Face à l’inclusion scolaire
Authors: Issaieva Élisabeth , Scipion Rosette
Published: February 2020

À l’aube de l’école inclusive en France, des transformations importantes sont attendues dans le champ scolaire, tant sur le plan de la formation des enseignants que sur le terrain et la prise en charge des élèves. Dans ce contexte, on pourrait s’interroger sur les conditions (éventuels obstacles, freins, tensions, facilités) de la mise en place réelle de l’inclusion scolaire. C’est dans cette perspective que s’inscrit la présente recherche. Celle-ci vise précisément à cerner les conceptions et les pratiques des enseignants spécialisés et ordinaires en Guadeloupe, contexte caractérisé par une diversité culturelle et linguistique, particularités géographiques, climatiques et socio-économiques. La question est de savoir comment dans ces conditions particulières, les enseignants favorisent-ils l’inclusion scolaire ? Pour répondre à cette interrogation, un dispositif mixte (par questionnaire et observation filmée) à été mis en place permettant de faire des analyses comparatives des pratiques des enseignants spécialisés et ordinaires. Les résultats montrent que les conceptions et les pratiques des enseignants ordinaires et spécialisés se différencient sur un ensemble de démarches pédagogiques et didactiques ainsi que sur la perception des difficultés d’apprentissage. Les enseignants spécialisés font beaucoup plus appel à des gestes d’adaptation didactique que les enseignants ordinaires. Les besoins pédagogiques ne sont pas vraiment mis en avant chez l’enseignant ordinaire. Les enseignants ordinaires et spécialisés se rejoignent sur un certain nombre de points quand ils donnent les raisons des difficultés en Guadeloupe.
Évolution des politiques relatives à l’inclusion scolaire au Brésil et au Québec
Authors: Borri-Anadon Corina , Gonçalves Gustavo B. Bicalho , Russo Kelly
Published: February 2020

À partir d’une perspective sociohistorique de la comparaison, cette contribution propose une analyse comparative de politiques éducatives entre le Québec et le Brésil contribuant aux finalités de transformation sociale et d’équité de l’éducation inclusive. Une description des principales politiques éducatives associées aux différentes vagues du paradigme inclusif dans les deux contextes à l’étude est présentée. Conçues comme des interprétations locales de ces injonctions internationales, ces politiques témoignent de diverses tensions en matière de prise en compte de la diversité au sein de la formation du personnel scolaire. Ces tensions transversales sont révélatrices d’attentes et de contraintes communes et permettent de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de l’incidence des politiques inclusives sur la transformation du rôle de l’enseignant.
Utiliser les connaissances produites sur les dimensions cachées de l’activité pour former des enseignants inclusifs
Authors: Kheroufi-Andriot Olivier
Published: February 2020

Un chercheur, enseignant-formateur dans une École supérieure du professorat et de l’éducation (ESPE), a construit une situation de formation qui lui a permis d’analyser l’activité d’enseignants stagiaires du premier degré de l’enseignement français. Les résultats de cette analyse ont ensuite été comparés à ceux de sa recherche doctorale qui a pour objet l’analyse de l’activité d’accompagnement d’enseignants plus expérimentés confrontés à l’inclusion d’enfants en situation de handicap dans leur classe et leur établissement scolaire, et cette visée comparative lui permet de proposer une perspective pour former des enseignants inclusifs.
« Salle des maîtres », un effet négligé dans la transformation des pratiques
Authors: Gremion Lise , Granger Nancy , Gremion François
Published: February 2020

Dans un contexte où l’injonction à l’inclusion peine à se concrétiser, nos recherches nous ont rendus témoins du désarroi d’enseignants qui tentent de modifier les pratiques pour favoriser une école plus inclusive. S’inscrivant dans une approche ethnographique, notre écoute, de ce que disent ces enseignants de leurs difficultés relationnelles au quotidien de la salle des maîtres, nous a surpris par les similitudes des difficultés auxquelles ils font face à différents niveaux des systèmes scolaires suisses et québécois. Que ce soit d’un côté ou de l’autre de l’Atlantique, trois points de convergences émergent de l’analyse de nos entretiens : un sentiment d’isolement ; l’utilisation de stratégies de protection des liens professionnels et l’impact du leadership de la direction sur la culture du lieu scolaire.
La pédagogie immersive au Canada face à la mondialisation
Authors: Yamutuale Désiré
Published: February 2020

