Concepts of Mining Management in Leuser Ecosystem Areas in A Special Autonomous Context
Authors: Zulkarnaini  , Ismail Ilyas , Rinaldi Yanis , Muazzin
Published: December 2023

Background: Act No. 11 of 2006 on the Government of Aceh, granting broad authority to the government of Aceh in the context of the management of natural resources in Aceh, as regulated in Article 7 paragraph (1), which states that the government and the district/city authority regulate and manage affairs in all sectors except for the affairs of government, which becomes the authority of the government. Article 149(1) of Act No. 11 of 2006 explains that the Government of Aceh and the Governments of the district or city are obliged to carry out the management of the living environment in an integrated manner, taking into account the spatial planning, the protection of the natural resources, non-biological resources, artificial resources, the conservation of natural resources and their ecosystems, cultural reserves, and biodiversity about the rights of indigenous peoples and to the greatest of the well-being of the people. But the reality is that many parts of the Leuser ecosystem bordered by protected forests and conservation forests are used as both legal and illegal mining grounds. The application of the law to the management of ecosystems in Leuser is not optimal, so flora and fauna can't be saved from irresponsible human actions.   Objective: To analyze the inconsistencies in the implementation of concepts of mining management in Leuser Ecosystem Areas in a Special Autonomous Context.   Theoretical framework: This research and analysis is about discovering and developing the theory of the authority of the government of Aceh in mining management and the development of mining management by the government in the Leuser Ecosystem Area. The Aceh government can establish mining areas with strong ecological authority. The closest government should also efficiently control the implementation of mining activities by enforcing strict regulations and maintaining a natural governance system that regularly guides the mine settlement's local community, ensuring that mining operations adhere to legal requirements, particularly regarding executive and ecological insurance. The management of mining by the Government of Aceh in the Leuser ecosystem area has not been based on the State Responsibility Framework, which plays an important role in taking account of such impacts, while the Government of Aceh has the authority to direct the maintenance of mining of minerals and coal, with the privilege and specialty of Aceh to oversee mining at the level of provinces and districts/cities. Method: In this study, the method of normative law research is used to solve regulatory problems and inconsistencies that occur in search of solutions. The research uses several approaches: conceptual, historical, comparative, and analytical approaches; government regulation; and laws enforced.

Modelling Maize Yield Vulnerability to Climate Variability
Authors: Hazzan Oluwadamilola .O. , Lawal Olanrewaju , C. Elendu Collins , I. Abdulraheem Mukhtar , Pei-Gao Duan
Published: December 2023

The effect of climate variability on maize yield has been the subject of numerous studies globally, but very few of these studies have focused on the local scale in Africa. As a result, the focus of this work is on creating a vulnerability index that combines sensitivity, exposure, and adaptive capacity to assess the degree of vulnerability of Maize yield to climate variability in the south-south region of Nigeria in West Africa. The ratio between the actual maize yield and the projected yield was used to calculate yield sensitivity. Adaptive capacity examines some of the socioeconomic and demographic factors in the study area. A fuzzy function was employed to derive the aggregation of the determinants of Adaptive Capacity (adult literacy, poverty prevalence, accessibility to the settlements of people, and dependency ratio). Exposure was expressed as the average of the long-term and short-term climatic factors (Rainfall and Temperature). Yield sensitivity ranges between 0.471 to 0.698 with moderate to high sensitivity observed in almost the entire growing region. Exposure values indicate a very high level of climate variability with the North of Edo to the Southeastern and Southwestern parts of the State being more exposed. Adaptive capacity is highly variable ranging from 0.174 to 1. The vulnerability index ranges from 0.393 to 0.698. The result indicates a very high to extremely high vulnerability on maize yield across the majority of growing regions in the south-south, which is an indication of a probable yield drop due to changing climate. This model provides a structure for decision-making and planning on climate variability mitigation needs assessment.
Effects of cause-related ads on ethical consumption: An experimental approach
Authors: Zhao Xinsheng , Park Yoon Joo , Yoon Sung Joon
Published: December 2023

Purpose: In light of the rapid proliferation of socially responsible corporate practices, this study aims to verify the effects of cause-related ads. Specifically, we seek to investigate four factors that influence the effectiveness of cause-related ads: customers' perception of cause-related ads, brand-consumer relationships, brand attachment, and loyalty.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This study conducted a combination of experimentation and a questionnaire survey on 324 undergraduate students in an in-class setting. Pretests were performed on 100 participants to select two video ads featuring two different themes with contrasting appeals (rational vs. affective).

