J/Ψ Meson Production Pattern in PbPb Collisions at 5.02 TeV in HYDJET++ Model
Authors: Belyaev A. V.
Published: December 2024

The investigation of quarkonium production in heavy-ion collisions is essential for gaining insights into the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and understanding the underlying mechanisms of particle production in high-energy physics. This paper provides a phenomenological analysis of the various properties of J/ψ mesons in PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair. The momentum spectra data of J/ψ mesons are accurately reproduced using the two-component model HYDJET++, which integrates both thermal and non-thermal production mechanisms. A substantial fraction of J/ψ mesons undergo earlier freeze- out compared to light hadrons, aligning with observations at an energy of 2.76 TeV. These results offer important insights into the dynamics of J/ψ meson production and their interactions within the quark-gluon plasma.

Исследование рождения кваркониев в столкновениях тяжелых ионов имеет ключевое значение для получения представлений о свойствах кварк- глюонной плазмы (QGP) и для понимания механизмов рождения частиц в физике высоких энергий. В данной работе проведен феноменологический анализ различных свойств J/ψ мезонов в PbPb столкновениях при энергии 5,02 ТэВ на пару нуклонов в системе центра масс. Спектры импульсов J/ψ- мезонов были точно воспроизведены с использованием двухкомпонентной модели HYDJET++, которая включает как термальные, так и нетермальные механизмы рождения. Было показано, что существенная доля J/ψ- мезонов претерпевает более термическое вымораживание по сравнению с легкими адронами, что согласуется с наблюдениями для энергии 2,76 ТэВ. Эти результаты предоставляют важные сведения о динамике рождения J/ψ-мезонов и их взаимодействиях в кварк-глюонной плазме.
Ansatz for the Two-Dimensional Ising Model in an External Magnetic Field
Authors:   Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington, Alexanian Moorad
Published: December 2024

An ansatz applied to the two-dimensional Ising model in an external magnetic field h gives rise to an exactly soluble model. The singularity in the magnetization found by Onsager does not survive the presence of the external magnetic field as found earlier by Lee and Yang in 1952. However, the singularity in the heat capacity remains even in the presence of the magnetic field. A surprising result is the presence of negative heat capacity for h > 0.

The article presents territorial manifestations of about ten syntactic isoglosses in dialectal Armenian. They are observed in more than 130 speeches, representing all dialect groups of the Armenian language. IIsoglosses refer to both the order and agreement of sentence members, as well as their expression and formation. It is noticeable that both dialect groups and dialects and speeches can differ in syntactic features. They also determine the relationship between dialect units. Like other dialectal features, syntactic features also vary in prevalence: in addition to those that are widely spread, there are also those that have a rather limited scope. In the article, a number of new syntactic isoglosses are formulated, which can also be included in the field of studying dialectal realities.
В статье представлены территориальные проявления около десяти синтаксических изоглосс в диалектном армянском языке. Они наблюдаются более чем в 130 говорах, представляющих все диалектные группы армянского языка. Изоглоссы относятся как к порядку и согласованию членов предложения, так и к их выражению и формированию. Заметно, что как диалектные группы, так и диалекты и говоры могут различаться по синтаксическим особенностям. Они также определяют взаимоотношения между диалектными единицами. Как и другие диалектные признаки, синтаксические признаки также различаются по распространенности: рядом с теми, у кого большое распространение, могут быть те, у которых охват довольно ограничен. В работе сформулирован ряд новых синтаксических изоглосс, которые также могут быть включены в область изучения диалектных реалий.

Authors: Baharta Ridwan , Sobari Enceng , Aris Muhammad Aliyawan
Published: December 2024

Smart farming is increasingly popular and serves as a support tool for renewable agricultural cultivation systems. However, hydroponic control tools remain expensive and are primarily limited to large-scale agrarian industries. The novelty of this research lies in addressing the lack of  hydroponic control tools specifically designed for small-scale and affordable cultivation systems. This study aims to design and develop a simple operational hydroponic control system suitable for small-scale cultivation. The method involves adopting a programming system using microcontroller devices and utilizing Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) hydroponic installation components as the working mechanism. The results of this study indicate that the simple hydroponic control tool effectively responds to several testing parameters, including air temperature, water temperature, nutrient concentration, and humidity, with optimal data readings over 24 hours. This work provides  a recommendation for developing cheaper and more affordable tools with mechanism that can be further improved.

