Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks for Modeling Dynamical Processes and Predictive Control: A Hybrid Physics-Informed Approach
Authors: Zarzycki Krzysztof , Ławryńczuk Maciej
Published: November 2023

This work has two objectives. Firstly, it describes a novel physics-informed hybrid neural network (PIHNN) model based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network. The presented model structure combines the first-principle process description and data-driven neural sub-models using a specialized data fusion block that relies on fuzzy logic. The second objective of this work is to detail a computationally efficient model predictive control (MPC) algorithm that employs the PIHNN model. The validity of the presented modeling and MPC approaches is demonstrated for a simulated polymerization reactor. It is shown that the PIHNN structure gives very good modeling results, while the MPC controller results in excellent control quality.
Ascorbic Acid in Seeds, Priming and Beyond
Authors: Terzaghi Mattia , De Tullio Mario C.
Published: November 2023

Ascorbic acid (AsA) is mainly known as an antioxidant. However, if the peculiar features of the AsA system in the different stages of seed development and germinationare taken into consideration, it can be concluded that the function of AsA goes far beyond its antioxidant properties. The possible involvement of AsA in the regulation of hormone synthesis and in the epigenetic control of gene expression opens new directions to further research. In recent years, seed priming with AsA has been successfully used as a strategy to improve germination and plant productivity. Beneficial effects of seed AsA priming could be observed in several crop species, but the underlying molecular mechanism(s) are still unclear. The available evidence suggests that AsA priming induces a wide range of coordinated responses allowing primed seeds to overcome adverse environmental conditions.

Authors: Zhang Xiaoyi , Li Xinnuo , Antwi Collins Opoku , Huang Baozhen , Ren Jun
Published: November 2023

China has been successful in getting her people to live longer. But, merely adding years to life and not life to years poses immense socio-economic challenges. However, not much is known about the effects of government policy and program interventions on changes in how well the elderly live over the years. Accordingly, we cross-temporally meta-analyzed 45 research reports (N = 36,352) that utilized the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scale (SF-36) from 2000 to 2020. We found that: (1) the bodily pain, general health, vitality, and mental health of the elderly deteriorated over time; however, their physical and emotional roles, as well as their social functioning, improved with time; (2) the rising dependency ratio impoverished the HRQoL of the elderly; (3) the HRQoL indicators of the elderly revealed positive gains under the home-based care model whilst they showed a downward trend under the institutional pension model; (4) the HRQoL indicators of the elderly in economically developed areas produced mixed results; but, they all worsened over the years in economically underdeveloped areas. Thus, more investment efforts from the government and private entities are needed to reduce the dependency ratio and to improve the lives of the elderly under institutional care and/or in economically underdeveloped areas.
Research on Appearance Detection, Sorting, and Regrouping Technology of Retired Batteries for Electric Vehicles
Authors: Liu Fengdan , Chen Jiangyi , Qin Dongchen , Wang Tingting
Published: November 2023

The rapid proliferation of electric vehicle adoption has brought about significant changes in energy consumption patterns, but improper disposal of retired batteries poses new challenges to the environment. In order to promote the sustainable development of the industry using retired batteries, this paper focuses on the research on retired battery appearance detection, sorting, and regrouping technologies. Firstly, the standards for retired battery appearance detection are analyzed, and a method of acquiring battery appearance features through two-stage image acquisition is proposed. Machine vision is employed to achieve the appearance filtering of retired batteries, overcoming the shortcomings of manual screening. For the filtered batteries, capacity, internal resistance, and open-circuit voltage are determined as indicators. Analytic hierarchy process and Gray relation analysis are employed for classification based on four application scenarios. Additionally, an improved Gaussian mixture model clustering algorithm is proposed. In the recombination process, the algorithm parameters are adaptively adjusted for each battery category. Experimental results demonstrate that the accuracy of battery appearance filtering exceeds 97%, and the improved algorithm effectively enhances the consistency among batteries. Compared to the baseline algorithm, the performance consistency of regrouping batteries is increased by more than 5%.
Impact of Foreign Enterprises’ Capital Inflow on Urbanization Factors: Evidence from Northeastern Cities of China
Authors: Abu Risha Omar , Wang Qingshi , Alhussam Mohammed Ismail
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the impact of foreign capital inflow and the number of contracted foreign direct investment projects on urbanization. The study focused on the less-explored provinces of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang, covering the period from 2007 to 2021. The definition of urbanization was expanded to include three elements: the urbanized labor force, emission and pollution levels, and the productivity of services in the economy. Most importantly, an urbanization index was generated to estimate the total effect of foreign capital investment on sustainable green urbanization. The analysis employs both random and fixed effects regression models, complemented by robustness checks using the generalized least squares (GLS) method. The findings indicate that while foreign capital investments contribute positively to labor urbanization and service productivity, they have a notably adverse impact on environmental quality in the examined cities. Moreover, our findings confirm an overall inverse relationship between foreign capital investment and the urbanization index: the negative impact is primarily driven by inadequate procedures for emissions control in the northeastern Chinese cities. In conclusion, this research provides insights and strategic recommendations for promoting sustainable green urbanization.