Cette étude examine les conditions sous-jacentes que rencontrent sept pédagogues opérant en immersion française en Ontario pendant cette période de la mondialisation caractérisée par des mouvements migratoires concourant à l’hybridation des sociétés jadis solidement homogènes. Pour ce faire, les théories psycho et sociolinguistiques permettent d’apprécier les pratiques pédagogiques exemplaires et susceptibles à créer un environnement propice au développement harmonieux et respectueux de nos sociétés de plus en plus cosmopolites. Cette étude se fonde sur l’analyse critique du curriculum ontarien, les observations des salles de classe des participants ainsi que les entrevues effectuées avec eux.
L’inclusion des élèves au profil socioaffectif défavorable en EPS
Authors: Mougenot Lucie
Published: February 2020

L’enseignement au quotidien montre à quel point les relations interpersonnelles sont importantes pour le développement et l’apprentissage (Flament, 1965) et peuvent nuire à la cohésion socioaffective, à l’inclusion et à la progression de certains. Cette contribution propose de porter un regard sur les relations socioaffectives entre élèves et leur impact sur les interactions. Pour cela, deux études qui se déroulent en classe d’éducation physique et sportive (EPS) sont présentées : l’une porte sur cinq classes en basketball et l’autre sur deux classes en danse. Cette discipline scolaire a la particularité de susciter des interactions verbales et motrices entre les élèves, en s’appuyant largement sur des pratiques collectives. Nous proposons de montrer en quoi l’outil sociométrique (Moreno, 1970) peut être employé de façon pertinente par les enseignants pour cartographier les réseaux affinitaires au sein d’une classe et identifier les élèves exclus ou ignorés afin d’y apporter une attention particulière et favoriser leur inclusion scolaire, en particulier dans des pratiques de coopération.
Comment former des enseignants inclusifs en Outre-mer ?
Authors: Prax-Dubois Pascale
Published: February 2020

Dans une perspective comparative de la didactique des langues et du plurilinguisme dans les Départements-Régions d’Outre-mer et dans les établissements scolaires d’enseignement français à l’étranger (AEFE), nous rapportons les résultats d’une enquête qualitative (2011-2016) conduite dans deux classes préélémentaires et deux classes élémentaires en REP +, à La Réunion. L’étude montre que les enseignants forgent leurs politiques linguistiques éducatives et mettent en place une didactique personnelle à partir d’un questionnement variant selon les contextes et leur propre agentivité. Elle montre également l’impact positif de la collaboration de l’école avec son environnement sur la déconstruction des mécanismes de reproduction des inégalités sociales. L’article conclut sur la priorité d’accompagner l’autoformation des enseignants en les initiant à la recherche ethnographique et à la conscience critique du langage, dans le cadre d’une recherche-action participative (RAP) ayant pour finalité la construction d’une culture langagière commune, à resituer au sein d’une éducation aux principes démocratiques, à la complexité et à la diversité.
Esquisse d’une théorie politique de l’image proliférante à destination des éducateurs
Authors: Maillet Évald
Published: February 2020

Quelle théorie politique pour penser les enjeux d’une éducation à l’image d’aujourd’hui ? Quels concepts, quelles analyses pour outiller les futurs professeurs et personnels d’éducation ? Dans cet article à visée théorétique, nous nous attarderons en particulier sur la formalisation du problème que pose notre pratique quotidienne de l’image-son en termes de vivre-ensemble. L’image-son – l’art cinématographique par exemple – est le moyen d’une forme de lien entre nous propice à la vie démocratique. L’éducateur ne saurait confondre ce lien avec le liant que rend possible la « vision sans regard » de simples visibilités n’ayant plus d’images que le nom. Avec la visite de quelques classes de cours moyens, nous interrogerons les capacités de l’institution scolaire à distinguer, en la matière, le bon grain de l’ivraie.
Notation en français et en mathématiques en cycle 3
Authors: De Bosscher Sabine , Fournier Vanessa , Carton Laurent
Published: February 2020

L’objectif de l’étude est de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de l’influence des représentations sexuées des enseignant-e-s sur la notation des élèves. Des enseignant-e-s d’école primaire ont évalué les mêmes copies portant un prénom féminin ou masculin, en français (discipline perçue comme féminine) et en mathématiques (comme masculine) Les résultats montrent que, contrairement aux études antérieures, aucune différence n’est significative en mathématiques. En français, ils montrent une complicité de genre : les enseignantes évaluent de manière plus favorable les élèves filles. Ces résultats sont mis en perspective avec ceux d’études antérieures et la question plus générale de l’évaluation des compétences.
Les modèles explicatifs de causalité de la beta-thalassémie majeure
Authors: Barouni Manel , Aroua Saïda , Mellouli Fethi , Bejaoui Mohamed , Abbes Salem
Published: February 2020