Findings: The result shows that customers' perception of cause-related ads positively influenced the consumer-brand relationship. In addition, the brand-consumer relationship significantly influenced brand attachment and customer loyalty.  

Conclusion: This result confirms that corporate social responsibility activities or cause-related ads form a favorable corporate image, resulting in a positive relationship with the company's product or service brand, repurchase or repurchase of the company's products, and positive word of mouth.

Practical Implications: The result suggests that the formation of an amicable image with brands through attachment to corporate brands can increase corporate love and loyalty. Therefore, to create highly loyal customers, companies will need to create a favorable image through a continuous influx of socially responsible ads.
KUMANDE SAMATURU’: BERDAULAT PANGAN DI KALUPPINI
Authors: Nurbaya
Published: December 2023

Hak atas pangan adalah hak asasi manusia untuk mendapatkan ketersediaan dan akses pangan yang adekuat, beragam, sehat dan bergizi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari. Namun masih banyak manusia yang belum mendapatkan pangan yang layak. Satu dari sembilan orang penduduk dunia mengalami kelaparan dan kekurangan gizi. Ini merupakan sebuah indikator bahwa hak asasi atas pangan belum sepenuhnya dimiliki oleh manusia.
Masyarakat adat merupakan salah satu kelompok rentan yang mengalami masalah kerawanan pangan. Mereka menggantungkan hidup sebagian besar padah hasil hutan dan pertanian yang tumbuh di atas tanah adat mereka. Namun, transmigrasi, perbahanan alih fungsi hutan, degradasi kualitas tanah, kondisi geografis tempat mereka tinggal, dan perubahan iklim merupakan penyebab yang membuat masyarakat adat semakin rentan mengalami kerawanan pangan. Ketersediaan dan akses ke hutan sebagai sumber utama pangan semakin sulit.
Masyarakat adat Kaluppini merupakan salah satu masyarakat adat yang terkenal masih memegang teguh kepercayaan dan hukum adat mereka yakini.  Mereka melaksanakan berbagai upacara adat sebagai bentuk syukur atas penghidupan yang mereka jalani selama ini, dan sebagai upaya membangun hubungan harmonis antar manusia, alam dan Pencipta.
Meskipun rentan mengalami kerawanan pangan, namun masyarakat adat Kaluppini mempunyai tradisi yang diwariskan turun temurun dan menjadi penopang ketahanan pangan dalam wilayah adat mereka. Pengetahuan tradisional dalam menyimpan cadangan makanan, tradisi berbagi dan bekerja sama menjadi salah satu kunci ketahanan pangan masyarakat adat tersebut.
Buku Kumande Samaturu’: Berdaulat Pangan di Kaluppini hanya mengutip sebagian kecil dari kekayaan pengetahuan dan tradisi masyarakat adat di Indonesia, khususnya masyarakat adat Kaluppini. Buku ini berusaha memaparkan bagaimana masyarakat adat Kaluppini menjaga kedaulatan dan ketahanan pangan mereka dengan tetap merawat tradisi yang mereka yakini selama ini.
Di saat tradisi berbagi makanan (food sharing) sudah mulai pudar di berbagai kelompok masyarakat di berbagai negara. Praktik nande sesa di masyarakat adat Kaluppini justru masih sangat kental dilakukan. Hal ini menjadi salah satu upaya menjaga tradisi sekaligus menjadi salah satu cara untuk mewujudkan kedaulatan dan ketahanan pangan di masyarakat tersebut. Semoga buku ini memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang masyarakat adat, kehidupan, tradisi serta tantangan dan upaya yang mereka hadapi dalam memenuhi hak asasi atas pangan.
“We need to talk about PICO”: Approaching the move from question formulation to search strategy
Authors: Hateley Erica
Published: December 2023

This paper begins with PICO and its place in health librarianship, before moving to discuss a model of teaching knowledge that may offer some new ways of thinking about PICO (or, perhaps, leaving PICO behind). My two main points of contention with the ubiquity of PICO in health librarianship are: 

That it is only one among many approaches to question formulation; and

That question formulation strategies are treated ‘as’ search formulation strategies.

I am particularly interested in PICO’s ubiquity as a teaching tool for advanced information-seeking within health libraries, and the possible division between what health librarians are teaching and what they do when moving from question formulation to designing search strategies.

