To fulfill the security criterion of imperceptibility, the secret info is hidden in the cover image using image steganography. To do this, a hidden data bit swaps out the least important part of the cover image. The replacement process produces variability, which has an effect on the imperceptibility parameter. To address this restriction, this research proposes a unique optimal data concealing approach based on the meerkat clan optimization algorithm. This method seeks the best secret data to conceal in the cover image to be able to improve the imperceptibility parameter. The secret data is also divided into 2:4 ratios. The cover image is then divided into smooth and edge regions. A 2-bit LSB technique is utilized to hide data in the smooth area, whereas data hiding in the edge region is accomplished with a 4-bit LSB approach. The simulation is evaluated using multiple performance measures to compare its performance to existing approaches. The suggested technique outperforms the previous method in terms of imperceptibility.

Maximizing use of Poetry and Art in Public Spaces for Promoting Language Development
Authors: Stanley Nile , Stanley Laurel , Fletcher Steffani
Published: February 2023

Over time, graffiti has inspired art and poetry exhibits by marginalized youth, once excluded by elite museums, now is surging in popularity, and being curated in public spaces at airports, subways, parks, street corners, and even construction sites. This paper highlights Hope at Hand, Inc., an established North Florida nonprofit provider that uses therapeutic art and poetry exhibitions in public spaces to help incarcerated youth recognize and overcome circumstances that limit their successful participation in society. Also, the paper reviews similar international art exhibitions that re-envision the ways museums can decolonize and support more community engagement and inclusive language learning. The lessons learned will demonstrate the ways in which exhibiting poetry and visual art can engage youth and create spaces for promoting cultural awareness. This holistic intervention framework integrates poetry, museum best practices and the arts for bridging and empowering lives. It fills a critical void in knowledge and practice between the arts, museum studies, public health, and citizenship, by considering place-based research in creating a more kind and inclusive society with the arts.
Imparare le lingue al museo: spunti, esperienze e riflessioni
Authors: Dal Negro Anna
Published: February 2023

L’apprendimento delle lingue al museo presenta una serie di opportunità nella didattica delle lingue straniere. I musei offrono infatti una varietà pressoché inesauribile di temi e materiali stimolanti e culturali che costituiscono una piacevole alternativa, da una parte a certi contenuti ripetitivi e superficiali di alcuni corsi di lingua, dall’altra a tutti quegli approcci fin troppo funzionali che vedono la lingua esclusivamente in vista di qualcosa di “utile”, vuoi che sia il lavoro, lo studio o un viaggio.

In questo mio contributo mi propongo di descrivere diversi settings di didattica al museo (l’apprendimento in tandem, un corso di lingua, un’offerta in autonomia per i centri di autoapprendimento, il formato online), basandomi in parte sugli studi nell’ambito della didattica “fuori dall’aula”, ma soprattutto sulle mie esperienze personali di insegnante, ed anche di apprendente di lingue straniere. Completerò questo mio resoconto enumerando alcuni tratti comuni delle forme di apprendimento linguistico fuori dall’aula, in particolare di quelle praticate in contesto museale.
Actualiser le texte littéraire en L2
Authors: Burg Gaëlle
Published: February 2023

Lire de la littérature en L2 n’est pas toujours chose aisée pour les apprenant·e·s. Une approche motivante peut être celle de l’actualisation. Cependant, elle reste très peu didactisée en langue étrangère. C’est pourquoi nous proposons dans cet amuse-bouche un modèle de lecture actualisante en L2, transposable à l’enseignement de n’importe quelle langue étrangère. Celui-ci est mis en pratique à travers une séquence consacrée à un extrait de Marguerite Duras. L’approche proposée soutient ainsi l’adhésion affective au texte littéraire tout en développant la compétence littéraire et la compétence communicative.
Visiting a museum or learning a language: des points communs aux points de rencontre
Authors: Lichtenauer Karine , Buechel Laura
Published: February 2023

Rentrer dans un monde inconnu ; entre l’apprentissage d’une langue nouvelle et la visite d’un musée inconnu, la découverte d’un monde est sans doute le point commun le plus saillant. Dans un cas comme dans l’autre, pour que l’activité porte ses fruits, il faut avoir l’esprit libre de se concentrer, la curiosité de découvrir des choses nouvelles, et la volonté de comprendre et d’aimer en passant outre les difficultés. La pratique de l’un et de l’autre nécessite le courage de se lancer dans l’inconnu et de risquer des frustrations que l’on espère ponctuelles etlimitées. Elle nous informe sur nousmêmes tout en nous faisant évoluer. L’un et l’autre nous incite à nous positionner comme individu dans une société multiple, complexe et chargée de significations.

L'accès à la culture des personnes étrangères est un enjeu central des politiques publiques genevoises. Le canton compte en effet un taux particulièrement élevé de personnes primo-arrivantes et allophones dont la non-maîtrise du français constitue un obstacle à la participation culturelle.

