英語語彙学習の効果に関する研究 －高校生を対象としたチャンク学習と単語単独学習の比較－
Comparison Between Learning Words in Chunks and in Isolation by Japanese High School Learners of English
Authors: Ishikawa Yoshie , Otaki Ayano
Published: December 2020

第二言語における語彙学習について、文章を読んだり聞いたりしながら文脈の中で行うべきだとする主張がある一方で、文脈から切り離して単語を単独で明示的に学習する方法の有効性も報告されている。本研究の目的は、日本語を母語とする高校生にとって、英単語をチャンクで覚える方法と単独で覚える方法のどちらが英単語の日本語訳を覚えるのに有効であるかを検証することであった。それら二つの方法を用いた語彙指導を3週間行い、事前テストおよび計3回の事後テストを実施した。実験の結果、両方法ともに学習後18週間まで効果があり、二つの学習法に統計的に有意な差は認められないことが判明した。また、調査した20語の中には覚えにくい単語や忘れやすい単語があり、単語単独で学習する方法では、長期的に記憶に留めておくことが難しい単語があることが明らかになった。よって、これら二つの語彙学習法を相互補完的に用いることが望ましいことが示唆された。
Some researchers argue that vocabulary should be learned with context since it provides learners with the idea as to how the word is used in communication. However, other researchers insist that teaching vocabulary in isolation from context is also effective since learners can concentrate on learning the target words. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of two methods of learning vocabulary: learning words in chunks and in isolation. The study also aims to analyze if there are any words that are easy or difficult to learn and to retain. The results of the posttests showed that the two methods were equally effective for memorizing Japanese translations of English words. However, it was revealed that some words were difficult to retain when they were learned in isolation. The authors argue that teachers should complementarily make efficient use of these two methods in their classroom.

In this study, pure Jatropha oil (inedible plant oil) was converted into biodiesel (Jatropha Methyl-Ester or JME) through an esterification and trans-esterification process. It is then blended with commercial diesel in various ratios to produce four different blends. The ratio of Jatropha biodiesel to diesel (Jatropha:diesel) is 5:95% (B5), 10:90% (B10), 15:85% (B15) and 20:80% (B20). The letter B indicates the total volume of biodiesel in a mixture with diesel. Each batch of the fuel blend was then tested for their physical properties compared to diesel. Combustion performance tests were performed and temperature and emission (NOx and CO) profiles were measured at five different equivalence ratios. Experimental results are presented and they show that the temperature profile of each mixture does not exceed the value of diesel, and results in lower emissions (NOx and CO) than diesel.

Published: December 2020

Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are abundance residues from palm oil plantation was recognised as a potential material for manufacture such as particleboard and medium density fibreboard (MDF). The objective of this study is to identify and assess the potential effects of chemical treatment and concentration on the mechanical and bonding properties of MDF from EFB oil palm fibres. The EFB fibres were treated at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and acetic acid (CH?COOH), and the fibres were used in the MDF production. Mechanical test included modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE) and internal bonding (IB) were conducted. Between the chemical treatment and the concentration, the chemical types used had a more prominent effect compared to the concentration. This study also shows that both treatments resulted in different MDF performance, where acid acetic fibre produced better bending and bonding properties. The optimum condition was 0.4% for NaOH and 0.6% for CH?COOH to produced panels with good strength and better dimensional stability. Such sample for 0.4% NaOH had 17.9 MPa, 1297 MPa and 0.48 MPa, and for 0.6% CH?COOH had 22.1 MPa, 1641 MPa and 0.56 MPa, for MOR, MOE and IB, respectively.
Improvement of the Handover Performance and Channel Allocation Scheme using Fuzzy Logic, Artificial Neural Network and Neuro-Fuzzy System to Reduce Call Drop in Cellular Network
Authors: Islam Md. Ariful , Hasan Md. Rakib , Begum Amena
Published: December 2020

