Cladosporium spp. (Cladosporiaceae) isolated from Eucommia ulmoides in China
Authors: Wang Si-Yao , Wang Yong , Li Yan
Published: July 2022

Eucommia ulmoides is a rare tree species in China with high medicinal and gum value. Nine strains of hyphomycetous fungi were isolated from the leaf litter of E. ulmoides in Guizhou Province. Preliminary identifications based on ITS indicated that they belong to the genus Cladosporium. Morphology and phylogenetic analyses based on the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) of the nrDNA, the partial translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1) gene and partial of actin (act) gene confirmed that the strains represent four species, including two novel taxa, viz., Cladosporium eucommiae and C. guizhouense and two new substrate records for known species.
Monograph of Doselia (Solanaceae), a new hemiepiphytic genus endemic to the northern Andes
Authors: Orejuela Andrés , Villanueva Boris , Orozco Clara Inés , Knapp Sandra , Särkinen Tiina
Published: July 2022

A new genus, Doselia A.Orejuela & Särkinen, gen. nov., is described in the tribe Solandreae (Solanaceae) consisting of four species of hemiepiphytic lianas endemic to the premontane forests of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. The genus is distinguished based on the membranous leaves, usually sparsely pubescent with eglandular simple trichomes, pseudo-verticillate leaf arrangement, and elongated, pendulous, and few-flowered inflorescences with showy flowers and conical fruits. Three new combinations are made to transfer species to the new genus previously described as part of the polyphyletic genus Markea Rich. (Doselia epifita (S.Knapp) A.Orejuela & Särkinen, comb. nov., D. huilensis (A.Orejuela & J.M.Vélez) A.Orejuela & Särkinen, comb. nov. and D. lopezii (Hunz.) A.Orejuela & Särkinen, comb. nov.). One new species is described from the western slopes of the eastern cordillera of the Colombian Andes, known only from three localities in the Boyacá, Santander, and Tolima departments (Doselia galilensis A.Orejuela & Villanueva, sp. nov.). The new species is unique in the genus in having glabrescent adult leaves, green-purplish calyces and long, greenish-white, infundibuliform corollas with delicate purplish veins and large lobes tinged with purple, and pubescent styles. Here we provide a revision of Doselia with a distribution map of all species, an identification key, photographs, preliminary conservation assessments, and line drawings of all four species.

Apprendre du travail avec les pères : quand l’institution « coo-père »
Authors: Akharbach Naïla
Published: July 2022

Le travail avec les pères est aujourd’hui un enjeu central du soutien à la parentalité. La culture institutionnelle très empreinte de la dyade mère-bébé est confrontée au paradigme de l’altérité lors de l’accueil de pères migrants. À travers l’analyse de deux situations cliniques, nous verrons comment cette rencontre peut permettre de remettre en question les cadres de référence et les postures professionnelles. Lorsqu’il est possible, ce processus d’élaboration créatif est alors bénéfique tant pour les pères accueillis que pour l’institution.
Loisirs numériques : la vidéo, loin de la dématérialisation
Authors: Vidalenc Eric
Published: July 2022

Les usages numériques sont en croissance rapide, tirés notamment par la place prise par l’image et plus particulièrement la vidéo. Si les gains d’efficacité du système numérique, sur l’ensemble des composants (terminaux, réseaux, data centers ), ont jusqu’à présent permis de limiter les impacts énergétiques et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, les perspectives de croissance exponentielle sont inquiétantes dans un souci de réduction des impacts environnementaux et dans le contexte d’urgence climatique. Du côté du recyclage, les perspectives d’un numérique plus soutenable sont encore bien loin, avec une complexité matérielle importante et des taux de collecte des appareils et composants encore dérisoires.
Henri Lefebvre 2022 : où est passée la révolution ?
Authors: Combes Francis
Published: July 2022

