncertainty on global temperature, and incorporating more process-based representations of black carbon into a SCM. The open-source HIRM framework has a range of applications including complex climate model emulation, uncertainty analyses of radiative forcing, attribution studies, and climate model development.
Optical Detection of Magnetic Resonance
Authors: Suter Dieter
Published: April 2020

Abstract. The combination of magnetic resonance with laser spectroscopy provides some interesting options for increasing the sensitivity and information content of magnetic resonance. This review covers the basic physics behind the relevant processes, such as angular momentum conservation during absorption and emission. This can be used to enhance the polarization of the spin system by orders of magnitude compared to thermal polarisation as well as for detection with sensitivities down to the level of individual spins. These fundamental principles have been used in many different fields. This review summarises some of the examples in different physical systems, including atomic and molecular systems, dielectric solids composed of rare earth and transition metal ions and semiconductors.
Evaluation of Global Fire Weather Database reanalysis and short-term forecast products
Authors: Field Robert D.
Published: April 2020

Abstract. Daily Fire Weather Index (FWI) System components calculated from the NASA
Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2
(MERRA-2), are compared to FWI calculations from a global network of weather
stations over 2004–2018, and short-term, experimental (8 d) daily FWI
forecasts are evaluated for their skill across the Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World for 2018. FWI components from MERRA-2 were, in general, biased low
compared to station data, but this reflects a mix of coherent low and high
biases of different magnitudes. Biases in different MERRA-2 FWI components
were related to different biases in weather input variables for different
regions, but temperature and relative humidity biases were the most
important overall. FWI forecasts had high skill for 1–2 d lead times for
most of the world. For longer lead times, forecast skill decreased most
quickly at high latitudes and was most closely related to decreasing skill
of relative humidity forecasts. These results provide a baseline for the
evaluation and use of fire weather products calculated from global analysis
and forecast fields.

Abstract. Antarctica's Getz Ice Shelf has been rapidly thinning in recent years, producing more meltwater than any other ice shelf in the world. The influx of fresh water is known to substantially influence ocean circulation and biological productivity, but relatively little is known about the factors controlling basal melt rate or how basal melt is spatially distributed beneath the ice shelf. Also unknown is the relative importance of subglacial discharge from the grounded ice sheet in contributing to the export of fresh water from the ice shelf cavity. Here we compare the observed spatial distribution of basal melt rate to a new sub-ice-shelf bathymetry map inferred from airborne gravity surveys and to locations of subglacial discharge from the grounded ice sheet. We find that melt rates are high where bathymetric troughs provide a pathway for warm Circumpolar Deep Water to enter the ice shelf cavity and that melting is enhanced where subglacial discharge fresh water flows across the grounding line. This is the first study to address the relative importance of meltwater production of the Getz Ice Shelf from both ocean and subglacial sources.

Al considerar esos textos del otro archivo de Mirtha Dermisache, el íntimo, como parte relevante y fundamental para sus pesquisas posteriores, en especial su correspondencia con Roland Barthes y las consecuencias que ésta le trajo a su obra, la presente investigación tiene como uno de sus hallazgos evidenciar cómo el gesto de la escritura se vinculaba directamente con la economía y el trabajo, a simple vista inimaginable en las obras ilegibles por las que fue conocida Mirtha Dermisache.
A NOVA CONDIÇÃO URBANA: SOBRE A VIDA NA CIDADE NA “ERA DO HOMEM ENDIVIDADO”
Authors: Soares Pereira Cláudio Smalley
Published: April 2020

Resumo:

O presente artigo analisa o processo de urbanização e de produção do espaço urbano no período contemporâneo. Levantamos a hipótese de que o atual período histórico é marcado por um rápido processo de urbanização, em escala global, que apresenta características particulares. O foco recai sobre a problematização das ligações entre a urbanização, a dinâmica da financeirização e do consumo, com ampliação de uma experiência urbana cada vez mais pobre, seletiva, individualista e segmentada. Em outras palavras, constatamos uma aproximação entre a dinâmica da urbanização e da produção das cidades, de um lado, e a lógica das finanças na produção do homem endividado, de outro, que por sua vez, resulta em experiências urbanas que progressivamente negam a diversidade constitutiva da própria ideia de cidade.