Due to handover failure, call drop occurs frequently. When a large number of incoming and handoff calls arrive at the same time, the performance of the conventional handoff algorithms may fall down. Moreover, multiple factors such as signal quality and available channels of cellular network can’t be evaluated in conventional algorithms. When mobile station (MS) moves, the connection of MS with nearby base station (BS) has to be switched from one to adjacent station. In this case, unnecessary handoffs will be occurred due to lack of proper decision of handoffs or lack of consideration about signal quality with available free channels. As a result call drop will occur frequently. For performing handoff efficiently, fuzzy logic based handoff decision algorithm, adaptive handoff threshold level using neural network and priority based dynamic channel allocation algorithm using neuro-fuzzy system has been proposed in this work. These algorithms will mainly focus on the proper decision of handoff based on evaluating signal strength, available free channels, spectrum efficiency, MS speed and distance from BS so that unnecessary and inefficient handoffs can’t be performed. Simulation revealed that using neuro-fuzzy system, the channel capacity, SIR and Handoff management were improved better than the others in terms of spectrum utilization efficiency, MS speed and SIR. The efficacy of the methodology has been proved by imitating the proposed model using MATLAB software.

Transmission transition: Modernizing U.S. transmission planning to support decarbonization
Authors: Kasam-Griffith Alisha , Turkmani Natasha S. , Wolf Martin J. , Peluso Nina C. , Green Thomas W.
Published: December 2020

Decarbonization and degrading infrastructure present twin challenges to the aging U.S. electrical grid, which is vital to the economy, national security, and public well-being. This article addresses challenges around transmission planning processes and policy options to improve these. Specifically, long-term regional transmission planning is hindered by conflicts over the equitable distribution of costs incurred and the benefits achieved by new development, as well as siting and permitting challenges. Policy changes that require comprehensive estimation of benefits and joint trans-regional evaluation can promote projects that fulfill grid requirements effectively and economically. In addition, increased regulatory direction and consideration for non-transmission alternatives (NTAs) and related distribution technologies could defer or replace the need for new transmission.