L’auteur prend appui sur les entretiens que Patricia Latour et lui ont eus en janvier 1991 avec Henri Lefebvre. Ces entretiens qui ont donné lieu au livre Conversation avec Henri Lefebvre (Messidor 1991, collection « Libres propos ») portèrent sur le parcours intellectuel du métaphilosophe, mais aussi sur sa perception des événements qui ont suivi la chute du Mur. Il revient notamment sur l’affirmation contenue dans le livre qu’Henri Lefebvre avait composé avec Catherine Régulier en 1978 : La Révolution n’est plus ce qu’elle était. Henri Lefebvre s’efforçait dans ce dialogue de définir ce qu’il entendait par « la voie nouvelle », voie démocratique qui serait en même temps une voie révolutionnaire. L’auteur réfléchit au prolongement possible de cette pensée pour aujourd’hui.
Henri Lefebvre et la géographie
Authors: Puisais Éric
Published: July 2022

À partir des descriptions faites par Henri Lefebvre du paysage urbain de la banlieue parisienne, nous chercherons à comprendre comment son analyse de l’espace nous amène à repenser à la fois le « droit à la ville » et, surtout, la nécessité présente de recourir à une dialectique de l’espace pour comprendre l’avènement d’une économie politique de l’espace dans un monde globalisé.
Poitiers 732, bataille pour la civilisation ou escarmouche ?
Authors: Ruscio Alain
Published: July 2022

Entre la victoire de Charles Martel à Poitiers et la mort de Roland à Roncevaux, quarante-six années. Entre les premiers textes qui exaltèrent ces deux épopées et notre temps, un millénaire. Et, dans les deux cas, des ennemis désignés, fourbes, cruels, parfois inhumains, les Arabes, les musulmans, les Sarrasins. Deux batailles gigantesques… et deux mythes solidement ancrés dans le roman national. Et pourtant, Poitiers ne fut pas un affrontement entre armées géantes, mais un accrochage, certes violent, mais relativement bref, entre les fantassins francs et la cavalerie sarrasine. Par contre, de Sarrasins il n’y eut point dans la vallée pyrénéenne, et le preux neveu de Charlemagne succomba sous les coups d’assaillants basques.

Authors: Bai Huimin , Li Li , Wu Yongping , Liu Chen , Gong Zhiqiang , Feng Guolin , Sun Gui-Quan
Published: July 2022

Xinjiang is a typical arid and semi-arid Mountain basin system, which make the regional ecosystem extremely fragile. Studying the influence of climate on vegetation is conducive to qualitatively analyze the change trend of vegetation coverage in this region. Therefore, utilizing vegetation coverage and main meteorological elements (temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, sunshine hours) data in Xinjiang province, this paper carried out the influence of multiple meteorological elements on vegetation coverage changes, and constructed a model of the impact of multiple meteorological elements on the growing season vegetation coverage based on random forest. The model can better simulate the vegetation coverage in 2017 and 2018, with an average error of 0.027, in consequence it can well forecast whether the vegetation is high-density or low-density in this area. Correlation analysis and variable importance show that the critical meteorological factors affecting vegetation cover change are relative humidity and sunshine hours, accounting for 73% of the vegetation coverage area. The results are helpful to understand how meteorological factors affect the vegetation coverage, and then provide a theoretical reference for the construction of ecological security in Xinjiang.
Global existence of strong solutions to the kinetic Cucker-Smale model coupled with the two dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
Authors: Jin Chunyin
Published: July 2022

In this paper, we investigate existence of global-in-time strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of the kinetic Cucker–Smale model coupled with the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in the two dimensional space. By introducing a weighted Sobolev space and using the maximal regularity estimate on the linear non-stationary Stokes equations, we present a complete analysis on existence of global-in-time strong solutions to the coupled model, without any smallness assumptions on initial data.
Game theory analysis of self-awareness and politeness
Authors: Guo Huanhuan , Gao Biao
Published: July 2022

This study aims to link two related social psychology concepts, self-awareness and politeness, with human helping behavior and demonstrate it from the perspective of psychological game theory. By establishing a game theory model, and adding politeness and self-awareness as influencing factors, the Bayesian Nash equilibrium clarified people's help-seeking and help-giving behavior. As a result, we explained the relationship between politeness, self-awareness, and the willingness of the help seekers, as well as the helpers, and we can thus understand why some people do not seek help or give help. Specifically, on the one hand, from the perspective of help seekers, we found that people with a high level of self-awareness and politeness tend not to ask others for help. On the other hand, from the perspective of helpers, we found that people with a high level of self-awareness and politeness tend to help others. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of Bayesian Nash equilibrium based on psychological game theory in studying human help-seeking and help-giving behavior.
Dynamics of a stochastic SIRS epidemic model with standard incidence and vaccination
Authors: Xue Tingting , Fan Xiaolin , Chang Zhiguo
Published: July 2022