Authors: Kuź Adam , Jureńczyk Łukasz
Published: December 2023

The aim of the article is to determine the meaning of the AUKUS pact. The long-term effect of the conclusion of the AUKUS, having its geopolitical dimension, will be a change in the balance of power on a global scale. In the Indo-Pacific, the main axis of the competition concerns two opposing international orders: Chinese-led and American-led. The main research problem is included in the question what is the function and importance of the AUKUS pact for maintaining the American-led order in the Indo-Pacific region? The hypothesis assumes that the AUKUS is to be of key importance in maintaining the American-led order in the region. In cooperation with allies, the US has a chance to maintain primacy in the region, due to the possibility of joint development of cutting-edge military technologies offered by AUKUS pact.

Authors: YADAV A , HUSSAIN G F S , NACHANE R P
Published: December 2023

The comparative studies pertaining to Bt and non-Bt cottons assessing quality performances of fibres for 2004–05 and 2005–06 was done from the data collected at various stages of crop growth at Athawa Agricultural Research Farm in Surat (Gujarat). Two varieties of Bt cottons, viz. RECH-2 and MECH-184 and their non-Bt counterparts (RECH-2 and MECH-184) were selected for the study. Physical parameters of fibers such as micronaire, 2.5% span length, tenacity, maturity ratio, neps count/g and immature fiber content (IFC%) were determined by standard procedures. There was no difference among micronaire, 2.5% span length, immature fibre content, neps/g and maturity ratio at the final stage of fibre development. However, the tenacity encountered some change in the final stage of fibre development.

Published: December 2023

Field studies were conducted from 2008 to 2011 on integrated management of Sclerotinia rot of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czerns & Coss.) involving Trichoderma mixture (T. viride + T. hamatum) formulation (2×109 cfu/g) through seed treatment (10 g/kg), soil application (2.5 kg/ha) pre-incubated in farmyard manure and foliar sprays (0.2%) at 50 and 70 days after sowing along with improved cultural practices at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, which reduced the disease incidence up to a minimum of 11.1% and increased the seed yield up to a maximum of 2.72 tonnes/ha as compared to control (disease incidence 26.9% and seed yield 1.77 tonnes/ha). Validation of management practices were also undertaken during 2008 to 2011 in farmer’s participatory mode under three different agro climates, Zone 1b and 3b in Rajasthan and south-west zone in Haryana. The validation studies revealed that integrated management strategies based on Trichoderma resulted in minimum Sclerotinia rot incidence (mean values of three regions 5.6%) and maximum seed yield (2.19 tonnes/ha) as compared to garlic clove extract (mean values 10.3% and seed yield 1.90 tonnes/ ha) and Farmers’ practices (mean values 19.2% and seed yield 1.66 tonnes/ha). Integrated management strategies based on Trichoderma spp. was found economically viable as indicated by incremental cost: benefit ratio ranging from 1:3.1 to 1:3.8 that was different with garlic clove extract (1:1.2 to 1:2.0), besides mustard seed was produced without any application of toxic fungicides.

Published: December 2023

Genetic diversity and mating-type distribution were studied within five populations of Ascochyta rabiei in Turkey. Of 122 isolates tested for mating type, 52.5% were identified as MAT 1-2 and 47.5% as MAT 1-1. Both mating types were observed in all populations, supporting the hypothesis of a randomly mating population. RAPD analysis was performed on 81 isolates of A. rabiei representing different pathotypes and geographic origins with 54 primers. Results of RAPD analysis clustered all isolates into nine groups an arbitrary level of 73% similarity. Total gene diversity (HT=0.221) was mostly attributable to diversity within populations (HS=0.213). Only 4% of the total variability were attributable to variation among populations. The results revealed low genetic differentiation and high gene flow among populations of A. rabiei in Turkey.