Changes in Student Expectancies and Values in Different Lessons
Authors: Palmer David
Published: April 2020

Students can be motivated to learn in some lessons but in other lessons they appear to be unmotivated. If expectancies and values play an important role in the way students approach learning tasks then we would expect their expectancies and values to differ from one lesson to another, but few studies of expectancies and values have investigated lesson-lesson differences. The purpose of this study was to compare expectancies and values when students do feel motivated compared to when they do not feel motivated. The participants were 24 grade 10 students who participated in individual interviews. It was found that more highly positive expectancies and values were associated with lessons in which students experienced a motivated feeling of wanting to learn. Conversely, less positive expectancies and values were associated with lessons in which students had experienced an unmotivated feeling of not wanting to learn. It was concluded that expectancies and values are very closely aligned with these feelings of wanting to learn or not wanting to learn.
Teacher Enthusiasm and Student Motivation for Learning
Authors: Palmer David
Published: April 2020

Previous studies of teacher enthusiasm have indicated that it can influence student motivation for learning, but it is not yet clear whether all students are influenced in this way, or only some of them. This study aimed to identify the percentage of students who were influenced by the teacher’s enthusiasm in normal classroom settings. Twenty-four grade 10 students were individually interviewed. The results indicated that all of the students had been influenced by the teacher’s enthusiasm, or lack of enthusiasm, in a recent lesson. Furthermore, the students described a wide range of teacher behaviors that they interpreted as indicating teacher enthusiasm. It was concluded that teacher enthusiasm is a motivational factor that can influence all or nearly all students.

El propósito de este estudio fue realizar una adaptación inicial a la población chilena del Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire (SWAL-QOL), instrumento

diseñado para conocer la autopercepción de la calidad de vida que informan las personas con disfagia orofaríngea.

La adaptación se realizó mediante el proceso de traducción y retrotraducción y se obtuvo una versión final del cuestionario a través del consenso de expertos.

Posteriormente, el cuestionario se aplicó a diez personas con disfagia a consecuencia de un accidente cerebrovascular. Los resultados evidenciaron que

la adaptación del instrumento puede ser considerada adecuada. Los valores de consistencia interna para todas las escalas son buenos, con coeficientes de α de

Cronbach entre 0.71 y 0.90. Los pacientes con disfagia reportaron una percepción disminuida de su calidad de vida, los puntajes más bajos se

presentaron en duración de la alimentación (47.00 ± 9.90) y salud mental (48.00 ± 17.78).

La versión adaptada del SWAL-QOL que se presenta es de fácil aplicación en la práctica clínica y entrega información valiosa acerca de la autopercepción de la

calidad de vida de las personas con disfagia.

Las ceremonias del silencio: una experiencia poética
Authors: Ruiz Víctor
Published: April 2020

En mi experiencia poética con Las ceremonias del silencio de Ana Ilce Gómez, muchas veces me he preguntado las razones por las que constantemente vuelvo a las páginas de este poemario. Debo confesar que pocos son los libros de poesía nicaragüense a los que regreso con esa misma pasión del primer encuentro, leer es tan necesario como respirar, pero es un acto de amor el que nos conduce nuevamente a la intimidad de la relectura. De esa primera experiencia me quedó la impresión de que Las ceremonias del silencio reivindicaba una poesía que exaltaba la rebelión interior frente al trepidante bullicio exterior, con este libro Ana Ilce Gómez se sumaba a esa tribu de poetas silenciosos como Carlos Martínez Rivas y su Insurrección solitaria, Ernesto Mejía Sánchez y Ensalmos y conjuros, Álvaro Urtecho y su Cantata estupefacta, y un poco más cercanos, pero no por eso menos importantes: Alejandra Sequeira y su Quien me espera no existe, Francisco Ruiz Udiel y ese canto desgarrado en Alguien me ve llorar en un sueño.
Participação da comunidade na gestão e em ações de proteção da biodiversidade vegetal em áreas protegidas
Authors: Bilar Alexsandro Bezerra Correia , Pimentel Rejane Magalhães de Mendonça
Published: April 2020