A stochastic SIRS epidemic model with vaccination is discussed. A new stochastic threshold $ R_0^s $ is determined. When the noise is very low ($ R_0^s < 1 $), the disease becomes extinct, and if $ R_0^s > 1 $, the disease persists. Furthermore, we show that the solution of the stochastic model oscillates around the endemic equilibrium point and the intensity of the fluctuation is proportional to the intensity of the white noise. Computer simulations are used to support our findings.

Published: July 2022

This paper presents a web system to generate programming games for primary school children, with the objective to teach basic programming concepts. It also reviews five existing games with the same purpose, which use either block-based or text-based programming languages. A comparative analysis of the games is provided, based on some important features, such as the presence of a levels map, the use of a block or text language, the presence of a result screen, the presentation of the shortest and previous solutions, among others. The web system is divided into two main parts: the game generator that is used by teachers to create new programming games, and the programming games themselves that are played by students.
Visualizing Groundwater Dispersion: Laboratory Exercise on Dispersivity with Hands-on and Online Students
Authors: Korom Scott
Published: July 2022

Longitudinal groundwater dispersion is measured by calculating the spreading of a solute in the direction of groundwater flow as a function of time, with dispersivity being the plume dispersion divided by the groundwater velocity. Two-dimensional physical groundwater flow models were used in a laboratory exercise to illustrate groundwater dispersion to hands-on and online students.  Learning assessment of the pedagogical value of the laboratory exercise was based on a student survey and an independent laboratory assignment graded by the course instructor.  Both tools indicated that student learning was effectively enhanced by the dispersivity laboratory exercise; however, it was more effective for the hands-on students.

Entrepreneurship is the major solution to the unemployment problem that has resulted to multifaceted socio-economic challenges in the developing worlds.  If engineer becomes entrepreneur, this will not only create jobs but promote technological development and a sustainable national economic growth is guaranteed. The process of entrepreneurship starts from the development of intention to embark on such a venture, hence this study assessed the entrepreneurial intentions of the engineering students in the universities. To accomplish this task, Ajzen theory of planned behaviour is applied. A survey was conductor at the faculty of engineering, Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria through a structured questionnaire administered to 470 engineering students in 2021. The data collected was analysed using Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 20. The results of the descriptive and regression analyses using the SPSS show that engineering courses are mostly study by the male gender and further revealed that entrepreneurial intentions could be statistically investigated using the Ajzen theory. The results specifically revealed that personal attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control are statistically significant in determining the entrepreneurial intentions of engineering students, while the level of study is insignificant. Based on these results, recommendations for the government, heads of engineering faculty, educators in the fields of engineering and entrepreneurship were provided
Approach for Eliciting Learners' Preferences in Moocs Through Collaborative Filtering
Authors: Naji Khadija , Ibriz Abdelali
Published: July 2022

Les MOOC (massive open online courses) deviennent rapidement des incontournables pour assurer la continuité pédagogique et accompagner la vie et les modes de travail futurs. Il est donc nécessaire que les MOOC s'éloignent de leur ancien modèle. Ce cadre présentera un système de recommandation basé sur un algorithme qui utilisera un filtrage collaboratif basé sur les préférences des apprenants MOOC. Le filtrage collaboratif est une technique permettant d'anticiper les intérêts d'un utilisateur en étudiant les préférences des utilisateurs similaires à l'individu en question. Cette approche assure l'analyse de nombreux éléments en utilisant le choix de notation des participants.Un système de recommandation devient de plus en plus courant dans les activités d'étude en ligne ; nous voulons étudier comment cela pourrait aider à l'apprentissage et favoriser une implication plus efficace.