Dans une perspective didactique d’amélioration de la qualité de prise en charge des patients souffrants d’une hémoglobinopathie, la présente étude est un premier jalon d’une démarche d’éducation à la bêta-thalassémie majeure selon le modèle biopsychosocial holistique. Elle consiste à établir un diagnostic éducatif qui vise à identifier les conceptions que se font les thalassémiques par rapport à leur pathologie. Dans cette optique, la notion de « causalité » de la maladie représente un thème de réflexion important dont la caractérisation permet d’optimiser notre projet didactique à travers l’orientation des actions éducatives. Dans ce cadre, le présent article examine les logiques et les rationalités causales qui articulent les modèles explicatifs de la causalité de la bêta-thalassémie majeure. Il vise à déterminer les axes d’amélioration de connaissance et de compréhension d’une telle maladie héréditaire chronique. L’analyse des discours étiologiques par le biais d’entretiens qualitatifs auprès des malades atteints a fait émerger la réappropriation subjective d’un savoir relatif à la causalité de leur maladie mais qui se montre désorienté par rapport aux modèles explicatifs scientifiques et notamment biomédicaux. Cette recherche a abouti à une nécessité d’encadrer ces thalassémiques en matière de causalité de leur maladie. Un programme d’éducation pluridisciplinaire, prenant en considération ces distorsions cognitives pourra aider ces hémoglobinopathes à dépasser les obstacles ou les blocages qui influencent leur mode de raisonnement causal.

L’espace Baltique entre périls stratégiques et angoisses sécuritaires
Authors: Chillaud Matthieu
Published: February 2020

Il existe une profonde ambiguïté dans la construction de la sécurité dans la région de la mer Baltique. D’une part, la (re-) naissance de celle-ci, au tout début des années 1990, trouve son origine dans une volonté des Etats riverains d’assurer leur sécurité au-delà de la dimension militaire, alors que celle-ci était fondamentale durant l’époque de la Guerre froide, pour mieux associer la Russie. Cette sectorialisation de la sécurité, d’ailleurs relayée et théorisée avec force par des universitaires nordiques, n’a pas empêché, d’autre part, une certaine ténacité de la dimension politico-militaire de la sécurité. Ainsi, les démonstrations de puissance de la Russie dans la région, surtout depuis la guerre en Ukraine, ont pris une certaine ampleur tandis que l’OTAN, désormais largement présente en mer Baltique a décidé de déployer sur une base rotative des forces armées dans les trois pays baltes et en Pologne.
L’île de Gotland. Clé de la mer Baltique
Authors: Wedin Lars
Published: February 2020

L’île suédoise de Gotland occupe une place stratégique importante au milieu de la mer Baltique. Elle jouait un rôle très important pour le commerce de la région au début de notre ère. Son temps de grandeur se termine avec son annexion par les Danois en 1361. Pendant la Guerre froide, l’île servait comme un point fort pour la défense suédoise. Quant « la paix éternelle » débuta après la libération des pays baltes occupés par l’Union soviétique, le gouvernement supprima toutes ses installations de défense. Lorsque la Russie redevint de plus en plus agressive, notamment après son occupation de la Crimée, Gotland fut à nouveau au cœur de la stratégie de la région. Le risque existe que la Russie s’empare de Gotland pour y déployer le système anti-aérienne SA-400 afin d’établir une zone dite A2/AD ( Anti Access / Area Denial ou anti-accès/ interdiction de zone en français) dans la mer Baltique et ainsi isoler les pays baltes. L’île pourrait certainement être utile pour une stratégie offensive russe dans la région. Cependant, le SA-400 n’a pas la capacité de verrouiller la mer Baltique.
Un avant-poste stratégique : la raison d’être de Kaliningrad
Authors: Tétart Frank
Published: February 2020

Avec la dissolution de l’Union soviétique en 1991, le territoire de Kaliningrad, avant-poste stratégique sur la Baltique durant la Guerre froide est devenue une enclave russe entre Pologne et Lituanie, puis au sein de l’Union européenne au lendemain de leur adhésion en 2004. Or loin de profiter de cette configuration, Kaliningrad est resté un enjeu stratégique pour la Russie que l’annexion de la Crimée par la Russie en 2014 a en encore renforcé contribuant à une remilitarisation de l’oblast. En effet, cette crise a conduit à des déploiements des forces de l’OTAN dans les pays baltes en réponse à une présence de plus en plus forte des forces russes en Baltique, ainsi que le déploiement des missiles russes Iskander à Kaliningrad fin 2016. Ce déploiement montre que Kaliningrad redevient comme à l’époque de la Guerre froide un bastion militaire dans la région Baltique, devenue au cours de la décennie 2000 une «  mer européenne  » et presque exclusivement otanienne.
L’exclave de Kaliningrad comme problème pour la Russie et ses voisins
Authors: Oldberg Ingmar , Henrotin Joseph
Published: February 2020