Authors: Y.H. Ho. , S.Y. Tang. , J.Q. Guo.
Published: December 2024

Accurate solar irradiance forecasting is critical for optimizing photovoltaic (PV) systems, enhancing grid stability, and enabling effective energy management. This study explores the integration of machine learning (ML) techniques with Global Positioning System (GPS) data to improve the accuracy of solar irradiance prediction. By incorporating Total Electron Content (TEC) and Integrated Water Vapor (IWV) derived from GPS data, alongside meteorological variables such as pressure and temperature, a robust forecasting model was developed. Among the three backpropagation algorithms tested—Levenberg-Marquardt, Bayesian Regularization, and Scaled Conjugate Gradient—the Bayesian Regularization algorithm with a 10-layer neural network achieved the best performance, with the lowest Mean Square Error (MSE) and highest Correlation Coefficient (R). The model's predictions closely aligned with measured solar irradiance, demonstrating its reliability. Despite challenges such as data availability and computational complexity, the study highlights the potential of integrating GPS-derived data into ML-based solar irradiance forecasting. This approach offers a promising solution for advancing renewable energy management and supporting the transition to sustainable energy systems.
The genetics influencing seed cone initiation and development in Picea abies : how a SNP changed everything
Authors: Zivi Nathan
Published: December 2024

Picea abies is an economically important forest tree that commonly dominates Swedish boreal forests. Its tendency towards infrequent seed cone-setting, and therefore low seed production, has been a challenge for research, breeding, and industry. In order to better understand what processes are involved in initiation and development of seed cones, we took a variety of approaches: First we provided evidence that a mutation in the combined microRNA156/529 binding site of gene encoding a SQUAMOSA BINDING PROTEIN LIKE transcription factor (PaSPL1) is the causal factor in the early cone-setting phenotype of the acrocona mutant (Paper I). The mutation in the miR156/529 binding site leads to a misregulation of PaSPL1 transcripts which promotes female reproductive development and early cone-setting. Second, we performed Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) experiments to create a spatiotemporal atlas of gene expression during early stages of shoot primordia development. In these experiments, we collected vegetative, seed cone, and acrocona transition shoot primordia at three time points during development (Paper II). The development of different tissues and gene expression within the different bud types were described and led to the identification of four tissue domains with distinct expression profiles. A ShinyApp was developed to allow easy navigation of gene expression in all bud types and time points. Third, we studied the natural variation in cone-setting ability and effects of Gibberellic Acid (GA) injections in a seed orchard (Paper III). Seed cone production, hormone concentration, and gene expression between treatments and genotypes were analyzed.

A participação feminina na política tem sido ao longo dos anos, objeto de muitos debates em todo o mundo, e o Brasil não é exceção. Apesar de as mulheres constituírem a maior parte da população, sua presença nos cargos eletivos continua efetivamente inferior à dos homens. Esse desequilíbrio de gênero levanta preocupações sobre a legitimidade democrática e a capacidade do sistema político de representar adequadamente os interesses de uma população cada vez mais diversa. A Lei 10.304/2009 estabelece que os partidos políticos reservem no mínimo 30% e no máximo 70% das vagas para candidaturas de cada sexo. Na prática, essa legislação passou a garantir uma maior participação feminina no processo político brasileiro. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a eficácia do cumprimento da Lei 10.304/2009 na composição da Câmara de Vereadores de Maceió, além de examinar a relação entre o número de candidaturas femininas propostas e o real número de vereadoras. Pretende-se comparar a composição da bancada feminina antes e depois da Lei 10.304/2009. A metodologia utilizada consistiu na análise de dados eleitorais de duas eleições anteriores a essa legislação e de três posteriores. O trabalho focou no número de candidaturas propostas e no número de vereadoras eleitas. Ficou demonstrado que não houve um aumento proporcional do número de cadeiras ocupadas por mulheres no legislativo de Maceió em função do aumento do número de candidaturas femininas propostas. Estudos posteriores devem ser realizados para entender por que o aumento de candidaturas femininas não resultou em um aumento no número de vereadoras eleitas.