Nous baserons notre système de recommandation proposé sur l'évaluation du contenu du cours. L'idée est que les apprenants évaluent les cours et le contenu auxquels ils se sont inscrits sur la plateforme entre 1 et 5. Suite à l'évaluation, nous extrayons les données dans un fichier de valeurs séparées par des virgules (CSV) et utilisons la programmation Python pour fournir des recommandations à l'aide des données de apprenants avec des modèles de notation similaires. Le but était d'utiliser la programmation Python pour proposer des cours à différents utilisateurs en mode éditeur de texte. Nous utiliserons des modèles d'évaluation similaires via un filtrage collaboratif pour recommander des cours à divers apprenants, améliorant ainsi leur expérience d'apprentissage et leur passion.

Published: July 2022

Building students' spatial ability to assist them in understanding molecular geometry requires proper multimedia. This study investigated the effectiveness of 3D molecular interactive multimedia (3D-MIM) in improving chemistry students' spatial ability. Thirty chemistry education students of a public university in East Java, Indonesia, participated in this study. This pre-experimental pretest-posttest design employed a set of spatial ability tests referring to the three main dimensions of spatial abilities (spatial relationship, spatial orientation, spatial visualization) and semi-structured interview. Our finding showed that students' spatial abilities for the three domains after experiencing the 3D-MIM fall in the strong and large effects category. The values of N-gain falling in the moderate category and effect size (d) in the high category confirm the effectiveness of the 3D-MIM.
The Cultivation of Teamwork Quality from the Perspective of Competitive-Complementary Relations
Authors: Yang Xiaofang
Published: July 2022

During the process of starting a business, in an entrepreneur team, there’s not only a collaborative relationship among team members, there’re also competitions between them. To avoid the consequence of team output reduction caused by the competitive behavior of team members to fight for rights and interests, it’s necessary to figure out the influence of the Competitive-Complementary Relations (CCR) among members on the performance of the team, so this paper aims to study the cultivation of teamwork quality of college students in entrepreneur team from the perspective of CCR. At first, relevant indexes were selected from four aspects of team factor, teacher factor, team member factor, and efficacy factor to form an Evaluation Index System (EIS) for assessing the teamwork quality of the college student entrepreneur team; then, this paper employed a combinatorial weighing method to integrate the weights obtained by the Entropy Weight Method (EWM) and the Variation Coefficient Method (VCM), constructed conceptual models for the competitive efficacy and complementary efficacy of the college student entrepreneur team, and introduced the methods for calculating the competitive degree index and complementary degree index of team members in detail. After that, the paper used a gray prediction model GM (1, 1) to predict the teamwork quality of several sample college student entrepreneur teams within the study period based on the completion degree of entrepreneurial tasks, and used a coupling model to analyze the coupling and coordination degree between competitive degree, complementary degree, and team performance. At last, experiment results proved the effectiveness of the proposed EIS and models.

Authors: M. Venkata Krishna Reddy  , P.V.S. Srinivas  , M. Chandra Mohan
Published: July 2022

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, also known as MANETs are the part of networks which utilizes the technologies like Internet of Things. Internet is filled with known as well as unknown sources which are still considered as a challenge. Considering the security challenges in the topology, infrastructure and bandwidth of these networks the below secure trust approach is proposed. Among all the existing and proposed approaches to provide the security to these networks seemed lengthy and complex. The study here focuses on the trust factor of the nodes to simulate the challenge of providing the secure transmission. The challenge is approached through calculations from the simulations based on node distribution and its trustworthiness. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed secure trust mechanism, three scenarios are considered here. Routing between source ad destination without any trust calculation, routing with only direct trust factor and routing with proposed secure trust calculation from the node’s distributions. The goal of proposed method in this paper is about the secure routing for transmission by simulating the important factor Node trustworthiness using new trust mechanism proposed i.e. secure trust. The metrics from the simulations shows the efficient performance of the proposed method.

Mobile Augmented Reality is scoring more reputation due to the progression in the clever smartphones that include characteristics and hardware needs for integrating AR. MAR offers an exclusive knowledge in which the physical world is enhanced by virtual remarks. It also incorporates computationally intensive techniques that might be divested to edge servers on 5G systems, improving MAR by reducing communication latency and ensuring more robust network links, resulting in unified mobile augmented reality user experiences. Edge computing is one of the probable 5G technologies that could deliver content and processing resources familiar to the users, lowering latency and backhaul load. We presented a MAR structure situated on a 5G edge computing and latency results. Offer higher bandwidth while edge servers completely scale down the network restrictions to reduce the bandwidth severity of the network by operating closer to the user. This paper aims to address the 5G edge computing arrangement to aid consistent MAR and finding protocol for enhanced quality of experience (QoE) for MAR applications.
Le lettré chinois : designer ignoré des traductions
Authors: Bonnard Émilie
Published: July 2022