Authors: Siahaan Jekson Martiar , Illyas Syaffruddin , Lindarto Dharma , Nainggolan Marline
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) causes insulin resistance and disordered insulin secretion. Pathomechanisms of T2D consist of dysfunctional pancreatic β-cell and insulin resistance caused by free radical (reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species) that produced from the glucose metabolism pathway. Insulin resistance can be measured using the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Oxidative stress can measure through the activities of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD).
AIM: This research aims to study the potential of chayote (Sechium edule Jacq. Swartz) to be used as antihyperglycemic in T2D.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research was conducted with a post-test randomized controlled group design. Eleven groups with four male rats each were used. Normal untreated rats were treated under ad libitum feeding and drinking condition. Meanwhile, the rat models were induced with the combination of 45 mg/kg b.w. streptozotocin, 110 mg/kg b.w. nicotinamide, 40.5 mg/kg b.w. metformin, high-fat diet, and/or chayote extract. The chayote extract was orally administered to the rat in the form of ethanol extract and/or ethyl acetate fraction, with three dosages of 45 mg/kg b.w., 100 mg/kg b.w., and 150 mg/kg b.w. for each extract type. The body weight, glucose level, insulin level, MDA, and SOD activities were measured. The HOMA-IR was used.
RESULTS: The lowest body weight of the rat model in week 0 was 145 ± 25.31, founded in Group H that was treated with ethyl acetate fraction of chayote extract (45 mg/kg b.w.). The lowest blood sugar level in the group with 2 h glucose load was 112.5 ± 27.00 on average, found in Group G that was treated with chayote ethanolic extract (150 mg/kg b.w.). The highest SOD in the group treated with chayote extract was 1.27 ± 0.20, founded in Group H treated with ethyl acetate 45 mg/kg b.w. The lowest level of MDA was 0.86 ± 0.70 in Group H treated with ethyl acetate 45 mg/kg b.w. The lowest fasting blood sugar spectrophotometer level was 150.54 ± 17.24 mg/dl in Group K with metformin treatment, followed by 155.16 ± 31.92 mg/dl in Group K treated 45 mg/kg b.w. ethanol treatment. The highest insulin level was 6.14 ± 0.71, founded in Group F that was treated with chayote ethanolic extract 100 mg/kg b.w. The lowest measurement of HOMA-IR was 0.16 ± 0.80 in Group E treated with ethanol extract of chayote 45 mg/kg b.w.
CONCLUSION: Ethanol extract and fractionation of chayote work as an antioxidant and anti-insulin resistance.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Multiple variations of the palmaris longus (PL) muscle are reported throughout literature and include variations such as double muscle bellies, inversion of muscle belly and tendon, and the absence of the muscle. The muscle functions as a weak flexor of the wrist. It originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus, projects as a superficial muscle of the anterior compartment of the forearm, lies over the transverse carpal ligament, and inserts into the palmar aponeurosis.
CASE REPORT: Routine dissection of the right forearm of a 70-year-old Caucasian male revealed a rare duplicated PL muscle with the medial PL muscle being reversed. The left forearm appeared normal, with no such variations. The cadaver showed no significant pathological findings due to this variation. Innervation and vasculature of the variant muscle appeared normal.
CONCLUSION: The PL muscle is highly variable, and clinicians need to be aware of its many possible presentations due to its involvement in surgery, symptomatic clinical presentations, and as an anatomical landmark.
Intraarticular Migration of Broken Patella Cerclage and Figure-of-Eight Wire
Authors: Anwar Iwan Budiwan , Hadinoto Seti Aji , Sentana Okkie Mharga
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Breakage of the wire commonly follows the procedure performed for displaced patellar fractures; nevertheless, there have not been many reports about wire fragment migration. To the best of our knowledge, there were only six documented cases of wire fragment intraarticular translocation.
CASE REPORT: A 47-year-old male patient, with a history of patella fracture 3 years ago, was treated with cerclage and figure-of-eight wiring, presented with severe restriction of knee movements for the past 4 weeks. X-ray and fluoroscopy examination showed cerclage wire had broken at multiple sites with one broken piece migrated posterior intraarticularly. This case is unique due to the size of the migrated broken cerclage wire, which was about only length 1.5 cm and diameter 1.25 mm attached to posterior lateral condyle which prevented its further migration; otherwise, it could damage neurovascular structures. This intraarticular piece of wire was removed successfully with fluoroscopy support.
CONCLUSION: Increased time-lapse from the initial surgery, the comminution of the fragment fracture, wire shape and size, and the incorrect placement of wire are the risk factors of intraarticular migration. We should educate the patient about the risks of hardware failure and possible migration with all patients receiving bone fixation with wires, and we can offer elective hardware removal as an option.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Giant cell tumor (GCT) of distal radius poses problems for reconstruction following tumor resection. Reconstructive procedures such as vascularized and non-vascularized fibular graft, osteoarticular allograft, ceramic prosthesis, and mega prosthesis have been implanted for substitution of the defect in distal radius following resection. We described the outcome of distal radius GCT following wide resection and reconstruction with a locking plate and pedicle screw.
CASE REPORT: A 35-years-old female came with a chief complaint of a painful lump in the right wrist for 8 months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the appearance of a cutaneous GCT, Campanacci 3. We performed wide resection and reconstruction with a locking plate and pedicle screw system. In 6 months follow-up, there was no significant pain, no sign of infection, and a functional range of movement, wrist extension 0–60°, wrist flexion 0–30°, and preserved hands movements.
CONCLUSION: Reconstruction of distal radius GCT with a locking plate and pedicle screw system showed excellent functional outcomes. This method is a viable option as it provides good pain relief and functional improvement. However, the long-term outcome needs further evaluation.