Published: November 2023

Increasing digitalization in animal farming, commonly addressed as Precision Livestock Farming (PLF), offers benefits in terms of productivity, sustainability, reduced labor and improved monitoring of animal welfare. However, the large amounts of collected data must be stored, processed and evaluated in a proper way. In practice, challenges of continuous and exact data collection can arise, e.g., from air pollutants like dust occluding cameras and sensors, degrading material, the ever-present commotion caused by animals, workers and machines, regularly required maintenance or weak signal transmission. In this study, we analyzed the quality of multi-source spatio-temporal data from a broiler house with 8100 birds over a period of 31 months collected by the Farmer Assistant System (FAS). This is a ceiling-suspended robot equipped with several sensors and cameras that continuously collect data while moving through the barn. The data analysis revealed numerous irregularities: missing values, outliers, repetitive measurements, systematic errors, and temporal and spatial inconsistencies. About 40–50% of all records collected with the early version of the FAS had to be sorted out. The newer version of FAS provided cleaner data, although still about 10–20% of the data had to be removed. Our study has shown that where sophisticated technological systems meet a challenging environment, a thorough and critical review of data completeness and quality is crucial to avoid misinterpretation. The pipeline developed here is designed to help developers and farmers detect failures in signal processing and localize the problem in the hardware components. Scientists, industrial developers and farmers should work more closely together to develop new PLF technologies to more easily advance digitization in agriculture.
How to Capture Place Identity Contents? A Tool for Planning Interventions
Authors: Bernardo Fátima , Loupa-Ramos Isabel , Coelho Rosa
Published: November 2023

Research into place identity has mainly focused on its intensity rather than its contents. Place identity measurement is relatively mature, and the scales have been used in many literatures. However, the contents of place identity are rarely addressed, and if so, only in qualitative studies, constraining comparative studies. Thus, the purpose of the current paper was to develop a measure of place identity contents that elucidates the dimensions that contribute most to place identity in different urban contexts. The three studies described here developed and implemented a place identity contents scale. The scale was designed and validated amongst a sample of 422 residents in Study 1, with the identification of an eight-factor structure consistent with the literature review. Study 2 replicated the factor structure and confirmed correlations with place identity, place satisfaction and quality of life in the place. Study 3 explored the applicability of the PIC scale in a field study investigating three parishes that differed significantly in their physical and social features. Overall, the results suggest that place identity is a flexible and dynamic process and that, in order to form a bond with a place, people make use of those available features (both physical and social) that better contribute to a positive place identity. The results also suggest which place identity contents better favor identification and may, therefore, contribute to improving the quality of places and human well-being.
How Activated Carbon Can Help You—Processes, Properties and Technological Applications
Authors: Scholz Miklas
Published: November 2023