Lint yield, fibre quality and its nutrient uptake in Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)– groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) intercropping system using different fertility levels
Authors: SINGH RAMAN JEET SINGH and JEET , AHLAWAT I P S
Published: December 2023

A field experiment was carried out during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2006 and 2007 at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study the lint yield, fibre quality and its nutrient uptake in Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) – groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) intercropping system using different fertility levels. Intercropping of groundnut with cotton significantly increased the lint yield by 10 % (130 kg/ha) and fibre production efficiency by 8.5 % (0.5 kg/ha-day) over sole cotton. However, it did not influence any of the fibre quality traits and its nutrient uptake except ferrous, manganese and zinc. Substitution of 25 % recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) by FYM produced additional 180 kg lint /ha over no substitution, whereas substitution of 50 % RDN through FYM reduced lint yield by 150 kg/ha over no substitution. Substitution of 25 % RDN through FYM and 100 % RDN (150 kg/ha) through urea maintained similar uptake of macronutrients (N,P and K) in fibre, but 25 % RDN substitution through FYM recorded significantly higher uptake of micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) over other treatments. For producing 100 kg lint of Bt cotton in fertilized treatments, it accumulated 590 g N, 400 g P, 380 g K, 55 g S, 21 g Fe, 4 g Mn, 2.5 g Zn and 2 g Cu in fibre. Substitution of 25 % RDN through FYM being on par with 100 % RDN recorded higher values of seed index, lint index and micronaire over other treatments. Fibre length and micronaire showed strong correlation with seed weight. Similarly fibre length and micronaire showed strong correlation with fibre N content. Results from this study supports that fibre properties of Bt cotton (RCH 134) are highly genetically influenced and least affected by management practices.

Published: December 2023

Intercropping of short duration vegetables with cotton, forming a multi-tier system may transform the cost intensive cotton production system to a more remunerative and sustainable one. Thus, to study the appropriate combination of vegetables as an intercrop(s) for multi-tier in cotton, an on station field trial was conducted during fall seasons (August to February) of 2005-06 and 2006-07 under irrigated condition at Central Institute for Cotton Research, Regional Station, Coimbatore. The treatment combinations comprised eight Bt cotton based multi-tier intercropping systems in additive series along with a sole Bt cotton tried in a randomised block design with three replications. Results revealed that crop growth attributes, yield traits and yield of cotton were not significantly influenced by different multi-tier cropping systems. Seed cotton yield in different intercropping systems ranged from 2.55 to 2.91 Mg/ha, whereas sole cotton yield was 2.62 Mg/ha. None of the cotton quality parameters showed any significant differences under multi-tier cropping system. Yet, highest gross return (` 150278/ha) , net return (` 99232/ha), per day profitablity (` 662/day) and seed cotton equivalent yield (7.37 tonnes/ha) were with multi-tier system of cotton + radish + cluster bean+ beet root (T2). This also showed highest relative production efficiency (RPE, 182%), relative economic efficiency (REE, 309 %) and land equivalent ratio (LER, 3.6) amongst the intercropping systems evaluated. Diversity index (DI), measuring the diversity, was also highest (3.8) with the above system (T2) indicating self-sustaining nature of the system.

Published: December 2023

India occupies second position in the production of onion in the world. Keeping in view the importance of this crop, the present study has been undertaken to find out the growth in production of onion and discusses the application of nonlinear models, viz. Gompertz, Logistic, MMF, Richards and Weibull models, which measure the growth. Time series data on onion production in major growing states; viz. Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and all India from 1990–91 to 2009–10 has been utilized for the present study. From a realistic point of view, the relationships among variables in agricultural and horticultural sciences are non-linear in nature. Non-linear models are very popularly used to estimate the trend in various fields such as population studies and animal growth where growth is not symmetrical about the point of inflection. The results showed that Logistic and Gompertz models faired marginally better than Weibull and MMF models.

Perspectivas de análisis en los estudios para la paz y su implicación en la educación y en la educación para la paz
Authors: Flores del Rosario Pablo , Madrigal Malvaez Anabel
Published: December 2023

A partir del análisis de un seminario, de un programa doctoral, se expone la emergencia de una perspectiva de análisis en los estudios para la paz. El seminario intentaba crear nuevas miradas sobre este campo. No repetir lo que se sabía, sino crear nuevos conceptos. Pero, por diversas razones, la repetición de lo mismo se instaló en nuestro seminario. Su llegada fue en forma de objeción: “este seminario se está enfocando a la violencia y al poder”, expresaron algunos estudiantes, al perecer Galtungnianos que venía de la Maestría en Ciencias para la Paz, de la misma Universidad Mexiquense del Bicentenario (UMB). No se veía que estas lecturas eran pretexto para generar nuevas ideas sobre la paz. No había red alguna, protección posible, para ese momento del seminario. Las nuevas ideas no venían, no acababan por llegar. Pero había un tenue hilo, una pista apenas perceptible. Porque si Galtung enfoca sus análisis para la paz desde la lógica del conflicto y si la violencia y el poder, elementos básicos en la teoría del conflicto, se les analizó en términos diferentes, entonces ahí hubo un destello para discutir con la lógica de Galtung. Con la llegada de las lecturas de Derrida, aparece una idea, que al final se propuso como una cuarta perspectiva de análisis de los Estudios para la Paz. Esta perspectiva no niega las anteriores, las presupone, pero las somete a discusión. Esta perspectiva no parte de la lógica del conflicto, como en Galtung. Ofrece una metafísica diferente para fundar los estudios para la paz. Cuestión que repercute en la educación para la paz.