La région de Kaliningrad est une enclave russe, coincée entre la Pologne et la Lituanie, de sorte que leur transit pose un problème pour les deux parties. La population demande une attention particulière à sa situation, mais cède à l’imposition par Moscou d’un contrôle fédéral strict. La petite taille et le manque de ressources de la région la rendaient initialement dépendante du commerce avec ses voisins, mais ces dernières années, elle est devenue totalement dépendante du soutien du gouvernement fédéral. Sous l’effet de la tension croissante entre la Russie et l’Occident après la guerre en Ukraine de 2014, la Russie a renforcé ses forces militaires à Kaliningrad et créé une zone de défense A2/AD, considérée comme une menace pour les États riverains de la mer Baltique. Même si la région est militairement exposée, elle est devenue un bastion militaire, comme à l’époque soviétique.
L’exercice militaire stratégique annuel Zapad : jeu cognitif au service de la stratégie russe

Les exercices militaires stratégiques annuels Zapad menés dans la région de la Baltique aux frontières de l’OTAN suscitent de nombreuses questions. Indicateurs de l’état des relations entre l’Occident et Moscou comme en témoigne l’édition 2017, ils mettent en scène des manœuvres dont l’ambiguïté est volontairement entretenue par la Russie à des fins stratégiques.
The Lived Experience of Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetes-Related Distress
Authors: Hernandez Lenore , Leutwyler Heather , Cataldo Janine , Kanaya Alka , Swislocki Arthur , Chesla Catherine
Published: February 2020

An older, more diverse population and longer lifespans are major contributors to the anticipated tripling of diabetes prevalence by 2050. Diabetes-related distress affects up to 40% of people with diabetes and may be a higher risk for older adults due to greater prevalence of comorbidities. The objective of the current phenomenological study was to describe how diabetes-related distress might be uniquely experienced by older adults (age ≥65) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Interpretive phenomenology guided the research design and analysis. Everyday life experiences of living with T2DM and elevated diabetes distress were investigated with interpretive interviews. The most prevalent lived experiences were strained relationships with health care providers, guilt, fear, loneliness, and forgetfulness. These experiences created challenges in managing diabetes and increased diabetes-related distress. Improving knowledge regarding the lived experience of older adults with diabetes-related distress may allow health care providers to tailor treatment to this population, thus improving outcomes. [

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Findings in Diffuse Unilateral Subacute Neuroretinitis
Authors: Lima Luiz H. , Melo Gustavo B. , Zett Claudio , Morais Fábio B. , Leal Bruno C. , Farah Michel E. , Belfort Rubens
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

To report a unique case series of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) patients imaged with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

In this retrospective case series, multimodal imaging was performed in four patients with DUSN at the time of patient visit. The study patients underwent standard clinical treatment for DUSN.

RESULTS:

The clinical findings were consistent with the diagnosis of DUSN. Cross-sectional OCT showed disruption of outer retinal layers in the foveal area and an irregular structure of the outer plexiform layer. En face OCT revealed hyperreflective spots and a large hyperreflective lesion in the foveal area correspondent to the outer retina disruption seen on cross-sectional OCT. OCTA demonstrated decreased vascular perfusion in both the superficial and deep retinal capillary plexuses along with choriocapillaris preservation.

CONCLUSION:

OCTA may provide a more detailed assessment of the retinal microvascular changes, allowing a more precise anatomical-functional correlation in DUSN.

Longitudinal Evaluation of the Development of Wedge-Shaped Subretinal Hyporeflectivity in Geographic Atrophy
Authors: Starace Vincenzo , Borrelli Enrico , Capuano Vittorio , Sacconi Riccardo , Bandello Francesco , Querques Giuseppe
Published: February 2020

The authors present the case of a 73-year-old woman affected by geographic atrophy (GA) in her left eye. During her follow-up, she developed a subretinal hyporeflective space visible on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. This peculiar OCT sign was recognized to represent a wedge-shaped subretinal hyporeflectivity (WSSH). In contrast to previous reports showing that WSSH develops during the flattening of drusenoid pigment epithelium detachment (PED), the authors found that the WSSH manifestation may be even consecutive to the regression of a large PED and consequent GA appearance. Therefore, the origin of this peculiar OCT finding could be more complex and variegated.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) in a Higher Education Project
Authors: Sohmen Victor S.
Published: February 2020