Le regard de l’Occident sur la Chine ne cesse de se modifier, en fonction des échanges entre les deux pays, et des émotions qui étreignent les protagonistes. Dans un premier temps, l’augmentation des échanges a surtout favorisé la traduction des textes occidentaux en mandarin. Ensuite, l’attrait croissant pour la culture chinoise a conduit à l’augmentation du nombre de sinologues et à une diversification des traductions des textes chinois en Occident. La traduction des récits consacrés à la création, avant 1911 et l’avènement de la République, a révélé la personnalité complexe du lettré qui ne se limitait probablement pas à sa position de fonctionnaire administratif. Il apparaît comme un artiste et intellectuel, un savant ingénieux, parfois jardinier (Ji Chen) ou botaniste (Chen Haozi), ou encore inventeur (Li Yu). Les récits, marginaux, selon les sinologues francophones, de ces hommes créatifs et inventifs, à la croisée des disciplines, résonnent avec les discours des designers contemporains. La traduction francophone des récits de lettrés que nous avons étudiés, relate le développement d’un art de vivre avec le parfum particulièrement raffiné. Les lettrés concevaient des ustensiles, des usages, des circonstances, pour vivre harmonieusement dans une ambiance parfumée. Aujourd’hui, dans ces traductions, doit-on qualifier ce personnage de « lettré », de « designer », ou encore plus précisément de « designer olfactif » ? Un dialogue entre sinologues et designers semble s’imposer.
Zu, ou les possibles d’une pensée japonaise du design
Authors: Maudet Nolwenn
Published: July 2022

Si la traduction des classiques anglais du design en français reste lacunaire, les pensées du design développées en dehors de l’anglais sont presque invisibles en France. En s’appuyant sur un exemple d’une pensée du design japonaise, cet article développe une réflexion sur quelques-unes des possibilités et des limites d’une pensée du design en dehors de l’anglais. Le texte présenté dans cet article, écrit en 1981 par le designer Tadanori Nagasawa lors de ses recherches au Royal College of Art, introduit la notion de zu 図, un terme japonais a priori intraduisible qui permet de décrire « presque toutes les formes de représentations graphiques en deux dimensions, autres que les images picturales et la simple prose ». Après un premier travail réflexif de traduction et d’acculturation en français de cette notion qui permet de penser le design de manière décloisonnée à travers ses outils de représentation graphique, on interroge la possibilité même d’une pensée non anglo-centrée du design. Car, la pensée de Nagasawa, plus qu’une pensée du design japonaise, est une pensée bilingue, se construisant sous le regard de l’anglais dans un mémoire écrit avant tout pour des lecteurs anglophones. Or, une seconde analyse du texte de Nagasawa révèle comment le développement de sa théorie du zu s’appuie sur les particularités du système d’écriture de la langue japonaise.
Traductologie et théories du design : des « arts exacts » ?
Authors: Chomarat-Ruiz Catherine
Published: July 2022

Dans quelle mesure traductologie et théories du design peuvent-elles être scientifiques ? C’est en partant des métaphores utilisées dans le domaine de la traductologie et de leur éventuelle transposition au design et à ses théories que cette question émerge. Cet article éclaire les fondements de cette transposition et, ce faisant, met au jour les faiblesses épistémologiques que ces deux disciplines partagent au point que la première pourrait être considérée comme paradigmatique pour la seconde. Sans clore le débat, il encourage son lecteur à se demander s’il ne vaudrait pas mieux renoncer à toute scientificité pour penser ces deux disciplines comme des « arts exacts ».
Des réductions en art aux traductions incidentes : le décentrement d’un design tactique
Authors: Marion Grégory
Published: July 2022