A vegetação de caatinga é fundamental para a sobrevivência da população do semiárido, pois capta as águas pluviais armazenando-as em reservas subterrâneas, utilizadas nos períodos de estiagem. Entretanto, vem sendo devastada por atividades antrópicas inadequadas. Áreas protegidas têm sido criadas para proteger fragmentos dessa vegetação, estimular atividades educativas e inserir a sociedade na gestão ambiental. Este estudo objetivou caracterizar a participação da comunidade na gestão e nas atividades relacionadas à preservação e ao uso sustentável da biodiversidade vegetal de uma unidade de conservação, aplicando uma abordagem qualitativa e técnicas como observação participante, grupo focal, entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise de conteúdo. Os resultados mostraram que essa participação cidadã existe, mas, geralmente, é meramente simbólica ou restrita a aconselhamentos por parte dos membros do conselho gestor, ao invés de efetiva ou colaborativa. Além de prevista na legislação em vigor, a participação social é fundamental para o alcance dos propósitos de criação de espaços legalmente protegidos, cabendo políticas públicas de educação ambiental que promovam o empoderamento comunitário e elevem a participação cidadã. Foi sugerido um modelo de rede de cooperação para auxiliar na governança e na promoção de ações de educação ambiental com elevação da participação social nesses espaços.

The objective of this study is to characterize six forage grass cultivars used for hay production. The morphological and morphometric characteristics of these cultivars were determined using a completely randomized block design, and the rates of loss of dry matter and crude protein (CP) were evaluated using a completely randomized design with a 6 x 5 factorial scheme (six cultivars vs. five drying periods [0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours]) and three repetitions. Morphological and morphometric characteristics and the chemical composition of the cultivars were analyzed using the Scott-Knott test, and the drying time was assessed using linear regression analysis at a level of significance of 5%. There was a significant effect (p < 0.05) of morphological and morphometric characteristics, except for stem thickness (p=0.1) and the live-to-dead biomass ratio (p=0.27). The Massai cultivar presented a higher leaf to stem ratio (1.23 ± 0.60). There was an increased linear response (p < 0.05) for the rate of water loss in the six evaluated cultivars. The Massai cultivar had a safe storage moisture content (80% dry matter) after 3 hours and 11 minutes of sun exposure, and the drying rate was 10.34% per hour of sun exposure. The cultivars Paredão and Marandú showed a decreasing linear effect of CP content across the harvest period, corresponding to 22.07% and 21.38 ± 0.55% in fresh plants, respectively, and 20.13% and 18.11 ± 0.55% after 4 hours of sun exposure, respectively. The Massai cultivar had the most efficient rate of water loss, reaching a safe storage moisture content in 3 hours and 6 minutes, with a CP content of 18.63%.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people addicted to alcohol, who share their experience from the period of drinking, but who primarily have ongoing personal struggles with unstable emotions, a disintegrated value system, broken social ties, and other consequences of their old lifestyle. Participants of AA meetings provide mutual support at every stage of recovery and gain hope for improvement in their situation. Acceptance and implementation of the principles of the AA Programme promote recovery and improvement in all areas of life. It helps achieve physical health, emotional stability and better social relations, and creates a stable normative system. Joining the AA Fellowship is very useful for almost every member. The principles and objectives of the AA Fellowship were inspired by American pragmatism. The article presents the constitutive features of this philosophical trend, the inspirations which the founders of the AA Fellowship followed, and data supporting the usefulness of the 12 Steps of AA in recovery from alcoholism.