A Senior Design course in an urban Engineering Technology (ET) program was examined to propose an Accelerated Project-Based Learning (A-PBL) model, guided by three research questions: (1) What is the extent to which Self-directed Learning (SDL) skills were applied by final-year ET students using PBL, as determined quantitatively through the Self-directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS-A®)?; (2) How are Self-directed Learning (SDL) skills, Project Management (PM) efficiencies, and Change Leadership (CL) effectiveness applied in implementing ET capstone projects?; and, (3) What are the best practices to accelerate PBL by employing SDL skills, PM efficiencies, and CL effectiveness? This mixed-methodology research resulted in an accelerated PBL model geared to significant time, cost, and quality efficiencies in rapidly evolving, technological environments for optimal outcomes in 21st century higher education. The study concluded that this A-PBL model could also minimize the employment gap, fuel self-motivation, enable skill-building, and instill a deep commitment to lifelong learning.

The Impact of User Experience With Technology on Course Expectations
Authors: Elliott Lisa Jo
Published: February 2020

Technology seems to be here to stay and academics are encouraged to incorporate it into their classrooms. Yet, little has been written about the human side and how the widespread use of technology by students changes the expectations of their effort, the instructor's approach, satisfaction with the learning experience, and the students' ability to apply what they have learned to future coursework or their life. This chapter reports research that informs this topic, synthesizes the current literature as it pertains to technology and pedagogy, and correlates this information with what is known about the development of metacognition during learning in adults. The chapter ends with some helpful approaches.
A Study of the Antecedents of Game Engagement and the Moderating Effect of the Self-Identity of Collaboration
Authors: Choi Youngkeun
Published: February 2020

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationships between motivation factors and game engagement and explore the moderating effect of self-identity on those relationships. For this, the present study collected data from 228 college students in South Korean through a survey method and used hierarchical multiple regression analyses. In the results, first, the more competition, challenge, or social interaction participants pursue in gameplay, the more they are engaged in a game. Second, a positive relationship between social interaction and game engagement is stronger for participants in high rather than low in interdependent self-view. However, interdependent self-view was found to have no significance in the relationship between other motivators and game engagement. This study is the first one to examine the integral model of motivation factors of game engagement by including the moderating effect of self-identity.

Authors: Siddiqui Shadab , Darbari Manuj , Yagyasen Diwakar
Published: February 2020

Load balancing is a major research discipline in Cloud computing. The services are provided to users on pay as you go manner. Although a lot of algorithms have been proposed for load balancing, but performance is still an issue. The authors have proposed a new hybrid algorithm H_FAC to optimize the performance in cloud computing. The hybrid technique combines cuckoo search along with the Firefly algorithm of swarm intelligence. The benefit of using hybridization technique is that strength of one algorithm will overcome the shortcomings of other algorithms. Blockchain ID based Signature technique is used to ensure the authenticity of cloud service provider. The experimental results of H_FAC minimize the standard deviation, execution time significantly and improved throughput thereby optimizing the performance. The hybrid algorithm is also compared with other algorithms like ant colony optimization, artificial bee colony, round robin, FCFS and modified throttled. This approach helps the users to get the resources from authentic resource providers with a reduced execution time.

Published: February 2020

Predictive maintenance has the potential to improve the reliability of production and service provisioning. However, there is little knowledge about the proper implementation of predictive maintenance in research and practice. Therefore, we conducted a multi-case study and investigated underlying conditions and technological aspects for implementing a predictive maintenance system and where it leads to. We found that predictive maintenance initiatives are triggered by severe impacts of failures on revenue and profit. Furthermore, successful predictive maintenance initiatives require that pre-conditions are fulfilled: Data must be available and accessible. Very important is also the support by the management. We identified four factors important for the implementation of predictive maintenance. The integration of data is highly facilitated by Cloud-based mechanisms. The detection of events is enabled by advanced analytics. The execution of predictive maintenance operations is supported by data-driven process automation and visualization.
Preventing Collaborative Black Hole Attack in IoT Construction Using a CBHA–AODV Routing Protocol
Authors: Srinivas T. Aditya Sai , Manivannan S S Mani
Published: February 2020