A própolis é um material resinoso produzido pelas abelhas e apresenta diversas propriedades biológicas, sendo amplamente utilizada em diversos tratamentos pela indústria farmacêutica por se mostrar promissor como agente antibacteriano, antiviral, antiulceroso, como imunomodulador, cicatrizante, antioxidante, anti-inflamatório, antitumoral e como tratamento adjuvante de diversas doenças como dermatite alérgica, câncer, infecções do trato respiratório, lesões hepáticas, além de manifestar função neuro protetora. Existem inúmeros tipos de própolis, sendo classificado treze no Brasil. Os tipos mais estudados são a própolis verde, vermelha, marrom e amarelo, sendo a verde a mais popular e a mais pesquisada. A grande variabilidade química da própolis de diferentes origens leva a propriedades biológicas também distintas, justificado pela variação geográfica e botânica, levando a compostos diferentes, porém a composição básica resume-se em resinas, ceras, ácidos graxos, álcoois, ésteres, vitaminas e compostos fenólicos. Essa distinção limita uma padronização de dosagem segura para tratamento em humanos, sendo identificado por alguns estudos a dose de 500mg/dia. Devido a essa ampla variedade de compostos bioativos, a própolis precisa ser cada vez mais estudada e aplicada em tratamentos, resultando e uma maior adesão por produtos naturais com custos menos onerosos.

DISCOVERING THE PRINCIPALS’ UNDERSTANDING OF INCLUSION AND INCLUSIVE PRACTICES: THE CASE OF NOTRE-DAME SCHOOLS IN VIETNAM
Authors: Vu Quang Diem Chi
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to discover how the principals interpret inclusion and their inclusive practices at Notre-Dame (CND) schools in Vietnam; hence, the research questions that guide this study are: 1) How do principals of the CND schools interpret inclusion? 2) How do the principals of the CND schools practice inclusion in terms of developing culturally responsive teachers, promoting culturally responsive / inclusive school environment, and engaging students, parents, and indigenous contexts? In this study, Culturally Responsive School Leadership Framework is used as the conceptual framework. The research design is multiple-case study that is conducted at all five CND schools in Vietnam. The data collection instruments are semi-structured interviews with five principals of CND schools, mini-surveys for teachers and parents, and documentation. Through cross-case analysis, eight themes emerge and indicate that CND principals believe that in order to implement inclusion effectively, it is necessary to have a great hope for students’ growth in education and a commitment to providing equal learning opportunities for all students. Then, through situational leadership and leadership as graced companionship, the principals develop inclusive educators for their schools, make some school adaptations, create their school as a “common home” for all stakeholders, and build an educational community to engage diverse individuals and organizations in their inclusive educational mission. These themes are organized in a framework as an initial view on how inclusive education is being implemented at CND schools in Vietnam. This framework can be used as a foundation for the development programs of CND schools on the way to become inclusive institutions based on the criteria identified by international organizations.

ROLE OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE SOCIAL SPHERE AS A MECHANISM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Authors: ROMANENKO Kateryna , ISAIEVA Sofiia
Published: December 2024

The analysis of domestic sources has provided a basis for defining the conceptual foundations of strategic planning in the social sphere as a pivotal mechanism of public administration. This analysis underscores the significance of the public administration mechanism as a core concept for understanding and examining the phenomenon. By adopting this perspective, strategic planning for the development of the social sphere is interpreted as a multifaceted and intricately structured management tool employed by public authorities and local self-government bodies. This tool encompasses a range of critical elements, including the process of goal-setting in public administration activities, thorough analysis of the management object and the methods used to exert public administration impacts, identification and allocation of resources necessary for the development of the management object, and the establishment of effective pathways for utilizing these resources within the development management process. The study substantiates that strategic planning belongs to the category of systemic mechanisms within public administration, serving as a framework for organizing and optimizing governance processes. Its systemic nature allows for the integration and alignment of various elements of governance, ensuring coherence across policies and actions. Accordingly, strategic planning in the social sphere as a mechanism of public administration is conceptualized as a comprehensive and cohesive system. This system integrates all components of State policy in the social sphere, grounded in the definition of long-term strategic goals that guide its development. By doing so, it fosters consistency, coherence, and orderliness in the regulatory and developmental activities of public authorities and local self-government bodies. Furthermore, this approach ensures the alignment of short-term actions with long-term objectives, enabling a stable and structured regulatory influence on the social sphere. Such influence is directed toward achieving the State's strategic vision for social development, addressing the dynamic needs of society, and promoting equitable resource distribution. Through its holistic and integrated approach, strategic planning facilitates the harmonization of diverse policy areas, maximizes the efficient use of resources, and encourages the adoption of innovative governance practices. In essence, it acts as a strategic compass, guiding public administration efforts to enhance the well-being of citizens and foster sustainable societal progress over the long term.