Authors: Nassar Mahmoud Ibrahim , Ahmed A. , Dina A. , Abdullah A.
Published: December 2020

AIM: The aim of the study was to study the effect of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (rhBMP-7) on the osteoblast-like cells cultured on implant.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The osteoblast-like osteo-1 cell line was used in this experiment and derived from the parietal bone tissue of newborn albino rats. The cells were incubated in a humid atmosphere of 95% air and 5% carbon dioxide at 37°C. The medium was changed every 2 days. Four groups were conducted as follows osteoclast-like cell (machined), implanted osteoclast-like cell on titanium (Ti) (modified), osteoclast-like cell supplemented with BMP-7 (Machined + BMP-7), and implanted osteoclast-like cell on Ti and supplemented with BMP-7 (Modified + BMP-7).
RESULTS: Cell proliferation was influenced by rhBMP-7, as demonstrated by a significant increase in collagen content after 7 and 21 days of culture (p = 0.005) and a significant increase in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity after 7 days (p < 0.001). The addition of rhBMP-7 influenced ALP activity, and a significant increase was observed after 21 days (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of the study, we concluded that the presence of rhBMP-7 did not influence cell adhesion to chemically modified Ti surfaces but provided an additional stimulus during the differentiation of rat osteo-1 cells cultured on this type of surface.

Authors: Utama Bobby indra
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Uterine inversion is a rare obstetric emergency but potentially serious complication of labor. This disease characterized by severe pain and can cause life-threatening condition. If these not immediately identified, the massive and underestimated blood loss can lead to hypovolemic shock. Therefore, early diagnosis and management of this condition is desirable. The objective of the study was to report on the management of chronic uterine inversion due to myoma geburt.
CASE REPORT: A 46-year-old patient was admitted to the gynecology ward of Dr. M. Djamil Central General Hospital with slight bleeding from vagina for 1 month ago with 2–3 pieces of underwear dark red colored, with pain. Bleeding from the vagina often recurs. There was a mass revealed from vagina with size as big as baby’s head. The mass had pus and necrotic tissue.
 CONCLUSION: Uterine inversion is a serious obstetric complication due to life threaten of the patient. Its low incidence leads to scarce experience in solving this kind of situation. There are some risk factors or mechanism as an underlying etiology of uterine inversion. The authors concluded that the presence of myoma geburt can be associated with the chronic uterine inversion. Surgical approach by eksterpation of myoma geburt with total hysterectomy can be the right procedure. Therefore, it is essential to keep in mind this diagnosis in all cases of vaginal bleeding.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using quadriceps tendon (QT) grafts provides favorable results with minimal complications and can be performed in patients with open epiphyseal plates. Following MPFL reconstruction using QT grafts, the outcomes have been evaluated, but the residual quadriceps strength (QS) has never been evaluated.
AIM: We analyzed the knee’s range of motion (ROM), thigh circumference (TC), and QS at donor leg sites compared with those at contralateral healthy sites after MPFL reconstruction. The hypothesis was that there is no morbidity at donor sites.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction using QT autografts between January and December 2017 were recruited. The ROM, TC, and QS were measured 6 months postoperatively.
RESULTS: Twenty-one patients (8 men, 14 women; mean age, 28.40 ± 10.78 years [range, 16–45]) were included in the study. The TCs at the donor and contralateral sites (medians: 37 and 37.5 cm, respectively) showed no significant difference (p = 0.64). QS measurements showed means of 182 ± 4.6 N and 190 ± 4.7 N at the donor and contralateral sites, respectively (p = 0.376). There were no ROM deficits.
CONCLUSIONS: The ROM, TC, and QS at donor sites were similar to those at contralateral sites. The QT is a suitable graft for MPFL reconstruction.

As the second priority, buying daily necessities such as bread, food, clothes … (42.75%) was one of the reasons for the elderly to leave home. Furthermore, education, gender, age, underlying diseases, occupation, and living conditions of the elderly were related to the needs of health services and living necessities and this relationship was statistically significant (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Effective interventions should be designed based on the causes of the elderly leaving home, including the use of home distance care and health ambassadors to estimate the needs and causes of leaving home. Therefore, the elderly would be protected from this disease and its mortality.