Activated carbon has many potential applications in both the liquid and gas phases. How activated carbon can help practitioners in industry is explained. This practical teaching article introduces the first part of the special issue on Recent Advances in Applied Activated Carbon Research by providing a handbook explaining the basic applications, technologies, processes, methods and material characteristics to readers from different backgrounds. The aim is to improve the knowledge and understanding of the subject of activated carbon for non-adsorption experts such as professionals in industry. Therefore, it is written in a comprehensible manner and dispenses with detailed explanations to complex processes and many background references. This handbook does not claim to be complete and concentrates only on the areas that are of practical relevance for most activated carbon applications. Activated carbon and its activation and reactivation are initially explained. Adsorption and relevant processes are outlined. The mechanical, chemical and adsorption properties of activated carbon are explained. The heart of the handbook outlines key application technologies. Other carbonaceous adsorbents are only introduced briefly. The content of the second part of the special issue is highlighted at the end.
A Direct Analysis of β-N-methylamino-l-alanine Enantiomers and Isomers and Its Application to Cyanobacteria and Marine Mollusks
Authors: Metcalf James S. , Banack Sandra Anne , Wyatt Peter B. , Nunn Peter B. , Cox Paul A.
Published: November 2023

Of the wide variety of toxic compounds produced by cyanobacteria, the neurotoxic amino acid β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) has attracted attention as a result of its association with chronic human neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer’s. Consequently, specific detection methods are required to assess the presence of BMAA and its isomers in environmental and clinical materials, including cyanobacteria and mollusks. Although the separation of isomers such as β-amino-N-methylalanine (BAMA), N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine (AEG) and 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (DAB) from BMAA has been demonstrated during routine analysis, a further compounding factor is the potential presence of enantiomers for some of these isomers. Current analytical methods for BMAA mostly do not discriminate between enantiomers, and the chiral configuration of BMAA in cyanobacteria is still largely unexplored. To understand the potential for the occurrence of D-BMAA in cyanobacteria, a chiral UPLC-MS/MS method was developed to separate BMAA enantiomers and isomers and to determine the enantiomeric configuration of endogenous free BMAA in a marine Lyngbya mat and two mussel reference materials. After extraction, purification and derivatization with N-(4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)-l-phenylalanine 2-methoxyethyl ester ((S)-NIFE), both L- and D-BMAA were identified as free amino acids in cyanobacterial materials, whereas only L-BMAA was identified in mussel tissues. The finding of D-BMAA in biological environmental materials raises questions concerning the source and role of BMAA enantiomers in neurological disease.
Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms Underlying Neurologic Manifestations of Mosquito-Borne Flavivirus Infections
Authors: Blackhurst Britanie M. , Funk Kristen E.
Published: November 2023

Flaviviruses are a family of enveloped viruses with a positive-sense RNA genome, transmitted by arthropod vectors. These viruses are known for their broad cellular tropism leading to infection of multiple body systems, which can include the central nervous system. Neurologic effects of flavivirus infection can arise during both acute and post-acute infectious periods; however, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying post-acute sequelae are not fully understood. Here, we review recent studies that have examined molecular and cellular mechanisms that may contribute to neurologic sequelae following infection with the West Nile virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, Zika virus, dengue virus, and St. Louis encephalitis virus. Neuronal death, either from direct infection or due to the resultant inflammatory response, is a common mechanism by which flavivirus infection can lead to neurologic impairment. Other types of cellular damage, such as oxidative stress and DNA damage, appear to be more specific to certain viruses. This article aims to highlight mechanisms of cellular damage that are common across several flavivirus members and mechanisms that are more unique to specific members. Our goal is to inspire further research to improve understanding of this area in the hope of identifying treatment options for flavivirus-associated neurologic changes.