Afin de répondre aux besoins spécifiques des adultes apprenant le français dans un contexte d'intégration, le bureau de l’intégration des étrangers (BIE) et le Musée d'ethnographie de Genève (MEG) ont initié le projet de médiation culturelle intitulé Parlez-vous MEG ?. En collaboration avec la Haute école d’art et de design – Genève (HEAD), l'équipe du projet, incluant des formatrices FLE et des apprenant-e-s, a ainsi créé un parcours ludique à travers les collections patrimoniales du MEG basé sur une approche didactique actionnelle. Accompagné-e-s par leur formatrice ou formateur, les apprenant-e-s travaillent leurs compétences linguistiques orales et écrites tout en découvrant le Musée.

Le projet contribue ainsi à l'ouverture des institutions culturelles genevoises autour d'un objectif commun : répondre aux besoins spécifiques des personnes non francophones et favoriser l'apprentissage du français par une approche novatrice.

Une démarche didactique autour d’une peinture sur vase grec
Authors: Lucci Carlamaria
Published: February 2023

Je donnerai ici des pistes pour construire une séquence d’enseignement/apprentissage à partir d’un exemple concret, fourni par une peinture sur vase (images 1 et 2) et par deux courts extraits de textes littéraires en langue originale (1a et 2a) : leur avantage est d’illustrer d’une manière synthétique et efficace un imaginaire héroïque ancré dans la mémoire culturelle des Grecs. En l’occurrence, j’ai sélectionné un moment particulier de la chute de Troie en m’appuyant sur deux monographies scientifiques (Anderson 1997 et Mangold 2006).

L’objectif de la séquence est d’amener les élèves à reconstruire ce moment à travers une lecture contextualisée de l’image et des textes, ainsi qu’à comprendre et à mémoriser les points forts de cet imaginaire : des détails figuratifs susceptibles d’illustrer le champ sémantique de certains mots grecs.
The Kṣāntivādi-jātaka’s Fragment in the Serindia Collection of IOM, RAS
Authors: Shomakhmadov Safarali Kh.
Published: February 2023

The articles give an analysis of a fragment of the Sanskrit text from Kṣāntivādi-jātaka of the Jātakamālā (The Garland of Jātakas) by Āryaśūra housed at the Serindian Fund of the IOM, RAS (SI 2998/5). The article presents a paleographic review of the fragment, indicates the features of the proto-śāradā writing used in its text. A logical conclusion has been made that the examined fragment is part of a once single manuscript, divided into some pieces which are currently stored in various manuscript collections of the world, for example, at Berlin Ethnological Museum. Correspondences and differences between the Sanskrit version of the Jātaka and its Pāḷi version are being analyzed. It is noted that the idea of the aggregate of forms (matter) (rūpa-skandha) and information on the yogic technique of cutting off attachments are incorporated into the plot of the Kṣāntivādi-jātaka. These views are more clearly presented in the Pāḷi version of this text. The article contains a transliteration and translation of and commentary on the text of the fragment.

Mohammad Wali Khan Darwazi; The First Liberalist Foreign Minister of Afghanistan (During Amanullah Khan)
Authors: Sayedi Ayatullah
Published: February 2023

History of Afghanistan is marked by conflicts and hostility between kings, sultans, princes and families. Therefore, the correct understanding of this history goes back to the scientific mentality of researchers and analysts of Afghanistan, which indicates scientific neutrality. The main issue of this research is that Shah Mohammad Wali Khan Darwazi has been misunderstood in the non-scientific literature of historical studies, in other words, numerous narrations and different interpretations have made it difficult to recognize this historical figure. Therefore, the central goal of the research is to try to understand it correctly in Afghan politics. Now the question is, what is the place of Mohammad Wali Khan in foreign policy and gaining Afghanistan's independence? The hypothesis of the present study considers Mohammad Wali Khan as the architect of independence and recognizes it as the most important person in ensuring Afghanistan's foreign relations. This research seeks to answer the main question in a historical way and conveys historical findings that would not have been possible without his presence in foreign policy and giving him the position of viceroy. The importance of this research is that it has tried to analyze the role and position of Mohammad Wali Khan in Afghan politics with scientific neutrality.
Effect of soil warming on growth and physiology of aspen seedlings from Alberta, Canada
Authors: Rudnew Stephanie B. , Galeano Esteban , Thomas Barb R.
Published: February 2023

Boreal tree species are migrating northwards due to rising temperatures, and differences in heat tolerance can impact the range limits of boreal species. Soil warming may benefit tree growth by promoting root development, or harm growth by creating a high-stress environment, increasing root respiration rates. We assessed the impact of soil warming on the growth of 2-year-old trembling aspen seedlings from 10 families. These families originated from Peace River, in central Alberta, and Camrose, near the southern boreal fringe in Alberta, Canada. We correlated growth traits with climatic data from each region and analyzed the effect of soil warming on the gas exchange of seedlings from Camrose. Families from Peace River exhibited greater growth overall, regardless of warming treatment, while families from Camrose showed a positive growth response under soil warming. Camrose families exposed to soil warming showed greater total leaf area and total leaf biomass compared to those without warming. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that, regardless of region, some families displayed stronger positive responses and appeared better adapted to soil warming than others. The overall positive response of the Camrose families to soil warming suggests that they have the capacity to take advantage of warmer environmental conditions. Our results indicate regional growth differences in aspen families in Alberta and variation in performance between families within a region, indicating there is differential capacity within local populations to acclimate under rapid climate change.