Mediation in fiscale strafzaken

Mediation als buitengerechtelijke geschiloplossing is niets nieuws. Zeker in commune strafzaken is mediation een steeds vaker voorkomende vorm van geschilbeslechting, met in veel gevallen een positief resultaat. Dat kan gelegen zijn in het feit dat bemiddeling (mediation) als enig rechtsgebied een wettelijke basis kent in artikel 51h Sv.

Ondanks de inzet van mediation in zowel het fiscale recht als in het strafrecht, heeft mediation in fiscale strafzaken, voor zover bij ons bekend, nog niet plaatsgevonden. In deze bijdrage gaan wij in op de mogelijkheden om mediation ook in te zetten in fiscale strafzaken waarbij wij verschillende (denkbare) aspecten en uitgangspunten voor mediation in fiscale strafzaken belichten.

Microemulsion Formulation of Botanical Oils as an Efficient Tool to Provide Sustainable Agricultural Pest Management
Authors: Sharma Abhishek , Dubey Saurabh , Iqbal Nusrat
Published: April 2020

Microemulsion formulation is among the most suitable carrier for the delivery of bioactive and, therefore, has excellent potential for industrial applications. The microemulsion system is thermodynamically and kinetically stable. Due to the smaller droplet size of the microemulsion system, the bioactive covers a larger surface of the target pest. Botanicals and essential oils, in particular, are green options to control various soil and seed-borne pathogens. Each oil contains several bioactive constituents that practically avoid microbe-resistance against it. Nevertheless, to improve the handling and shelf-life of botanicals, microemulsion formulation is the best option available. The current chapter provides the insight of a microemulsion system and explores the possibility of botanical oil-based biopesticides for a sustainable agro-ecosystem. We believe that botanical oil microemulsion could be a better alternative to synthetic pesticides and opens a new corridor for the promotion of the greener way of plant protection in India and across the globe.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Clinical Use after Spinal Cord Injury
Authors: Soria-Zavala Karla , García-Sánchez Julián , Rodríguez-Barrera Roxana
Published: April 2020

Since multipotential and immunoregulatory properties were identified in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the twentieth century, they have been proposed as an effective therapy for many degenerative and traumatic diseases such as spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI is a devastating event with a high mortality rate that evokes the loss of motor and sensory functions due to neurochemical imbalance and an exacerbated immune response as a consequence of the initial mechanical damage, which in conjunction creates a hostile microenvironment that inhibits neuronal circuitry restoration. This chapter pretends to lead the reader towards the immunomodulatory, differentiation, and tissue repairing capacities of MSCs that allow them to be a valuable candidate for clinical trials. In the first section, the physiopathology of SCI will be addressed; after that, the chapter will review the general aspects of MSCs such as origin, molecular markers, and the different mechanisms by which MSCs can heal the target tissues. Finally, we will discuss clinical trials involving autologous MSC transplantation and their limitations.
Performance, Gaseous and Particle Emissions from a Residential Pellet Stove
Authors: Obaidullah Md. , De Ruyck Jacques
Published: April 2020

The objectives of this chapter are to present experimental results on performance, gaseous and particle emissions obtained from a modern bottom feed pellet stove of 2.5 kW output in part load heat and 5 kW output in nominal heat. Two experiments in part load and four experiments in nominal load output were conducted in a stove manufacturing plant in the southern part of Belgium. The particle emissions measurements are mass concentrations of PM1 and PM2.5, number concentrations and their particle size distributions. Particle emission measurements were conducted continuously from a partial flow dilution tunnel using an Electrical Low Pressure Impactor Plus (ELPI+). The CO emissions were analyzed continuously from the flue gas by a Siemens Ultramat 6 gas analyzer, CO2 and O2 concentrations were measured continuously using a Horiba PG-250 gas analyzer. A performance analysis in terms of combustion efficiency together with different losses of the pellet stove is also discussed. The results show that PM1 and PM2.5 concentrations obtained from the combustion phase of the nominal load experiments varied from 43.3 to 276 mg/Nm3 and 66 to 36 mg/Nm3 respectively, while the particle number concentrations varied from 1.4 × 107 to 8.8 × 107 particles/cm3.