BACKGROUND: Worldwide gastric cancer (GC) ranks sixth in incidence and second in mortality among all malignancies. CDX2 has an essential role in the development and maintenance of intestinal differentiation in the gut and ectopic sites such as intestinal metaplasia (IM) of the stomach. SOX2 contributes to the cell lineages normally found in the stomach, suggesting contribution in gastric differentiation. AIM: The aim of the study was to assess the expression of CDX2 and SOX2 in chronic gastritis (CG) lesions associated with Helicobacter pylori, IM, or dysplasia as well as in intestinal-type GC. METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining for CDX2 and SOX2 were applied on archival paraffin blocks from 80 CG cases, 40 intestinal-type GC cases, and 10 controls. CG cases were either of non-specific inflammation or associated with H. pylori infection. GC cases were of intestinal-type only, excluding any other type of GC. Control cases were of minimal gastritis, negative for H. pylori, IM, and dysplasia. RESULTS: CDX2 expression was correlated with CG associated with H. pylori, IM, and dysplasia as well as with more differentiated and less invasive pattern of intestinal-type GC, while SOX2 expression was correlated with CG negative for H. pylori and IM as well as with less differentiated and more invasive intestinal-type GC. CONCLUSION: Both CDX2 and SOX2 could predict the behavior of CG disease over time and plan the suitable line of treatment and both proteins could be potential targets for novel therapeutic interventions.
One Year of Experience in Using Hand-Held Ultrasound as a Learning Tool in Ultrasound Rotation at the Emergency Department
Authors: Lenghong Kamonwon , Apiratwarakul Korakot
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Recent advancements in ultrasound technology have been introduced in medical education. The use of the hand-held ultrasound device (the HHU device) has been implemented in many medical schools. However, no studies have previously been conducted in Thailand.
AIM: We aimed at evaluating the experience of using the HHU device in the ultrasound rotation for the emergency medicine (EM) residents.
METHODS: A survey was conducted of 1st-year EM residents at the Emergency Department at Srinagarind Hospital, who had been trained to use point-of-care ultrasound and who were provided with a HHU device during their 2-week ultrasound rotation during the period from July 2019 to June 2020. The survey consisted of ten questions about the participants’ learning experiences in using the HHU. Moreover, we evaluate the process of reviewing the ultrasound images and ultrasound video clips from the HHU device.
RESULTS: The response rate for the survey was 100%. On the baseline survey, most participants rated their learning experiences in using the HHU device at more than four points. Overall, 106 patients were examined with the HHU device. All ultrasound video clips and images were examined in the section for “reviewing the ultrasound images.” The three areas that were the most frequently examined had been the abdomen, the heart, and the soft tissue and musculoskeletal, respectively. During these ultrasound examinations, 82 positive findings (77.36%) were discovered.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the participants had agreed that the HHU device was a tool, which had the potential to promote learning during the ultrasound rotation.
Jeunes femmes engagées dans les quartiers populaires

Published: December 2020

Sous l’angle du genre et à travers le témoignage croisé de militantes de quartier, d’une politologue et d’une chercheuse, cet article propose un aperçu des dynamiques de l’engagement féminin dans les quartiers populaires. Les trajectoires militantes restituées ici permettent de saisir le contexte de cet engagement mais aussi ses différents enjeux autour de deux registres : la lutte contre les violences et l’investissement dans les questions d’éducation.
Valeurs, pratiques et transmission : les recettes d’un foodpreneur responsable
Authors: Sarrouy-Watkins Nathalie , Gahlam Nadia
Published: December 2020

Cet entretien avec Alain Fontaine, fondateur du restaurant Le Mesturet, porte sur ce qui est essentiel à intégrer dans la formation à l’entrepreneuriat en développement durable (DD). Il nous révèle que les trois types de capabilities au sens de Sarasvathy (2008) 1 et Obrecht (2016) 2 doivent y être développés pour favoriser la capacité à agir de manière durable des foodpreneurs. Il y a d’abord les valeurs, véritable socle des activités durables, dont l’émergence gagne à être encouragée, aussi bien chez les employés que chez les clients. Il y a ensuite des savoirs spécifiques au secteur de la restauration, en termes de business model , d’approvisionnement et de processus de production (revalorisation et recyclage des déchets) dont l’enseignement pourrait être généralisé à partir de l’analyse des meilleures pratiques. Il y a enfin l’importance des communautés à créer à l’interne (employés) et à l’externe (clients et partenaires).
Développer les valeurs de durabilité et les aspirations : une pédagogie inspirée des foodpreneurs
Authors: Sarrouy-Watkins Nathalie , Gahlam Nadia
Published: December 2020