HIV infection impairs host immunity, leading to progressive disease. An anti-retroviral treatment efficiently controls viremia but cannot completely restore the immune dysfunction in HIV-infected individuals. Both host and viral factors determine the rate of disease progression. Among the host factors, innate immunity plays a critical role; however, the mechanism(s) associated with dysfunctional innate responses are poorly understood among HIV disease progressors, which was investigated here. The gene expression profiles of TLRs and innate cytokines in HIV-infected (LTNPs and progressors) and HIV-uninfected individuals were examined. Since the progressors showed a dysregulated TLR-mediated innate response, we investigated the role of TLR agonists in restoring the innate functions of the progressors. The stimulation of PBMCs with TLR3 agonist-poly:(I:C), TLR7 agonist-GS-9620 and TLR9 agonist-ODN 2216 resulted in an increased expression of IFN-α, IFN-β and IL-6. Interestingly, the expression of IFITM3, BST-2, IFITM-3, IFI-16 was also increased upon stimulation with TLR3 and TLR7 agonists, respectively. To further understand the molecular mechanism involved, the role of miR-155 was explored. Increased miR-155 expression was noted among the progressors. MiR-155 inhibition upregulated the expression of TLR3, NF-κB, IRF-3, TNF-α and the APOBEC-3G, IFITM-3, IFI-16 and BST-2 genes in the PBMCs of the progressors. To conclude, miR-155 negatively regulates TLR-mediated cytokines as wel l as the expression of host restriction factors, which play an important role in mounting anti-HIV responses; hence, targeting miR-155 might be helpful in devising strategic approaches towards alleviating HIV disease progression.

Authors: Ahiawodzi Peter D. , Nicholson Cydney , Williams Briana , Thompson Dorothea K.
Published: November 2023

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) constitute a major public health issue in the United States. North Carolina (NC) in the southeastern U.S. ranks among the highest in STI incidence. We aimed to describe the incidence rates and identify potential risk factors of STIs in NC. The STI data reported by the NC Department of Health and Human Services for 2018 were compiled for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV infections for all 100 NC counties. Linear regression modeling was used to assess the association of STIs with predefined county-level variables. The mean STI incidence rates per 100,000 persons were highest for chlamydia (592.43 ± 30.02), followed by gonorrhea (212.06 ± 13.75), HIV (12.66 ± 0.947), and syphilis (3.33 ± 0.439). For chlamydia, higher risk was significantly associated with income (β = −0.008, SE = 0.003; p = 0.006), education (some college; β = 10.02, SE = 3.15, p = 0.002), race (Black; β = 12.17, SE = 1.57, p < 0.0001), and number of truck stops (β = 20.20, SE = 6.75, p = 0.004). The same variables, except for education, were associated with higher gonorrhea risk. Only race (being Black) was significantly associated with higher syphilis risk. Racial disparities in STI burden were significant, with race (being Black) constituting a risk factor for all four STIs. Interventions targeted to identified risk factors may help to reduce the STI burden in NC.

Turismo de Pesca e Comunidades Ribeirinhas na Amazônia: reflexões sobre a categoria “águas de trabalho”
Authors: Santos Mayra Laborda , Scherer Elenise Faria
Published: November 2023

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a categoria águas de trabalho no contexto do turismo de pesca realizado por comunidades ribeirinhas na Amazônia. Nesse intento, conduziu-se uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico focando nos estudos voltados à compreensão do modus vivendi ribeirinho e à relevância da água nesse contexto. Além disso, foi feita uma análise documental nos diários de campo de uma das autoras, que estudou experiências de turismo em cerca de cem comunidades amazônicas, entre 2016 e 2023. A síntese que se pode estabelecer é que a categoria águas de trabalho, inicialmente pensada para descrever o ambiente aquático no qual se realiza a pesca de autossustento, é potencialmente ampliável para entender e comportar a dinâmica da pesca esportiva em comunidades ribeirinhas. Embora majoritariamente a pesca esportiva nos territórios tradicionais seja forjada com objetivos econômicos concentrados, visando maximização de lucros e mercantilização da natureza, busca, simultaneamente, benefícios coletivos e solidários, como a manutenção de lagos comunitários, perpetuação de saberes ribeirinhos e organização para a defesa do território. Ademais, a pesca esportiva é uma atividade presente em diversas comunidades amazônicas e não pode ser deixada de lado na análise sobre a relação dos ribeirinhos com as águas.
Geoparque Capixaba: proposta Geoturística para o Espírito Santo