Authors: MARENICHENKO Valerii , PIDLEPIAN Nataliia
Published: December 2024

The terminological apparatus of the research is defined. In particular, it was noted that human capital, to a greater extent, refers to the knowledge, skills, experience and abilities of people that can bring economic benefits. Human capital is measured in terms of labor productivity and can influence economic growth. Human potential, on the other hand, is a broader category that includes the capacity of an individual or group of people to develop, learn, create, and achieve goals. It is not only knowledge and skills, but also motivation, innovation, adaptability and social responsibility. The concept of state support as a tool for managing the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is characterized. The foreign experience on the issue of state support for small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, in such countries as the United States of America, France, and Japan, is analyzed. The influence of individual support institutions in these countries and their emphasis not only on financial and infrastructural support, but also on the development of human potential have been determined. It is proposed to improve the modern mechanism of public administration of small and medium-sized enterprises as a driver of the development of the economy and human potential by a set of actions, including the opening of information centers that provide consultations, educational resources and information about available support programs, the introduction of special programs aimed at the development of entrepreneurship in regions with low level of economic activity, development of applications that teach entrepreneurship through interactive elements, ensuring financial literacy of the population through the creation of courses on financial management, planning, accounting and budget management, use of modern analytical tools to study consumer trends and market needs, development of models for forecasting changes in the market environment, organizing events that help entrepreneurs cope with stress and emotional difficulties, creating groups to discuss problems and successes that can be useful for the entrepreneur's personal development, and other activities.

Authors: RYBKINA Svitlana , CHUMAK Ihor
Published: December 2024

In recent years, Ukraine has faced a serious and extremely difficult challenge to its national security, which arose in connection with the aggression of a neighboring state. This aggression aims to undermine sovereignty, destroy territorial integrity, change the democratic constitutional system and harm other vital national interests of Ukraine. In the conditions of such aggression, equipping the armed forces takes on priority, since the country's defense capability and its ability to resist external threats depend on the effectiveness of this process. Studying the mechanisms of staffing the armed forces is an urgent task both for ensuring the proper functioning of defense institutions and for building a long-term national security strategy.
The article examines in detail and compares various approaches to equipping the armed forces, which are used in world practice. Special attention is paid to analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each type of manning, including voluntary enlistment, contract service, mobilization, and mixed systems. The impact of various social, economic and political factors on the effectiveness of the functioning of these mechanisms was assessed. It was found that the effectiveness of recruitment often depends on the level of public trust in the state, legislative norms regulating this process, and the general level of preparation of the population for possible conscription.
A significant part of the study is devoted to the analysis of the legislation of Ukraine regarding the staffing of the armed forces. In particular, legislative acts determining the procedure for mobilization, conscription and selection for military service were considered. A number of factors have been identified that affect the effectiveness of the implementation of these measures, such as legal gaps, administrative difficulties and public attitudes. Based on the conclusions of the research of domestic and foreign experts, a number of measures are proposed that can contribute to increasing the efficiency of the mechanisms of staffing the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them are the improvement of legislation, increasing the motivation of military personnel, optimization of mobilization processes, and the use of advanced training and training methods. Thus, the presented study is a comprehensive review of existing approaches to the staffing of the armed forces and an assessment of their application in the Ukrainian context. It is aimed at the development of effective mechanisms that will not only meet modern challenges, but also ensure the country's permanent defense capability in the face of a long-term external threat.

