Connecting the Light Curves of Type IIP Supernovae to the Properties of Their Progenitors
Authors: Barker Brandon L. , Harris Chelsea E. , Warren MacKenzie L. , O’Connor Evan P. , Couch Sean M.
Published: July 2022

Observations of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) reveal a wealth of information about the dynamics of the supernova ejecta and its composition but very little direct information about the progenitor. Constraining properties of the progenitor and the explosion requires coupling the observations with a theoretical model of the explosion. Here we begin with the CCSN simulations of Couch et al., which use a nonparametric treatment of the neutrino transport while also accounting for turbulence and convection. In this work we use the SuperNova Explosion Code to evolve the CCSN hydrodynamics to later times and compute bolometric light curves. Focusing on Type IIP SNe (SNe IIP), we then (1) directly compare the theoretical STIR explosions to observations and (2) assess how properties of the progenitor’s core can be estimated from optical photometry in the plateau phase alone. First, the distribution of plateau luminosities (L
50) and ejecta velocities achieved by our simulations is similar to the observed distributions. Second, we fit our models to the light curves and velocity evolution of some well-observed SNe. Third, we recover well-known correlations, as well as the difficulty of connecting any one SN property to zero-age main-sequence mass. Finally, we show that there is a usable, linear correlation between iron core mass and L
50 such that optical photometry alone of SNe IIP can give us insights into the cores of massive stars. Illustrating this by application to a few SNe, we find iron core masses of 1.3–1.5 M

1. Le chômage involontaire dans les théories du circuit : histoire, comparaison et actualité des analyses
Authors: Bouvet Patrice
Published: July 2022

C’est à la suite des travaux de Keynes que c’est développée la théorie du circuit dans lequel la monnaie circule entre les banques, les entreprises et les ménages. Dans ce circuit le chômage, involontaire, est expliqué par une thésaurisation excessive et/ou un endettement trop important des firmes. Les cinq critiques logiques pouvant être adressées à cette construction théorique invitent toutefois à se tourner vers une autre théorie du circuit, la théorie des circuits instantanés proposés par Bernard Schmitt. Dans celle-ci le chômage involontaire résulte d’une insuffisance du revenu des ménages relativement aux biens (profits) qui leurs sont proposés, indépendamment du comportement des agents économiques.

Le présent pas simple
Authors: Gendarme Laurence
Published: July 2022

Savoir. Ce verbe prend de multiples sens lorsqu’il est amené dans la clinique de l’enfant adopté. Tant par les enfants, les parents mais aussi par les soignants. Lors des consultations au sein du service adoption nous observons régulièrement une déstabilisation psychique devant les contraintes des apprentissages chez l’enfant adopté. Qu’elles vont être les conséquences sur ces derniers quand la transmission est inhibée, quand le secret domine et qu’on ne sait pas tout de sa propre histoire ? Pourquoi certains enfants adoptés sont-ils empêchés d’apprendre ? Ne pas apprendre est-ce ne pas savoir ? Et quelle est la place du désir d’apprendre et du désir de savoir ?

Enseignante spécialisée et correspondante « École Adoption » dans l’Académie du Puy-de-Dôme, j’ai eu pour mission, pendant plusieurs années, d’accompagner les enseignants et les familles adoptives sur les questions de scolarisation et d’apprentissages scolaires. Les enfants adoptés interrogent l’école dans son ensemble, alors que leurs présences, pour certains d’entre eux, pointent des difficultés d’apprentissages et d’adaptation qui rejoignent les difficultés d’élèves dits à besoins particuliers. La question de l’accompagnement des enseignants et des familles adoptives devient centrale afin de répondre au mieux aux conditions de réussite des parcours scolaires de ces jeunes.

Nous nous proposons de dresser un panorama général des interprétations canoniques de ce concept chez les auteurs relevant de l’Inde bouddhique avant de nous intéresser à la manière dont un philosophe japonais lui-même bouddhiste, Yamauchi Tokuryū (1890-1982), l’interpréta pour interroger la relation entre cause et effet.
Consommer mieux et moins : vers un modèle post-matérialiste ?
Authors: Blanc Ludivine
Published: July 2022

Les changements dans la consommation sont un des principaux axes de recherche du Crédoc. Cet article s’intéresse à la problématique suivante : la consommation s’oriente-elle aujourd’hui davantage vers un modèle post-matérialiste ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous revenons sur la théorie d’Inglehart relative au post-matérialisme et sur le concept de simplicité volontaire. L’article montre que le développement de la sensibilité écologique depuis les années 1990 et le développement de valeurs post-matérialistes ont favorisé l’aspiration d’une partie des consommateurs pour des modes de consommation plus sobres. Toutefois, le désir de consommer est loin d’avoir disparu au sein de la société française.
La gratuité des transports au cœur des enjeux sociaux et écologiques de la mobilité
Authors: Huré Maxime
Published: July 2022