L’éducation à l’entrepreneuriat en développement durable (DD) est une étape essentielle dans la mise en place et le développement d’une politique de DD. L’hypothèse est faite dans cet article que celle-ci repose sur les valeurs du futur entrepreneur qui lui permettent de définir puis d’atteindre ses buts supérieurs en matière de durabilité. Les récits de vie de trois foodpreneurs illustrent le lien entre les idéaux de durabilité et les aspirations qui se matérialisent par la création d’entreprises aux pratiques durables. Les récits révèlent également que ces idéaux suscitent un désir constant de surmonter les difficultés inhérentes aux engagements sociaux et environnementaux. Ainsi, c’est sur la base de ces constats que nous contribuons à la création d’une pédagogie pouvant s’insérer dans un programme de formation supérieure en entrepreneuriat, visant à identifier les valeurs durables et faire émerger les aspirations des apprenants.
Peut-on descendre du vélo pour se regarder pédaler ?
Authors: Singer Christophe
Published: December 2020

Selon une logique de l’action couramment admise dans les lieux de formation, il est de bonne méthode de problématiser ses faits et gestes en installant des situations de miroir. Qu’en est-il quand l’action est celle qui consiste à mettre en mots une théologie chrétienne qui place au centre de son questionnement non des problèmes dans l’existence, mais le mystère de l’existence elle-même ? Christophe Singer explore ce paradoxe, qui dépasse la méthodologie, sur le terrain de la théologie pratique et de l’exégèse.
L’exégète et le systématicien face à la liberté de l’Évangile – deux vérités différentes ?
Authors: Bühler Pierre
Published: December 2020

En sept thèses, Pierre Bühler réfléchit à la nécessaire collaboration entre exégète, systématicien et praticien pour faire advenir la liberté de l’Évangile comprise ici comme la liberté que l’Évangile suscite. Il pointe les enjeux de cette interdisciplinarité et en souligne les impasses menant à l’instrumentalisation et l’assèchement du texte biblique. En compagnie de Kierkegaard, Bultmann, Ricœur et Ebeling, le systématicien neuchâtelois plaide en faveur d’une interpellation mutuelle des disciplines au service de la proclamation de l’Évangile.
Les modulateurs d’assertion en français et en japonais du point de vue de la constructionnalisation
Authors: Tuchais Simon
Published: December 2020

On peut identifier en français comme en japonais une classe d’expressions, représentées respectivement par je crois et to omou , qui peuvent s’utiliser pour signaler que l’énoncé qui les contient est l’expression d’une opinion personnelle, modulant ainsi son assertion. Le but de cette étude est d’examiner leurs caractéristiques syntaxiques, sémantiques et pragmatiques dans le cadre de la constructionnalisation (Traugott & Trousdale 2013). L’examen met en lumière, dans les deux cas, des faits qui appuient l’hypothèse d’un tel processus, tout en faisant apparaître des différences liées principalement à la structure des phrases dans les deux langues.
Le genre/sexe dans la constructionnalisation de syntagmes du type nation sœur , femme maire en français : étude contrastive français-japonais
Authors: Fujimura Itsuko
Published: December 2020

Le travail vise à élucider le rôle que joue le genre grammatical dans la composition [ nn ] en français, en mettant en évidence les différences avec le japonais. Nos analyses portent sur deux questions : l’ordre des mots des séquences [ femme  + nh ] ( femme maire ) et la cooccurrence dans les séquences [ nnh  + nh.p ] ( nation sœur ). En japonais, ces deux questions sont sémantiquement déterminées par la typicité en tant que nom et la transparence de la métaphore. En français, dans ces deux cas, l’intervention de la construction schématique [forme : genre grammatical] ↔ [sens : sexe dénotatif] dans le réseau de constructions entraîne un processus de « constructionnalisation procédurale » qui aboutit à une construction peu prédictible.
Que fait le genre à l’éthique théologique ?
Authors: Saintôt Bruno
Published: December 2020