Published: November 2023

A grave crise sanitária global de 2020 impactou a economia em todos os setores da economia, mas o turismo foi um dos mais prejudicados devido à imposição de confinamento pela OMS. Após quase três anos de pandemia o governo e o setor privado buscam reconstruir estas redes produtivas com o incentivo ao turismo, para que este setor volte aos patamares de consumo pré pandemia. O estudo tem relevante importância para o segmento turístico do Espírito Santo, pois propõe a criação do Geoparque Capixaba, para um estado que não tem tradição de estar nas rotas turísticas de destaque em território brasileiro, ainda que possua uma geodiversidade ímpar e um geopatrimônio a ser descoberto. É importante referir que um geoparque é um território com apelo turístico diferenciado mas assente na geodiversidade, voltado para a sustentabilidade e para o desenvolvimento das comunidades locais. Assim, o objetivo principal do estudo é apresentar a proposta de uma área definida pelos limites de treze municípios do estado, que retrate a destacada geodiversidade Capixaba. O geoparque tem interesse em mostrar a geodiversidade do litoral, marcado por praias de areias monazíticas, até à imponente região de relevo serrano e montanhoso na porção oeste do estado, representada pelas mais curiosas geoformas graníticas, como o “Frade”, a “Freira” e a Pedra Azul. A pesquisa utilizou como método a abordagem qualitativa de caráter exploratório, com foco na pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, além da pesquisa in loco. Buscou-se identificar o panorama atual dos projetos de geoparques no Brasil, mostrar a situação do segmento turístico estadual, identificar a geodiversidade e o geopatrimônio existente na área proposta, selecionando alguns geossítios. Os resultados confirmam que não existe processo de proposta de criação de geoparque no estado, mas que existe importante potencial, tanto do ponto de vista da geodiversidade e das paisagens naturais, quanto do fluxo turístico. A princípio se propõem treze geossítios, classificados pela temática geomorfológica, petrológica, sedimentológica e espeleológica, entre outras características que lhe conferem importância turística. Claro que até uma proposta final que atenda aos critérios para um aspirante a Geoparque Mundial da UNESCO, muito tem a ser feito, principalmente em termos de articulações políticas e científicas. Espera-se que a proposta do Geoparque Capixaba sirva de motivação e incentivo para o seu aprimoramento e proposição final como aspirante a Geoparque Mundial da UNESCO, ou para novas propostas de geoparques no estado.
Quanto Vale Bonito (MS): a contribuição da conservação florestal para a economia regional
Authors: Spanholi Maira Luiza , Young Carlos Eduardo Frickmann
Published: November 2023

O município de Bonito é destino turístico de natureza destacado no Brasil, com localização geográfica às margens da Serra da Bodoquena, conta com verdadeiros santuários de vegetais, animais, rios cristalinos e vistas singulares. A existência dessas áreas naturais proporciona desenvolvimento econômico sustentável pra a região. O trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar a importância da conservação florestal para o turismo de natureza e outros benefícios socioeconômicos da microrregião de Bonito (MS). Para isso, foi efetuado um exercício de valoração desses benefícios de acordo com metodologias presentes na literatura de Economia do Meio Ambiente e contrasta-se com os benefícios associados ao desmatamento, que apresenta tendência crescente na microrregião e constitui ameaça aos atrativos naturais que tornaram Bonito um polo de turismo de natureza. O turismo em Bonito tem grande representatividade nos empregos formais da região e elevam o PIB municipal. Mas essa atividade está ameaçada pela pressão da conversão de área de vegetação nativa para áreas agropecuárias, já que a perda de vegetação na região (Bonito, Jardim e Bodoquena) apenas entre 2019 e 2020 foi de 1,9 mil hectares, o que significa um incremento de erosão do solo de mais de 20 mil toneladas/ano e emissões entre 213 mil e 354 mil toneladas de CO2 e caso optasse por recuperar essa vegetação perdida, seriam gastos mais de R$38 milhões com todas as despesas necessárias para a reposição da floresta. Os ganhos estimados com a expansão da fronteira agrícola pelo desmatamento não são superiores aos ganhos de manter os remanescentes florestais que possibilitam o turismo, já que a existência do meio ambiente equilibrado propicia para Bonito o desenvolvimento de diversas atividades relacionadas ao turismo de natureza. A visitação em Bonito tem um impacto econômico que varia de R$130,78 milhões a R$368,2 milhões. Essa visitação também é importante para a arrecadação tributária municipal através do ISSQN e quando se associa essa arrecadação com o ICMS ecológico, que é oriundo das áreas protegidas existentes em Bonito, representam uma parcela significativa da receita municipal, em 2019, esse valor foi de 12% da receita municipal. A perda de remanescentes florestais pode ser vantajosa privadamente, mas as perdas com serviços ecossistêmicos, colocam em risco a base de sustentação do modelo de desenvolvimento que trouxe para Bonito capacidade de geração de renda, empregos e tributos maior do que municípios que não dispõe do mesmo potencial turístico.