Nourri des travaux de Michel de Certeau soutenant la capacité de la « culture ordinaire » à faire incidence sur l’ordre de la production industrielle (cf. le travail de l’auteur sur les « manières de faire » et les « pratiques quotidiennes » dans L’Invention du quotidien, 1980), cet article propose de frotter de façon spécifique – dans le champ des arts, des techniques et du design – textes, objets ou pratiques, afin de dégager des lignes de discernement et ménager des ouvertures. Tenant à l’attention certalienne à l’égard des procédures « tactiques », il s’agit, pour soutenir l’hypothèse de traductions en design, de mettre en discussion le paradigme de « la réduction en art », c’est-à-dire l’emprise de doctrines qui confisquent des « arts de faire » afin de les reformuler en discours. Tel renversement critique, dégageant les multiples usages qui traduisent quotidiennement les produits de consommation courante en tournures et phrasés, ne manque pas d’interroger la tâche du designer.
Using Writing to Make Change
Authors: Spinner Elisabeth
Published: July 2022

This chapter explores the possibilities of using mentor texts through the lens of culturally relevant writing instruction in the secondary English classroom. Mentor texts can serve as powerful writing guides for students and can be made more relevant and meaningful when used in ways that foster culturally relevant pedagogy, such as bringing in student culture and identities into the classroom. This chapter begins with research on writing instruction that uses mentor texts as well as culturally relevant pedagogy. Then, steps and strategies to implement this research in the classroom are provided. Finally, the chapter provides specific teaching ideas to use with two different mentor texts, a speech by Stacy Abrams and Malala Yousafzai's blog. These texts can be used to teach effective and meaningful argument and narrative writing techniques.

Published: July 2022

In this chapter, the authors present findings from a subset of data from a larger study to consider spelling development, as well as the development of one particular genre, the information report. The teacher's role in supporting the development of spelling and genre knowledge in early writing is also considered. The authors begin with a review of related literature with specific attention to what is known about how young children develop genre knowledge, spelling, and to a lesser degree, other concepts. The authors then describe a study of first-grade students' information report writing across the year from August to May, with a particular focus on their control of genre knowledge and spelling. The chapter ends with implications for teachers and how they might support young authors across these dimensions.

Authors: Gutiérrez-Artacho Juncal , Olvera-Lobo María-Dolores Olvera
Published: July 2022

This chapter tackles the need to incorporate strategies of linguistic and cultural accessibility that guarantee respect for diversity and equality in processes of dissemination and access to tourism information in the web environment. The proposal focuses on transcreation as a fundamental tool from the perspective, furthermore, of inclusive language. These reflections will contribute to establishing recommendations aimed at facilitating the creation of contents adapted to the characteristics of the new media. These guidelines may be of great use both for professionals in the tourism sector and for those in the field of communication or translation, amongst others. In addition, the contribution aims to favour the development of teaching resources linked to aspects of the specific language of communication and marketing, encouraging more holistic training for students of tourism and related areas. This rejuvenated professional profile will also require knowledge in post-digital communication to undertake this task in a global manner.
Gamification 101
Authors: Hill David R. , Brunvand Stein
Published: July 2022

Higher education is currently experiencing a period of self-examination as tuition costs soar, academic relevance is being challenged, and institutions experience stagnant enrollment. This changing collegial landscape has prompted higher education faculty and administration to reexamine many of their current practices. One area that some faculty have begun to explore is their pedagogical approach to instruction. Having realized that the lecture format is no longer sufficient for delivering engaging education, faculty have started to embrace alternative pedagogies such as games or game elements to enhance assignments and increase student engagement. This chapter will explore gamification implementation as an alternative pedagogical method and examine various elements of a gamified class structure at the university level. Other key features discussed in this exploration include the design and evaluation of course assignments, the use of locks on assignments, and the relevance of competition within gamified courses.
Science Fair Project in the Teacher Training Process
Authors: Hernández-Barco Miriam Andrea , Sánchez-Martín Jesús , Corbacho-Cuello Isaac , Cañada-Cañada Florentina
Published: July 2022

In this chapter, the authors describe a Star Wars scientific gamification experience, presented as a gymkhana with seven different activities to be carried out in the classroom. This proposal was designed to be done with prospective primary teachers during their science training studies. The prospective teachers have to observe, explore, experiment, and describe the different physical and chemical phenomena involved. The emotional response of prospective teachers was studied to describe their affective dimension after this “science fair.” Such gamification promotes high rates of positive emotions (such as surprise or curiosity) and very low rates of negative emotions (such as boredom or rejection). The affective domain should be considered during teacher training, which is possible with this kind of experience.