Workers or labors who are working in construction sites are prone to severe risks such as death, injuries happened due to accidents, falls and stuck in between objects. Internet of things (IoT) based sensors can be utilized to monitor the behavior of workers when they are in danger zones/areas. To safeguard site workers, supervisors or site managers should monitor and alert them when they are in danger. Data will be routed from site worker to supervisor, during this routing process data is subjected to routing attacks such as black hole attack and so on, due to wireless transmission. This article addresses the problem of black hole attack that happens during the wireless transmission between nodes and the base station (BS) of IoT-based civil construction. The proposed solution Collaborative Black Hole Attack – Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing protocol (CBHA-AODV) prevents the collaborative black hole attack by 87.72%.
An Adaptive Service Monitoring System in a Cloud Computing Environment
Authors: Karthikeyan P.  , Sathiyamoorthy E.
Published: February 2020

Cloud computing is a trending area of information technology (IT). In a cloud environment, the Cloud service provider (CSP) provides all the functionalities to the users or customers in terms of services. With the rapid development of cloud computing, the performance of any cloud environment relies on the quality of services (QoS) at the time of providing the services. A service level agreement (SLA) increases the confidence of the user or customer to use the cloud services in a cloud environment. There should be negotiation between the CSP and users to achieve a strong SLA. Many existing SLA models are already developed. However, these models do not concentrate to maintain the quality in a long-time duration period. To solve this issue, a novel SLA model has been proposed in this article by using Fuzzy logic. Both the theoretical and simulation results show the proficiency of the proposed scheme over the existing schemes in a cloud computing environment.
A New Data Hiding Scheme Using Laplace Transformation in Frequency Domain Steganography
Authors: Chatterjee Ayan , Barik Nikhilesh
Published: February 2020

Today, in the age of wireless communication, network security is an important issue. Image steganography is a popular approach to make communication secure. Among two categories (spatial domain and frequency domain) of image steganography, frequency domain is more secured than the spatial domain. The proposed scheme develops a secret communication technique in frequency domain steganography. In steganography, the concept of Laplace transformation is used during embedding and extraction procedures of secret information in image files. As a result, all the conditions of information security are developed in high density. The efficiency and effectiveness of the scheme is evaluated by measuring the hacking chance from different statistical attacks by RS steganalysis and originality of actual cover image after inserting secret information by Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).

Published: February 2020

Under the influence of the action mechanism of the enterprise innovation atmosphere, a technological innovation ability has become the first choice for Chinese start-ups to improve their performance and upgrade their transformation. By collecting the survey data of 223 Chinese start-ups, this article uses the method of multiple hierarchical regression to explore the relationship between technological innovation ability, innovation atmosphere, and innovation performance. The results show that the technological innovation ability has a significantly positive influence on the innovation performance of the surveyed start-ups. At the same time, resource development ability, marketing ability, and learning ability all have significant positive effects on innovation performance. The innovation atmosphere is positively regulating the relationship between resource development capabilities, learning capabilities and innovation performance. The atmosphere of innovation negatively regulates the relationship between market capacity and innovation performance.

Abstract. Secondary aerosol is a major component of PM2.5, yet its formation mechanism in the ambient atmosphere is still an open question. Based on field measurements in downtown Beijing, we show that the photolysis of nitrous acid (HONO) could promote the formation of organic and nitrate aerosol in wintertime Beijing as evidenced by the growth of the mass concentration of organic and nitrate aerosols linearly increasing as a function of consumed HONO from early morning to noon. The increased nitrate also lead to the formation of particulate matter ammonium by enhancing the neutralization of nitric acid by ammonia. We further illustrate that over 50 % of the ambient HONO during pollution events in wintertime Beijing might be related to traffic-related emission including direct emission and formation via the reaction between OH and vehicle-emitted NO. Overall, our results highlight that the traffic-related HONO plays an important role in the oxidative capacity and in turn, contribute to the haze formation in winter Beijing. Mitigation of HONO and NOx emission from the vehicles might be an effective way to reduce secondary aerosol mass formation and severe haze events in wintertime Beijing.

Abstract. Representing the number and mass of cloud and aerosol particles independently in a climate, weather prediction or air quality model is important in order to simulate aerosol direct and indirect effects on radiation balance. Here we introduce the first configuration of the UK Met Office Unified Model in which both cloud and aerosol particles have double-moment representations with prognostic number and mass. The GLOMAP aerosol microphysics scheme, already used in the HadGEM3 climate configuration, is coupled to the CASIM cloud microphysics scheme. We demonstrate the performance of the new configuration in cloud-resolving simulations of a case study defined from the CLARIFY aircraft campaign in 2017 near Ascension Island in the tropical south Atlantic. We improve the physical basis of the activation scheme by representing the effect of existing cloud droplets on the activation of new aerosol, and we also attempt to account for the effect of unresolved vertical velocities. The first of these improvements should be applicable to the representation of aerosol activation in other microphysics schemes. While these changes lead only to a modest improvement in model performance, they reinforce our confidence in the ability of the model to simulate aerosol-cloud microphysical interactions. Capturing these interactions accurately is critical to simulating aerosol effects on climate.