Comment caractériser la gratuité des transports dans les politiques urbaines ? Et comment cette mesure peut-elle répondre aux enjeux sociaux et écologiques de la mobilité ? En s’appuyant sur des recherches menées à Dunkerque, plus grande ville française ayant adopté cette mesure en 2018, et en mobilisant les travaux de l’Observatoire des villes du transport gratuit, cet article propose de situer la gratuité des transports dans les dynamiques urbaines contemporaines. La spécificité de la gratuité des transports est d’utiliser la tarification comme un levier politique pour activer des transformations urbaines. Pour les acteurs politiques, cette mesure est un moyen de valoriser les dimensions sociale et écologique du service public de transports. Cependant, les effets de la gratuité des transports suscitent de nombreuses controverses que cet article souhaite discuter, en particulier concernant les dimensions sociale et écologique de cette politique publique.
Possible, théorie et journal des moments

Published: July 2022

Henri Lefebvre a inscrit son œuvre théorique dans une pensée du possible. Une originalité de son approche est sa théorie des moments qui, dans leurs formes logique, historique ou anthropologique, permettent de singulariser la présence individuelle ou collective. Dans le prolongement de ce mouvement de pensée, Remi Hess développe la technique du « journal » comme outil de construction des moments.
Science ouverte : un accès ouvert pour des traitements fermés ?
Authors: Bruillard Éric
Published: July 2022

La notion de science ouverte est fortement soutenue et sa pratique peut conduire à des améliorations importantes, mais les multiples discours qui s’y rapportent ne sont pas sans contradictions ni zones d’ombre. Ainsi, la généralisation d’un accès libre et gratuit aux publications peut être considérée comme un grand pas vers la constitution d’une sorte de bien commun, mais renforce également des tendances gestionnaires et la domination de grands éditeurs au niveau mondial.
Différencier sans discriminer ? Les paradoxes de l’action éducative
Authors: Perrin Marion
Published: July 2022

La protection des mineurs isolés étrangers par l’Aide sociale à l’enfance apparaît bien souvent comme une mise à l’abri sans que soit prise en compte la singularité de ces jeunes. Si cette prise en charge signifie tranquillité administrative et accompagnement éducatif, elle représente aussi bien souvent pour eux un renoncement à une certaine autonomie, à une liberté d’action et d’autodétermination. Cette infantilisation, qui traverse toute la protection de l’enfance, est particulièrement mal vécue par les jeunes étrangers isolés du fait de leurs expériences antérieures et de leurs aspirations.

A model for considering effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields on quail embryonic cells
Authors: Fioranelli Massimo , Roccia Maria Grazia , Beesham Aroonkumar , Flavin Dana , Ghaeni M. , AZIZ Faissal
Published: July 2022

Previous experiments have shown that extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields could cause serious effects on the evolution of cells. We propose a mathematical model which confirms those results. In our model, electromagnetic waves could cause the motions of ions and charges and the emergence of some currents around and in the interior of cells. These currents produce some waves which interact with the DNAs and remove or attach some repressors. Consequently, some genes could be turned on or off, and cells could obtain some properties or lose them. The frequency of the external waves should be close to the frequency of the exchanged waves between the repressors and DNAs or even bigger than them. We test this idea and did some experiments on quail embryonic cells. We connected a sample of these cells to a battery and considered their evolution. We observed that after connecting the battery and the production of electrical current, some rings around the quail embryonic cells emerged. Maybe, these rings are the response of the cells to changes in electromagnetic waves and electrical currents.

Published: July 2022

Energy is seen as one of the most determinant factors for a nation's economic development. The Sun is an incredible source of inexhaustible energy. The efficiency of the conversion and application of Photovoltaic (PV) systems is related to the PV module's electricity generation and the location's solar potentials. Thus, the solar parameters of a region are important for feasibility studies on the application of solar energy. Although solar energy is available everywhere in the world, countries closest to the equator receive the greatest solar radiation and have the highest potential for solar energy production and application. Dhofar in Salalah-Oman is one of the cities in Oman with high temperatures all year round. The city has been reported to exhibit a maximum solar flux of about 1360 w/m2 and a maximum accumulative solar flux of about 12,586,630 W/m2 in March. These interesting solar potentials motivated the call for investment in solar energy in the region as an alternative to other non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuel-powered generators. As a consequence, several authors have reported on the application of different solar energy in the different cities in Oman, especially in remote areas and various results reported. Therefore, the present review highlighted the achievements reported on the availability of solar energy sources in different cities in Oman and the potential of solar energy as an alternative energy source in Dhofar. The paper has also reviewed different PV techniques and operating conditions with emphasis on the advanced control strategies used to enhance the efficiency and performance of the PV energy system. Applications of standalone and hybrid energy systems for in-house or remote power generation and consumption in Dhofar were discussed. It also focused on the relevance of global radiation data for the optimal application of PV systems in Dhofar. The future potential for the full application of solar systems in the region was mentioned and future work was recommended.