El docente universitario en áreas de la salud desempeña un ejercicio integral al tener la necesidad de fusionar conocimientos teóricos y habilidades prácticas requisito indispensable para formar profesionales competentes. Esta exigencia hace que el mismo cumpla con un perfil basado en competencias que van desde las relacionadas con el aprendizaje y sus conocimientos de la cátedra, las cuales ya no son suficientes para lograr un buen ejercicio de la profesión docente del siglo XXI, por lo que también se deben incluir competencias relativas a las relaciones interpersonales, a la autonomía y la formación de valores. Estas habilidades moldean a los futuros profesionales de la salud para enfrentar los desafíos dinámicos del campo. Es por ello que esta revisión bibliográfica tiene como objetivo desarrollar una propuesta de competencias que debe incluir en su currículo el docente de educación superior en áreas de la salud. Se planteó la búsqueda de material científico actualizado en bases de datos académicas reconocidas como Scielo, Dialnet utilizando el buscador Google académico. Se utilizaron las palabras clave “competencias profesionales”, “competencias del docente universitario” y “clasificación de las competencias profesionales”. Se analizaron varias propuestas de competencias profesionales y con base en ello propusimos las competencias necesarias para el docente universitario, de acuerdo a las 27 propuestas por el Proyecto Tuning  América Latina. Concluimos entonces que estas competencias son un pilar fundamental en el perfil profesional de un docente ya que, no solo complementan los conocimientos específicos de la disciplina, sino que también contribuyen de manera significativa al desarrollo integral de los estudiantes.

Objectives

To determine the uptake of the Alfred Health Post‐COVID service among people hospitalised with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) or referred by general practitioners; to describe their characteristics and symptoms at eight weeks and the clinical services they required.

Study design

Observational cohort study.

Setting

Outpatient post‐COVID‐19 follow‐up service in a tertiary Melbourne hospital.

Participants

All people admitted to Alfred Health (inpatients, hospital‐in‐the‐home) with COVID‐19, 19 March 2020 – 28 December 2022; people with persistent symptoms referred by general practitioners in the Alfred Health catchment area during 2022.

Intervention

Questionnaire‐based symptom assessment eight weeks after onset of COVID‐19. Dyspnoea, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and post‐traumatic stress disorder were assessed with standardised tools, as were health status and health‐related quality of life; return to work or study, weight loss, and altered cognition and memory were also assessed. Screening was followed by physical assessment and management at the service (specialist general medicine review, physiotherapist, allied health assistant, neuropsychologist) and referral to other specialist medical services as required.

Main outcome measures

Proportion of eligible people who used the service for follow‐up at eight weeks; proportions of service users who reported symptoms and return to pre‐COVID‐19 employment or study; clinical services required by service users.

Results

Of 6712 people invited for screening, 726 completed questionnaires (11%). At least one persistent symptom was reported by 385 of 642 respondents (60% of respondents, 5.7% of invitees), most frequently memory (371 of 656, 57%) or concentration problems (431 of 656, 66%), dyspnoea (197 of 703, 28%), and extreme fatigue (189 of 673, 28%). Sixty‐seven of 453 respondents had not returned to pre‐COVID‐19 work or study (15%). People were referred to a variety of medical and non‐medical services for management, including specialist medical clinics, allied health, and rehabilitation. Among 71 people who also completed questionnaires at twelve months, the proportions who reported fatigue, anxiety, and memory and concentration changes were similar at both assessments.