Diasporas Intertwined: The Role of Transborder Hungarians in Hungary’s Diaspora Engagement
Authors:   University of Oxford, Molnar Judit
Published: December 2024

In the Hungarian context, the term ‘diaspora’ can refer to two types of communities: those formed through emigration and those emerging from the Treaty of Trianon redrawing borders in 1920. While emigrant-diasporas increasingly adopt migration as a political stance, transborder Hungarians’ strong desire to uphold their national identity aligns them with Fidesz’s nationalist narratives. It highlights their potential as agents of Hungary’s emigrant-diaspora outreach. In this paper, I explore how and to what results the two remarkably different experiences of national identity are bridged by Hungary in attempts to revive the historic nation through emigrant-diaspora engagement.

Mathematics is a subject that has its challenges. This challenge is related to the negative perception of mathematics learning, which is considered complex and saturated. Quizizz is one of the defense media that is considered exciting and fun. This study aims to determine the perception of Madrasah Aliyah (MA) students towards mathematics learning using the Quizizz application. The research method used in this study is quantitative descriptive using a questionnaire consisting of 30 statements. The respondents to this study are 30 MA Al Zaytun Indramayu students who have used Quizizz in mathematics learning in the even semester of the 2023-2024 Academic Year. The study results show that the use of Quizizz in mathematics learning, in general, can be positively received by students. Students feel more motivated to learn, engage, and understand the material better when using the Quizizz app. However, there are several challenges, such as difficulties in understanding the material and time pressure in working on problems some students feel. Overall, Quizizz is considered an effective tool for improving students' learning outcomes and interest in math, with the note that its implementation should be tailored to the needs of students.

Objective: To identify the prevalence and factors associated with T-score discordance between the spine and hip, as well as between the paretic and non-paretic hips in hemiplegic stroke patients, this study investigated bone mineral density (BMD) patterns. Bone loss predominantly affects the paretic hip after a stroke, and typical clinical assessments using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) that scan the lumbar spine (LS) and a single hip may overlook an osteoporosis diagnosis. This oversight could potentially lead to suboptimal treatment for stroke patients.Methods: This study was a multicenter retrospective analysis of 540 patients admitted for stroke rehabilitation between October 2014 and February 2022, who underwent DXA of LS and bilateral hips.Results: The prevalence rates of concordance, low LS discordance, and low hip discordance between the LS and hips were 48.2%, 12.2%, and 39.6%, respectively. The discordance rate between bilateral hips was 17.0%. The paretic side had significantly lower total hip T-scores than the non-paretic side (p<0.001). Notably low paretic hip discordance was more prevalent during the chronic phase. DXA scans of the LS and both hips revealed a 0.7%–0.9% higher major discordance compared to LS and single hip DXA scans. The multivariate analysis revealed a significant correlation between a low paretic hip discordance and cognitive impairment (adjusted odds ratio 0.071, 95% confidence interval 0.931–1.003, p<0.05).Conclusion: Since stroke survivors are at high risk for hip fractures, comprehensive BMD assessments, which include LS and bilateral hips, should be considered for post-stroke osteoporosis care to enhance diagnostic accuracy and timely treatment.
Betweenness-based Ranking of Edges using the Principal Components of the Complements of Local Clustering Coefficient and Neighborhood Overlap
Authors: Meghanathan Natarajan
Published: December 2024

Edge betweenness centrality (EBWC) is a computationally-heavy metric used to quantify the contribution of edges for communicating on shortest paths between any two vertices in a network. In this paper, we explore the use of metrics such as the local clustering coefficient (LCC) of a node and the neighborhood overlap (NOVER) scores of the edges as the basis to quantify the contribution of edges for communicating on shortest paths. As vertices with lower LCC and edges with lower NOVER are expected to be unused by their neighbors (and hence unused by any other node in the network as well) and vice-versa for communicating on shortest paths, we propose to develop a principal components analysis (PCA)-based composite betweenness scores for the edges (referred to as PCA_EBW) computed on the basis of a dataset that includes the LCC' (1-LCC) values for the end vertices and the NOVER' (1-NOVER) scores for the edges. When applied over a diverse collection of real-world networks, we notice a moderate-strong Spearman's rank-based correlation between the PCA-EBW scores for the edges and their EBWC values.
Contribution to the Modeling of Electromagnetic Lightning Transients in High Voltage Power Transmission Lines Connecting Regions With High Storm Density
Authors: Sandoka Nzao Anthony Bassesuka , Garcia Tuka Biaba Samuel
Published: December 2024