Increasing ambient temperature is a major climatic factor that negatively affects plant growth and development, and causes significant losses in soybean crop yield worldwide. Thus, high temperatures (HT) result in less seed germination, which leads to pathogenic infection, and decreases the economic yield of soybean. In addition, the efficiency of photosynthesis and transpiration of plants are affected by high temperatures, which have negative impact on the physio-biochemical process in the plant system, finally deteriorate the yield and quality of the affected crop. However, plants have several mechanisms of specific cellular detection of HT stress that help in the transduction of signals, producing the activation of transcription factors and genes to counteract the harmful effects caused by the stressful condition. Among the contributors to help the plant in re-establishing cellular homeostasis are the applications of organic stimulants (antioxidants, osmoprotectants, and hormones), which enhance the productivity and quality of soybean against HT stress. In this chapter, we summarized the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of soybean plants at various growth stages under HT. Furthermore, it also depicts the mitigation strategies to overcome the adverse effects of HT on soybean using exogenous applications of bioregulators. These studies intend to increase the understanding of exogenous biochemical compounds that could reduce the adverse effects of HT on the growth, yield, and quality of soybean.
Outdoor Education in Geography: A specific Educational Strategy
Authors: Svobodová Hana
Published: April 2020

The publication aims to promote outdoor education as a strong teaching strategy, to describe its links to the school curriculum, and to offer teachers a helping hand in developing the concept of outdoor education. All of this is based on exploring the benefits of outdoor education in teaching and promoting physical activity, which is a natural part of it. The first part of the book analyses how outdoor education is established in the Czech school curriculum, outlining the steps necessary for outdoor education to be implemented, in terms of preparation of both the teachers and pupils. This section also provides recommendations for the development of an outdoor education concept for elementary schools. The second part of the publication is devoted to outdoor education research conducted in cooperation with elementary school teachers, pupils of a model elementary school and their parents, are presented in detail.
Tecnologías emergentes en la enseñanza del cálculo diferencial para ingeniería
Authors: Martinez Reyes Magally , Soberanes Martín Anabelem , Cruz Flores René G.
Published: April 2020

Este artículo presenta una propuesta de modelo de intervención didáctica basada en tecnologías emergentes que incorpora tecnología en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje tradicional, en uno de los cursos de mayor índice de reprobación en las instituciones de nivel superior, el cálculo diferencial; se planteó como objetivo analizar la incorporación de tres recursos: 1) el cuento Letras, incógnitas y demás pesadillas. Mi primer pre-texto de álgebra, 2) un app de Cálculo con realidad aumentada (Cálculo RA) y 3) una aplicación gradual multidisciplinaria (UAEMex Academy app) en la licenciatura de Ingeniería en Computación, para los temas de límites y variación. Se expone la problemática y controversias sobre la enseñanza de las matemáticas hasta lograr integrar metodologías alternativas de la enseñanza tradicional (presencial) con tecnologías de la enseñanza virtual, dando lugar al aprendizaje combinado (blended learning), mediante un diseño instrumental y didáctico fundamentado se mide el uso de la tecnología y la incorporación de conceptos (cambio conceptual). Los resultados en 70 alumnos muestran un grado de aceptación de las aplicaciones y el uso de los conceptos matemáticos explorados como herramientas de análisis y procesamiento de datos para la solución de problemas propios de la licenciatura, generado un cambio conceptual.
An Analysis of Secondary Mathematics Textbooks With Regard to Technology Integration
Authors: Sherman Milan F. , Cayton Charity , Walkington Candace , Funsch Alexandra
Published: April 2020

Research has demonstrated that textbooks exert a considerable influence on students’ learning opportunities and that technology has the potential to transform mathematics instruction. This brief report provides a systematic analysis of how technology tasks are integrated into secondary mathematics curricula by analyzing a sample of 20 textbooks. The results indicate that across the entire sample, nearly 15% of tasks incorporated technology, and of those, 21% used it as a reorganizer of students’ mathematical thinking; calculators were the predominant technology utilized. Investigative textbooks were not more likely to incorporate technology than conventional texts, but algebra 2 texts were more likely to include technology than geometry texts. Implications for instruction and teacher preparation are discussed.
Du disciple à l’écrivain : Paul Hazoumé dans La Reconnaissance africaine de Francis Aupiais
Authors: Aggarwal Kusum
Published: April 2020