In 1983, during the early years of what later became known as a “rash” of library school closings, two members of the LIS professorate declared that library schools were in crisis, marked in part by an imminent closing of the University of Minnesota's Library School. They further claimed that Minnesota's departure created a fearful and worrisome atmosphere among LIS professionals and that other programs might be at risk. If such claims were true, what was it about the Minnesota experience that caused such concern? This article looks at a transitional period in the life of the University of Minnesota Library School and suggests that the lack of any succession planning and a poorly executed search for a new program director contributed to the school's problems. This faulty search and attendant transitions provided evidence of administrative and political weaknesses within the school that were later amplified and exploited by others.
Violence Against Women in Sanaa Shalan’s Falling in the Sun

Violence against women is a heinous act committed against a woman, a wife, a mother, a sister, or even a daughter deliberately or not deliberately causing her psychological, emotional, and physical harm. The rise of this unhealthy phenomenon mainly in less-developed countries such as Jordan necessitates more academic attention not only because of its detrimental effect on the Jordanian women’s lives, but also because it is intentionally ignored and dismissed as taboo. With that, there has been a growing interest among Jordanian writers and sociologists in exploring the extent of this social ill through creative literary genres such as novels. This paper for one primarily examines the manifestations of violence against women in the Jordanian context through a textual analysis of Falling in the Sun by Sanaa Shalan, an author hailing from the contemporary Jordanian generation. Originally written in Arabic, this well-known novel gives prominence to the severe reality of the distress habitually suffered by many Jordanian women, notably the various forms of violence that they have to tolerate living in a multicultural male-controlled nation. With a feminist reading of Falling in the Sun (2014), we shall examine Shalan’s representations of violence against women in the novel as a dire social illness resulting from mistaken social beliefs, absence of laws, and misunderstanding of religion and gender inequality in the Jordanian society. Additionally, the current paper’s outline is constructed on three main forms of violence against women, i.e. physical, psychological and economic abuse as depicted in Falling in the Sun through the novel’s female characters, primarily the main protagonists.
The Impact of Credit Risk Management on the Profitability of a Commercial Bank: The Case of BGFI Bank Congo
Authors: Fred Nelson Ossou Ndzila
Published: February 2020

This study examines the impact of credit risk management on the profitability of BGFI Bank Congo, by identifying credit risk indicators and profitability measurement ratios over the period of 2010-2019. The results indicate that profitability is somewhat affected by credit risk management as measured by its credit risk management indicators. The non-performing loan ratio (NPLR), the capital assets ratio (CAR), and the loan loss provision ratio (LLPR) show a negative impact on ROE. These three ratios contribute negatively, while the CAR makes a positive contribution to Return on assets (ROA) and the ratio of client loans and short-term financing (RCLSTF) on return on equity (ROE). Thus, credit risk management has a significant impact on profitability. The study also shows that other selected credit risk management indicators have a significant impact on the Bank's profitability, such as the loan provision ratio (LLPR) and the clean capital adequacy ratio.

A DUPLA DISCRIMINAÇÃO DE GÊNERO NAS INTERAÇÕES TRABALHO-FAMÍLIA
Authors: Andrade Daphne de Emílio Circunde Vieira , Machado Priscila Martins Reis
Published: February 2020

O artigo tem como objetivo debater o papel atualmente ocupado pela mulher no mercado de trabalho frente ao do homem e o impacto das configurações do campo profissional na construção de novos modelos familiares. Para atingir essa finalidade, busca-se demonstrar estatisticamente o cenário que envolve as relações de gênero em âmbito profissional e familiar. Posteriormente é empreendida uma análise das medidas normativas de ordem estatal ou negocial, assim como dos compromissos sociais assumidos pelas empresas, averiguando-se em que medida esses fatores garantem a isonomia dos direitos entre mulheres e homens. A análise será desenvolvida considerando-se que há, numa perspectiva de direito e dever, necessidade de envolvimento dos homens no cotidiano familiar, seja para que deixem de ser meros coadjuvantes nessas interações ou para que seja possível equilibrar a dupla jornada feminina.