Authors: Mandanici Marcella
Published: July 2022

This contribution explores the connections between gameful elements, bodily interactions, and musical features in the context of three case studies of music learning applications, demonstrating the role of these components in accomplishing the application's task. The critical essential element common to the three case studies is engagement due to gameful elements and other design characteristics such as the choice of music materials and the link between their structural elements and full body/gestural interaction. Assessment and experimental results demonstrate that these characteristics deeply influence users' involvement, memory, and learning.

Authors: Rossetti Pietro , Garzia Fabio , Genco Nicola Silverio , Sacchetti Antonio
Published: July 2022

Human Factor (HF) monitoring under the critical CBRN environment reduces the likelihood of errors or injuries by first responders who carry out operations within an unknown workspace. Indeed, thanks to the monitoring, analysis and assessment of physical and mental workload and manual handling of equipements by first responders, it is possible to increase safety, efficiency and effectiveness. The IoT and Edge computing, contextualizing the collected data, promises to enhance the CBRN situational awareness by working on the HFs aspects with a view to context-aware reasoning. IoT and edge computing enabling technologies envisage operators needs and behaviours by gathering information about biophysiological conditions, emotional state and operational data by first responders.This study aims to introduce the edge computer for data fusion in tactical networks and computational services, fully integrated in IoT solutions of remote monitoring of HFs. These latter, related to Human Performance and health of responders, may prove useful as innovative tools in CBRN incident management.
A Combined Approach for RT-Systems Development and Analysis
Authors: Boukhelfa Kamel , Belala Faiza
Published: July 2022

In this paper, we propose an approach for the development of real time systems and applications with a formal support based on rewrite logic. The design pattern based development process permits to represent the real time design patterns according to the new profile “DPP-RTSA” and provide, so, a manner to correctly execution of the instantiation and the composition of patterns. The obtained design from the application of the proposed process is translated into formal specification in rewriting logic (RT-Maude).

Spatial variations of COVID-19 risk by age in Toronto, Canada
Authors: Nazia Nushrat
Published: July 2022

The risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may vary by age, biological, socioeconomic, behavioural and logistical reasons may be attributed to these variations. In Toronto, Canada, the aging population has been severely impacted, accounting for 92% of all COVID-19 deaths. Four age groups: 60-69 years, 70-79 years, 80-89 years and ≥90 years in Toronto neighbourhoods were investigated for clustering tendencies using space-time statistics. Cohen’s Kappa coefficient was computed to assess variations in risk by neighbourhood between different age groups. The findings suggest that knowledge of health risks and health behaviour varied by age across neighbourhoods in Toronto. Therefore, understanding the socioecological context of the communities and targeting age-appropriate intervention strategies is important for planning an effective mechanism for controlling the disease.

Epidemic-prone diseases have high adverse impacts and pose important threats to global health security. This study aimed to assess levels of health facility preparedness and response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Guinea. This was a cross-sectional study in public and private health facilities/services across 13 Guinean health districts. Managers and healthcare workers (HCWs) from departments in each facility/service were interviewed. Descriptive statistics and comparisons were presented using Pearson’s Chi-Squared Test or Fischer exact test. Totally, 197 managers and 1020 HCWs participated in the study. Guidance documents and dedicated spaces for management/isolation of suspected COVID-19 cases were available only in 29% and 26% of facilities, respectively. Capacities to collect (9%) and safely transport (14%) samples were low. Intensive care units (5%), dedicated patient beds (3%), oxygenators (2%), and respirators (0.6%) were almost lacking. While 36% of facilities/services had received infection prevention and control supplies, only 20% had supplies sufficient for 30 days. Moreover, only 9% of HCWs had received formal training on COVID-19. The main sources of information for HCWs were the media (90%) and the internet (58%). Only 30% of HCWs had received personal protective equipment, more in the public sector (p0.001) and in Conakry (p=0.022). This study showed low levels of preparedness of health facilities/services in Guinea and highlighted a lack of confidence among HCWs who felt unsafe at their workplace. Better governance to improve and maintain the capacity of the Guinean health system to respond to current and future epidemics is needed.