Published: November 2023

Introdução. Os coletivos culturais são espaços sociais de acolhimento e segurança no qual os jovens possuem, através da interação entre si, inserida na promoção da arte e da cultura, a possibilidade de exercerem suas individualidades e se desenvolverem. Objetivo. Conhecer o processo e as implicações da formação e do funcionamento de um coletivo cultural localizado na periferia da cidade de São Paulo, bem como suas consequências no desenvolvimento no enfrentamento da desigualdade social. Método. Através de uma pesquisa qualitativa, a coleta dos dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 7 jovens participantes de um coletivo cultural. As entrevistas foram submetidas à análise temática de conteúdo. Resultados. Os resultados revelam a expressiva contribuição da escola na instituição do coletivo cultural. Para estes jovens, o coletivo cultural é um importante espaço de socialização, desenvolvimento e fomento do seu protagonismo, contribuindo para a transformação social por meio da poesia e da música. Além disso, possui grande importância para a comunidade na qual está inserido, diante da escassez na oferta de atividades culturais e sociais. Conclusões. Os coletivos culturais podem ser importantes caminhos para o desenvolvimento destes jovens ao proporcionar a possibilidade de superação e a transformação de suas realidades por meio da arte. Neste sentido, é importante que se realizem pesquisas que permitam a observação e acompanhamento destes coletivos, o que pode ampliar os entendimentos sobre a dinâmica das relações e as condições para a instituição e sustentação de coletivos comprometidos com a transformação da sociedade.

Communiquer avec d’autres, les comprendre et se faire comprendre, transmettre l’information précise de manière à ce qu’elle soit justement perçue, n’est pas chose si facile et oblige souvent à effectuer un certain nombre d’approches et à franchir un certain nombre d’obstacles.

Quand ces approches et ces obstacles se jouent entre personnes issues d’enracinements culturels étrangers les uns aux autres, ne parlant pas la même langue, situées différemment dans la hiérarchie de l’échelle sociale, perçues dès l’abord à travers les fonctions qu’elles occupent ou les catégories où elles sont classées... alors, ces problèmes de communication peuvent devenir singulièrement complexes. C’est exactement ce qui se passe aujourd’hui en France, en ce qui concerne des relations touchant des millions de personnes, étrangers venus travailler en France souvent accompagnés de leurs familles, agents français chargés de fonctions d’accueil, de formation, d’insertion, de promotion de cette population étrangère au sein de la société française.

Mme Denise Harding-Saint-Jacques a, pour un Centre de Formation Permanente de Paris, spécialisé dans les stages pour le personnel des entreprises et les cadres étrangers, assuré la formation linguistique de deux groupes de réfugiés du Sud-Est asiatique.

Ces stages rémunérés se situaient en 1977. Ils comprenaient trois mois de mise à niveau en français et six mois de formation technique de montage-câblage en électronique, avec placement assuré à la sortie. Le premier stage a concerné 15 personnes, le second une dizaine.

Les six heures quotidiennes de formation linguistique ont permis à Mme Harding de bien connaître les réfugiés : elle est même restée en relations avec certains d’entre eux après le stage et en a connu d’autres. Elle nous les présente brièvement et nous parle de leurs problèmes de travail professionnel.
Étude du thème de Jugurtha dans une classe de collège (5e)
Authors: Carpentier-Thomelet Catherine
Published: November 2023

Selon les instructions officielles, les professeurs de français doivent initier leurs élèves de cinquième au latin et au grec.