The power grid connects electricity production to end uses, providing a physical link for the circulation of energy flows while providing services to the community. The rapid development of technology makes power grids increasingly complex, transmission lines play a crucial role in electricity transmission. However, transient phenomena such as short circuits caused by lightning can propagate between substations, affecting power distribution and requiring real-time management of electrical quantities to maintain the frequency and efficiency of these systems. This paper deals with the modeling of electromagnetic transients due to lightning in high-voltage lines, especially in thunderstorm areas. The bi-exponential model allows us to faithfully represent the lightning shock wave and its impact on these lines. The modeling of the lightning electromagnetic field and its coupling with a high-voltage line were carried out using Maxwell's equations and a transmission line model. The FDTD method allowed us to present the results of the voltages and currents induced by this field in the time domain. We used the Laplace transform to obtain frequency results. The study applied to the test network in the Democratic Republic of Congo shows that the voltages induced by lightning, linked to the amplitude of the disturbing current, jeopardize the life and safety of HV equipment. The 2D simulations highlight the importance of the coordination of the insulation to guarantee the stability of the power transmission lines. Integrating a passive ohmic-capacitive damping circuit in the control part of the protection system dedicated to tropical areas could attenuate the electromagnetic lightning transients and improve the performance of the high-voltage line.

Tanzanian households in the East African Rift System (EARS) are susceptible to regular earthquake shocks, but it is uncertain how they are prepared to handle the consequences. Residents of Bukoba Municipality are particularly at risk because of its location along the EARS, rapid population growth, and encroachment of earthquake fault zones. This study was conducted in the Kashai and Hamugembe wards of the municipality to examine household readiness for potential earthquakes. A mixed-methods approach was used, gathering data from 391 respondents, 8 key informants, and 12 focus group participants through a questionnaire survey, interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and physical visits. Qualitative and quantitative data were analysed using content and descriptive statistics, respectively.

The findings revealed that most respondents were unaware of the cause of earthquakes and safety measures. The dominant earthquake skill in the study area was evacuation (58.3%). Furthermore, 86.2% of respondents lived in unreinforced buildings, water was the most reserved emergency item (39.4%), and mobile phones were prevalent (96.2%) means of communication and information. We also found that neighbour contacts were the most (91.8%) emergency number respondents had. The limited knowledge and skills, lack of emergency items, and unreinforced buildings indicate that residents are at significant earthquake risk. However, the widespread use of mobile phones presents an opportunity for effective knowledge dissemination. We recommend investing in public earthquake awareness programmes and using multimedia to disseminate earthquake information. Additionally, the government should implement earthquake-resistant construction regulations and improve communication among local communities and first responders.

Schüler:innen erwerben Wissen über Sprache(n) auf der Basis ihrer individuellen, oft mehrsprachigen Erfahrung, jedoch wird dieser Hintergrund im Sprachunterricht kaum thematisiert. Der vorliegende Beitrag erläutert Beispiele von Annahmen und Beobachtungen von Lehrpersonen, die gefragt wurden, ob und wie Schüler:innen über Sprache(n), speziell auch über regionale Varietäten, nachdenken. Daten aus 10 Interviews mit Sek I-Lehrpersonen zeigen, dass diese die Kenntnisse und Erfahrungen der Schüler:innen interessant und sogar beeindruckend finden, im Unterricht jedoch kaum darauf Bezug nehmen. Dieser Befund zeigt Desiderate auf für die Aus- und Weiterbildung von Lehrpersonen und für entsprechende Forschung.

Authors: Jouannigot Isabelle
Published: December 2024

Les élèves se présentant comme voyageurs ont des pratiques langagières souvent stigmatisées et stigmatisantes dans une école française idéologiquement monolingue et monovariétale. Après une présentation des éléments linguistiques saillants, nous analyserons les enjeux sociolinguistiques et didactiques qui interviennent dans les interactions scolaires entre élèves voyageurs et enseignants. Nous prendrons comme cas d’étude l’analyse d’une séquence composée de 3 séances de conjugaison dans une classe de CM2.