Conclusions

After acute COVID‐19 that required hospital admission or was followed by persistent symptoms in community care, a small proportion of people (5.7%) reported symptoms that required medical and allied health specialist assessment and management. Our findings may assist planning services for people with long COVID.
Face Warping Deepfake Detection and Localization in a Digital Video using Transfer Learning Approach
Authors: Dhanaraj Rachel , Sridevi M
Published: December 2023

Generative AI (GenAI) can generate high-resolution and complex content mimicking the creativity of humans, thereby benefiting industries such as gaming, entertainment, and product design. In recent times, AI-generated fake videos, commonly referred to as deepfakes, have become more commonplace and convincing. An additional deepfake technique, face warping, uses digital processing to noticeably distort shapes on a face. Tracking such warping in images and videos is crucial and preventing its use for destructive purposes. A technique is proposed for detecting and localizing face warped areas in video. The input video is extracted to perform various image pre-processing techniques that refine the video into a format that is more likely to classify the classes efficiently. Transfer learning is employed, and the pre-trained model is adopted to train using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with the source videos to identify face warping. Based on the experimental results, it was determined that the proposed model detects and localizes the warped areas of the face satisfactorily with an accuracy of 89.25%.
La grammaire dans le FLSco : enjeux et orientations
Authors: Pellat Jean-Christophe
Published: December 2023

Comment travailler les apprentissages disciplinaires en français langue de scolarisation ? On pose d’abord quelques principes pour l’enseignement-apprentissage de la grammaire, qui visent à dépasser les contraires, notamment l’opposition entre grammaire implicite et explicite. Puis, on donne quelques perspectives d’activités grammaticales : priorité aux cas prototypiques, critères de définition des notions, choix des exemples, manipulations linguistiques.
Balises dans le labyrinthe des acronymes. L’essor du FLSCO
Authors: Farini Claudia
Published: December 2023

Les acronymes qui jalonnent le vaste domaine de la didactique du français (FLE, FLS, FLI, FOU, FLA pour n’en citer que quelques-uns) créent parfois une sensation déroutante chez les enseignants qui se retrouvent toujours face à des publics différents aux besoins différents. Quel français enseigner ? Par quelles démarches pédagogiques ? Comment aborder ce vaste champ du français qui s’enrichit de plus en plus de sigles dont l’un des derniers est FLSco (français de scolarisation) ? Notion déjà hésitante dans sa siglaison (FLSCO/FLScol/FLsco/FLSCo), est-elle seulement l’affaire des élèves allophones ou bien touche-t-elle tous les apprenants ? Et par quels moyens peut-on aborder cet enseignement d’une langue qui trouve son application à l’école ? Enseignante de français (FLE, FLS, FLA et parfois FLM) et chercheuse en même temps, l’auteure de cet article essaiera de donner des balises pour se repérer dans le labyrinthe des dénominations au niveau conceptuel aussi que concret. En prenant appui sur son expérience d’enseignement en Belgique et en France, d’échange avec collègues, de situations rencontrées sur le terrain, quelques réflexions et pistes pratiques seront proposées pour adapter l’enseignement du français à un public à chaque fois spécifique.
Usages numériques et discours de l’enseignant : quelles pistes en français de scolarisation pour les élèves allophones ?
Authors: Beaugrand Céline
Published: December 2023

Les outils numériques et multimédias occupent une place significative dans les classes et modifient les pratiques d’enseignement (Amadieu & Tricot, 2014). Ils permettent notamment la diffusion large et collective de représentations sémiotiques variées sur lesquelles viennent s’imbriquer les interactions entre élèves et enseignant. Ces usages modifient également les activités pédagogiques proposées, quelle que soit la discipline, avec notamment des temps de manipulation accordés aux élèves. Dès lors, quelles sont les répercussions de cette évolution des pratiques sur le discours produit par l’enseignant et, conséquemment, quelles compétences spécifiques les élèves allophones nouvellement arrivés doivent-ils construire pour suivre au mieux les cours dans les différentes disciplines où ils sont inclus ?En nous appuyant sur un corpus constitué d’enregistrements vidéo de séances de mathématiques, sciences et histoire-géographie en classe de 6e, nous nous proposons d’analyser les fonctions pédagogiques associées aux usages numériques en classe (Tricot, 2020) et leur impact sur les interactions verbales. Cette étude permet de mettre en exergue des effets spécifiques sur le plan discursif, mais aussi non verbal, en intégrant les aspects praxéologique et sémiotique (Bouchard, 2008). Elle montre ainsi comment des compétences méthodologiques liées à l’utilisation du numérique s’imbriquent aux compétences langagières. La pluralité des besoins d’apprentissage des élèves allophones qui en découle doit être prise en compte pour permettre une meilleure inclusion dans les classes.