and availability of sanitation facilities, individual health beliefs and behaviour are critical in combating the sustained prevalence of Covid-19. Behaviour has, however, been shown to be consistent but could be context-dependent based on the individual’s beliefs. To investigate whether or not individuals’ protective behaviour against coronavirus is associated with their behaviour in a previous health context. Facemask usage and engagement in risky sexual behaviour (RSB) were employed as corollaries of Covid-19 protective behaviour and a previous health context respectively. Data on them and other sociodemographic correlates of health behaviour were collected on 522 Nigerians via a web-based survey. The data were analyzed using frequency, Chi Square and Binary Logistics Regression. About 31% of the population wore facemasks in public, 48.1% believed Covid existed and was severe, and 31.6% had engaged in RSB. Individuals who engaged in RSB had lower odds of wearing facemasks in public in both the general population and across the rural-urban divide. The relationship was, however, only statistically significant (OR:0.642, p0.05) in the adjusted regression model. Other significant determinants of facemask use were gender, place of residence, employment status and beliefs about Covid. The similarity of individual beliefs and behaviours in different health contexts provides an opportunity to model behaviour change communication policies for preventing and combating the spread of coronavirus and other infectious diseases.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health threat that has spread rapidly and caused morbidity and mortality worldwide. Reducing the myths about infectious diseases is vital for controlling transmission. This study explored the level of misconceptions and associated factors of COVID-19 among internally displaced persons in Sudan. This study is a cross-sectional, descriptive design and community-based study. We collected the data using a self-administered questionnaire via the convenience sampling technique among internally displaced persons in the camps of Zalingei town in the central Darfur region of Sudan. The total mean score of the respondents’ misconception was 3.1725 (SD=0.59) with 63.2%, indicating moderate misunderstanding of COVID-19. Multiple linear regression revealed the independent variables together had a significant impact on a misconception, F(14,116)=2.429, p0.005. The regression model explains 22.7% of the variance in misunderstanding. Analysis of the influence of single factors on the dependent variable showed that people aged 31–40 years had significantly higher levels of misconception, 0.381 (t=2.116, p0.037), than those aged over 60 years, and university graduates had considerably lower levels of misunderstanding, −0.061 (t=−2.091, p0.03) than non-graduates. This study found a moderate level of misconception of COVID-19. Non-graduates had higher levels of misunderstanding than graduates. The results suggest that an education campaign should focus on people with low levels of education to correct their misconceptions regarding the prevention of COVID-19 infection.

Stunting, wasting, and being underweight are indicators of malnutrition in a country. The high status reflects the poor nutritional and health status of children under five. We analyzed data from the Demographic and Health Survey conducted in Timor Leste from 2009 to 2016 to identify the prevalence and predictor stunting, wasting, and underweight. The variables analyzed were the mother’s education, mother’s age, mother BMI, mother’s height, number of ANC visits, birth weight, sex of a child, sex of head household, type of residence, wealth index, toilet facility, source of drinking water and province. The sample in this study was 3,723 toddlers. Prevalence of stunting (44.4%), underweight (37.5%) and wasting (25.3%). In the bivariate analysis, the variables statistically significantly associated with stunting, underweight, and wasting was mother’s education, sex of a child, type of residence, wealth index, and province. Improving the nutritional status of children in Timor Leste requires various nutrition and health interventions.

Traditional Vietnamese Medicine has its own development based on the local endemic herbs, but it also inherits from Traditional Chinese Medicine using Chinese herbal medicines. Throughout the history of cultural exchange between two countries, the adoption of Chinese Danggui, Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels., has been made by Vietnamese traditional medicine practitioners for a long time. However, the acclimatization has never been successful. Japanese Danggui, or Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa, is recently being acclimatized and cultivated in several Vietnamese regions. Despite the huge climate change between the two countries, the herb adapted exquisitely well to the humid tropical climate. However, so far, there are no studies that have evaluated the effect of acclimatization on the overall quality of this medicinal herb. The aim of our study is screening secondary metabolites of this acclimatized herb for new natural compound(s), if any. The analysis of flavonoid fraction from this herb led to the identification of two known compounds which previously have not been isolated from this species elsewhere. This detection showed that the herb has reacted to the new environment.