Depuis la Quatrième conférence mondiale sur les femmes de Pékin, en 1995, le magistère catholique n’a cessé de s’opposer à l’usage du terme genre, accusé de propager une idéologie cherchant à déconstruire la sexualité, la procréation, la famille. Une valorisation récente du genre comme « rôle socioculturel du sexe » continue à souligner les dangers d’une dissociation entre sexe et genre. En adoptant une perspective historique, l’article analyse les significations et usages de la notion de genre. Il propose également une évaluation des changements théologiques opérés (justification des rôles et des pouvoirs, sexualité), des changements possibles (homosexualité), des impensés (transidentité et transsexualité), et des points fermes de résistance éthique (rapport au corps, procréation, écologie).
Les Chirurgiens de la Marine française : des « acteurs vecteurs » de la circulation des savoirs médicaux entre la France et le Rio de la Plata (1838-1852)
Authors: González Salazar Nancy , Théré Christine
Published: December 2020

Le parcours effectué par six chirurgiens de la Marine française dans le Rio de la Plata au cours du blocus de Buenos Aires et de la Guerra Grande est le fil conducteur par le biais duquel cet article cherche à mettre en exergue la réalité médicale de la Plata au cours de ces années de lutte politique, telle qu’elle a été appréhendée par des membres d’un corps médical étranger. Les observations de ces chirurgiens, ayant donné lieu à la rédaction de thèses doctorales se situant à mi-chemin entre les topographies médicales et le rapport médical de fin de campagne qu’il était de leur devoir de rendre à la fin de leur séjour, placent la climatologie au cœur de leurs travaux. Mais elles rendent compte, également, des liens tissés entre ces individus et le corps médical local et la société civile, dévoilant ainsi ce qu’étaient les divers échanges médicaux résultant de leur séjour dans la Plata.
L’explication de texte et ses avatars : des exercices en tension dans les programmes
Authors: Perret Laetitia
Published: December 2020

Cet article interroge l’origine des tensions à l’œuvre dans la lecture analytique. Il adopte une perspective historico-didactique et se limite aux textes officiels français parus depuis le milieu du xixe siècle. Il montre que ces tensions s’expliquent tout d’abord par l’approche méthodique des textes qui fonde l’exercice en 1880, ce qui a pour conséquences une lecture métatextuelle, une place importante accordée à la méthodologie et la méfiance à l’égard des impressions personnelles. Ensuite, il montre que ces tensions existent dans les programmes eux-mêmes qui déplorent une lecture standardisée, sans pour autant remettre en question l’approche métatextuelle dans un exercice qui s’est réifié. Enfin, il explique que tensions sont aussi liées, à partir des années 1980, aux reconfigurations des théories de référence qui sous-tendent l’exercice, et à la place qu’occupent alors les théories du sujet lecteur dans un exercice qui continue de se réclamer d’une approche méthodique.
Le noyau dur des pratiques d’enseignement de la poésie au secondaire québécois
Authors: Émery-Bruneau Judith
Published: December 2020

Nous avons observé des pratiques ordinaires d’enseignement de la poésie dans des classes du secondaire québécois (élèves de 12 à 17 ans) afin d’analyser les savoirs et les pratiques langagières qui constituent le noyau central de cet objet. Trois questions ont guidé nos analyses après avoir produit les synopsis de 10 séquences d’enseignement mises en place par les enseignants (composées de 3 à 13 séances, selon les cas). Quelles sont les trames prototypiques dans les pratiques d’enseignement de la poésie au secondaire québécois ? De quoi est constitué le noyau dur de cet enseignement ? Quels lecteurs de poésie forme-t-on ? Les résultats montrent que les pratiques d’enseignement actuelles de la poésie visent peu à faire vivre des expériences poétiques ; on cherche plutôt à transmettre et à faire pratiquer des savoirs techniques dans le but de les repérer dans les poèmes ou de les reproduire à l’écrit. Nous concluons par une invitation à penser à une didactique qui ne serait pas réduite qu’à la production de savoirs, mais qui serait aussi créatrice d’expériences.