J'enseignais dans un collège de la banlieue parisienne, dans une classe de cinquième où les enfants étrangers étaient nombreux : Algériens et Portugais surtout, mais aussi Laotiens, Italiens... Il y avait une dizaine d'enfants français dans la classe.

Enfants dans l'ensemble «faibles en tout», qu'apparemment les exercices scolaires habituels n'intéressaient pas et qui étaient, semble-t-il, destinés à faire des études courtes -et, à coup sûr, des études sans langues anciennes. Mais j’étais décidée à ne pas priver ces élèves de l'initiation au latin et au grec.
Créer son matériel pédagogique et/ou utiliser un matériel standard
Authors: Deutsch Evelyne , Mor Alain
Published: November 2023

Le souci permanent des formateurs chargés de l'enseignement du français aux travailleurs étrangers a toujours été de trouver un (des) appui(s) pédagogique(s).

Formés ou non, les formateurs en présence de leur groupe de travailleurs étrangers, le plus souvent de niveaux différents, aux motivations différentes, cherchent désespérément méthodes, outils, textes, aides audio-visuelles, documents authentiques, etc., qui leur permettraient d'être à la fois plus efficaces et plus à l'aise dans leurs cours.

Or, que se passe-t-il généralement ?

Ou bien les formateurs adoptent une méthode, et celle-ci a été élaborée pour un, et un seul, type de public dans une situation de formation donnée (et les formateurs se trouvent rarement dans le cas de figure impliqué par la méthode) ou bien ils se dispersent dans une multitude d'outils variés – et parfois contradictoires ! – dont la manipulation leur pose quelques problèmes.

La préformation à temps plein des migrants
Authors:   ADEP
Published: November 2023

La formation professionnelle des Migrants, fait l'objet de nombreuses études et de réflexions notamment à propos de l 'aménagement des structures de la préformation. C'est ainsi qu'en 1980 la Direction de la Population et des Migrations, avec l'aide du F.A.S. et de la direction générale de l'Emploi et des Affaires Sociales de la Commission des Communautés Européennes, a mis en place un groupe de travail en vue de «définir des normes plus précises en matière de préformation, d'arrêter les conditions et modalités d'insertion progressive des cycles d'alphabétisation dans la préformation et de permettre une comparaison des actions diverses». Ce groupe de travail, composé de chercheurs désignés par l 'ADEP, l 'ITSRS, l'AFPA et le CREDIF, a produit, sous le titre - la Préformation à temps plein des Migrants - un document présentant d'une part l'état actuel des actions de préformation et d'autre part des propositions en vue de l 'amélioration de ce dispositif. Le texte qui suit est extrait de la première partie de ce rapport collectif et concerne plus spécialement le fonctionnement des actions de préformation.

Published: November 2023

La cité des 4 000 à la Courneuve, ses mornes barres de HLM, ne sont plus à décrire. Un groupe de jeunes de cette cité, français ou d'origine étrangère, a loué, par l'intermédiaire d'un Espagnol, un cinéma désaffecté situé dans le centre commercial de la Cité, en face du Centre Culturel géré par la municipalité. Leur but ?

Avoir une salle de spectacle où pourront se produire tous les samedis soirs des orchestres connus ou inconnus de jazz, rock, salsa, reggae ou bien des troupes de théâtre animant des spectacles suivis de débats -ouvrir des ateliers de musique pour les jeunes d’âge scolaire, en liaison avec certains professeurs des groupes scolaires concernés.

Leurs ressources ?

Pour l’instant, pas de subvention - Uniquement, la vente des billets d'entrée.

Le bazar et la nécessité. Soutien scolaire pour des élèves asiatiques
Authors: Tanh
Published: November 2023

Le soutien scolaire appliqué à de jeunes asiatiques pose des problèmes particuliers : insuffisante familiarité avec la langue du fait d'une arrivée récente, rapport propre au savoir et au travail scolaire, grande distance culturelle, fort investissement familial...

D’où cette interrogation empreinte d'un certain pessimisme sur l'efficacité réelle du soutien par rapport aux attentes des élèves et surtout peut-être des moniteurs.