A extensão universitária é responsável por um conjunto de práticas inter e multidisciplinares. O projeto “A Engenharia e a Rede Social do Barreiro: tecnologia social a serviço da comunidade”, desenvolvido principalmente por alunos do curso de Engenharia Civil, da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais - Unidade Barreiro, tem o propósito de atender as demandas solicitadas pelos moradores da região do Barreiro, relativas à regularização de moradias e introduzir o estudante à realidade que o cerca, promovendo o desenvolvimento dos saberes teóricos aliados a prática. Sabe-se que, obter um imóvel regularizado, pode ser por vezes, uma tarefa complexa que requer investimentos e tempo, elementos que o cidadão muitas vezes não possui. O presente artigo tem como objetivo explanar as etapas do projeto em questão, tais como, levantamento de dados topográficos, processo cadastral e memorial descritivo, que devem ser realizados para alcançar a regularização da moradia, auxiliando a comunidade carente da região.
Uma comparação entre as análises de Antonio Candido e Roberto Schwarz sobre José de Alencar
Authors: Canarinos Ana Karla
Published: February 2020

Este trabalho objetiva mapear os posicionamentos de Antonio Candido e Roberto Schwarz sobre a produção de José de Alencar, mais especificamente o romance Senhora. Para tanto, serão considerados os ensaios “Os três alencares”, de Antonio Candido, publicado em Formação da literatura brasileira (1959); e “A importação do romance e suas contradições em Alencar”, de Roberto Schwarz, publicado em Ao vencedor as batatas (1977). Ambos os críticos são comumente relacionados pela crítica por compartilharem do mesmo arsenal teórico e metodológico, no entanto, as análises sobre José de Alencar revelam diferenças importantes sobre a concepção de modernidade literária dos autores. Nesse sentido, a partir da comparação entre os dois textos críticos sobre a produção alencariana, este artigo pretende debater as tensões e descontinuidades entre o posicionamento de Antonio Candido e Roberto Schwarz.
Os menores na leitura e os pormenores na escrita de Antonio Candido
Authors: Matheus Simone Guimarães
Published: February 2020

A partir de palestras e ensaios a respeito do crítico literário Antonio Candido, produzidos por dois outros grandes críticos brasileiros, objetivamos, com este trabalho, promover uma discussão acerca do que os autores desses artigos pensavam e pensam sobre a contribuição para a literatura brasileira desse crítico, levando em consideração, sobretudo, os conceitos, os ensaios e a perspectiva mais fecundos do homenageado para o cenário crítico atual. A escrita neste ensaio foi fiel às pontuações feitas pelos dois críticos literários e professores da USP: Prof. PhD Adélia Bezerra de Meneses e Prof. Dr. Davi Arrigucci Júnior. A novela “A estória de Lélio e Lina”, de Guimarães Rosa (2001), principalmente um caso oral que é relatado dentro dessa novela, servirá como uma tentativa de exemplificação dos pontos seminais da vasta teoria defendida pelo crítico Antonio Candido.

Recortando Antonio Candido
Authors: Malard Letícia
Published: February 2020

Lembranças pessoais e afetivas de Antonio Candido e de seu discípulo Alfredo Bosi em episódios da vida acadêmica na Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), seguidas da abordagem dos sete textos da autoria de Candido, publicados em 1993, no livro Recortes, porém inéditos até aquela data, comentando-os em sua contextualidade com o objetivo de detectar no crítico um discurso e/ou uma temática diferente daqueles pelos quais foi e é mais conhecido e estudado na academia: o resenhista de resenha literária, o defensor da integração literária da América Latina, o literato memorialista, o crítico genético-comparatista e o cidadão indignado com a violência e a censura.
Fiscal decentralization and economic growth: A dilemma between theory and empiricism
Authors: Hasanli Azar
Published: February 2020

Abandoning fiscal decision-making, redistributing and dispersing authorities provided by central government in favor of local and regional-level governance bodies is one of the widely discussed issues across the world based on the theory of “fiscal decentralization”. Incumbent theoretical and empiric researches regarding to achieving economic growth in the light of global economic fragilities indicate that managerial allocation of public funds among central and local authorities casts significant attention in terms of optimizing economic efficiency. In the article, it is tried to introduce brief theoretical background and measurement techniques to depict empiric relationship between fiscal decentralization and economic growth. In addition to investigating empiric facts, an effort to reveal the impact of fiscal decentralization on acquiring economic growth is made. Based on the investigations conducted in the framework of the article, it becomes obvious that empirical approaches toward the issue can be differed in several aspects: the selection of different economies, the time period chosen, the economies’ level of development and the estimation methodology. However, there are few empirical studies that analyze the relationship between fiscal decentralization and economic growth, and unfortunately the evidence on this topic is inconclusive.