Cette étude a pour objet de faire voir le rôle de La Reconnaissance africaine : organe d’enseignement religieux et d’études historiques, l’une des premières revues de l’Afrique occidentale française, dans la recomposition de l’espace littéraire colonial des années 1930. À cette fin, elle s’ouvre sur une présentation des trajectoires croisées du père Francis Aupiais, de son origine provinciale à son engagement au sein de la Société des Missions Africaines, et de l’écrivain béninois Paul Hazoumé, pour aborder ensuite les conditions de production de la presse coloniale, support des prises de parole des premiers écrivains africains de langue française. Elle examine enfin l’organisation et le mode de fonctionnement de la revue afin de faire apparaître sa place, trop négligée, dans l’histoire littéraire africaine : ce périodique fut notamment un vecteur essentiel de légitimation pour une ethnographie faite par les Africains eux-mêmes.
In search of « camerounité »: on the reappropriation of emigrant authors in the Cameroonian press
Authors: Schumann Clara
Published: April 2020

This article examines the reception and self-positioning of fiction authors of Cameroonian descent in the press of their country of origin. It draws upon material from two daily newspapers and two culture magazines and covers a period of 20 years between 1996 and 2016. The analysis of the material is based on the method of qualitative content analysis (Mayring 1983, Kuckartz 2012). The article focuses on gendered aspects of the reporting on emigrant authors, on the negotiation of their affiliation with several nationnal spaces, as well as on the strategies that are employed to reappropriate them into Cameroonian literature.
L’application de la Loi sur les services en français (LSF) de l’Ontario aux services de santé : la problématique des Réseaux locaux d’intégration des soins de santé (RLISS)
Authors: Labelle Eastaugh Érik
Published: April 2020

Depuis quelques années, le Commissaire aux services en français attire l’attention du public sur le fait que le gouvernement provincial semble être d’avis que la Loi sur les services en français (LSF) de l’Ontario ne s’applique pas à la grande majorité des services de soins de santé financés par l’État, au motif qu’ils sont principalement offerts par des entités non gouvernementales. Plus précisément, le gouvernement a apparemment conclu que la LSF ne s’applique pas aux prestataires de soins médicaux financés par les Réseaux locaux d’intégration des soins de santé (RLISS). Puisque ces derniers ne prodiguent pas eux-mêmes de tels services, les entités qu’ils financent n’opèrent donc pas « pour leur compte », au sens de cette Loi. Or, puisque la majorité du financement du système de santé public est octroyé par l’entremise des RLISS, il s’agirait là d’une lacune très importante dans l’armature des droits linguistiques du public ontarien. Et, bien que la province ait déclenché un important processus de réforme en 2019 qui cherche à modifier, voire même éliminer les RLISS, on doit donc s’attendre à ce que le gouvernement adopte la même position en ce qui concerne l’application de la LSF qu’auparavant. Le présent article a pour but d’étudier le bien-fondé de cette hypothèse. Au final, l’auteur conclut qu’elle doit être rejetée. La LSF, à titre de loi quasi constitutionnelle ayant pour objet de protéger des droits fondamentaux, s’applique à toute entité non gouvernementale qui prodigue un service public dans le cadre d’un programme ou d’une politique gouvernementale déterminée, ce qui inclut les fournisseurs de soins de santé financés par les RLISS ou par la nouvelle entité qui les remplacera. L’analyse de cette question que propose l’auteur est pertinente non seulement quant à la LSF, mais également à toute loi relative aux droits linguistiques, dont la Loi sur les langues officielles du Canada. Elle intéressera aussi les chercheurs en droits de la personne et en droit administratif.