Published: July 2022

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), traumatic brain injury (TBI) will mainly contribute to disability and death by 2020. Facial fractures associated with TBI are a significant public health concern worldwide. The main etiological factors are road traffic accidents, violence, and falls. Neurological injury associated with facial fractures has been reported to be as high as 76%. Therefore, we retrospectively evaluated facial fracture patterns in patients with a traumatic brain injury in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia and evaluated their associations in our study. Ordinal regression was used to examine the facial fracture patterns in patients with traumatic brain injuries. The confounding variables were controlled using ordinal regression analysis, and probabilities of p < 0.1 were considered significant associations. The results found that zygomatic arch fracture −1.141 (95% CI, −2.487 to 0.204, p-value = 0.096), Le Fort II fracture −1.080 (95% CI, −2.138 to −0.022, p-value = 0.045), maxillary bone fracture 2.924 (95% CI, 1.784 to 4.063, p-value .001), nasal bone fracture 4.047 (95% CI, 1.243 to 6.851, p-value = 0.005), and mandibular bone fracture 1.501 (95% CI, 0.711 to 2.291, p-value .001) were the most common facial fracture types associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study provides valuable data for creating prevention plans and gives a chance to discover the epidemiology, prevalence, and connection between TBI and facial fracture.
The effect of heat input on microstructure and HAZ expansion in dissimilar joints between API5L X80 / DSS 2205 steels using thermal cycles
Authors: Zahraei Seyed Meisam , Dehmolaei Reza , Ashrafi Ali
Published: July 2022

In this research, the effect of the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process heat input upon the microstructure and development of the heat-affected zone in the dissimilar joint of API 5L X80/DS5 2205 steels was investigated by recording the thermal cycles with thermocouple implantation in the perpendicular direction of the weld line. The filler metal used (electrode) is DSS 2209. The microstructure of the base and weld metals and their interfaces at different heat inputs were investigated using the scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis technique (SEM/EDS) and optical microscopy (OM). The results indicated that the interface between the base metals and the weld metal has excellent consistency and that there is no evidence of cracks at different heat inputs. By increasing the heat input, it was determined that the amount of secondary austenite in the weld metal and heat-affected zone of 2205 steel had been increased. There occurred an epitaxial growth at the interface of 2209/2205, and there were a fine transition zone and Type II boundaries at the interface of 2209/ API 5L X80. The areas containing coarse, fine, and partially fine grains were detected in the heat-affected zone of the X80 steel. The thermal cycle results determined that the temperature peak in the areas away from the fusion line had increased by increasing the heat input and that the heat-affected zone of the two base metals, particularly the X80 steel, had been extended further.
Strengthening the Teaching of Soft Skills in the Pedagogical Architecture of Moroccan Universities
Authors: Riahi Sara
Published: July 2022

The objective of this article is to initially build indicators that can measure the soft skills of students from Moroccan universities and to study the degree of homogeneity of these soft skills between students from different fields, then to study the correlation links that may exist between these soft skills. Our study has shown that communication is correlated with other soft skills, namely risk aversion, perseverance, self-esteem and sociability. Hence the interest of intervening in the training of students and the provision of the educational resources necessary to strengthen their soft skills such as the deployment of training workshops, as part of the activities of career centers and skills certification via partnerships with the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, which aims to develop the exchange of experiences and data and to mutually benefit, as well as with other cultural, scientific and foreign partners in order to support the reform of the Bachelor's cycle and the revision of the pedagogical architecture that results from it. The objective is to facilitate professional integration and promote the employability of young graduates of Moroccan universities. The construction of soft skills curricula, the training of trainers for teaching and the development of soft skills modules, the development of the educational tools necessary for the teaching of soft skills, training in the creation of online courses on soft skills are among the priority areas.
Adopting the Pedagogy of Trust and its Impact on Learning
Authors: Sidhu Gaganpreet , Srinivasan Seshasai
Published: July 2022

In this work, we present the results of our attempts to transit into a trust-based assessment environment for adult learners. The impact of utilizing an honour system of assessment throughout a course on data structures and algorithm design has been evaluated. The performance of the students has been compared with the performance of students from two previous cohorts that appeared for the same assessments in an invigilated environment. We found that with adult learners, who are more focused on learning the concepts to hone specific skills for applicability at their workplace, the performance variation between the test cohort and the reference cohorts was not significant. With further evidence of this promising initial step, we could evolve into a larger portfolio-based education framework in which students can showcase their competence and skills through a collection of projects and assessments (formative as well as summative), to help with their career growth. Establishment of such pedagogies will help our students step out of their comfort zone, undertake exploratory studies, be willing to unearth their vulnerabilities, and work to improve their shortcomings to help them advance their careers.

The aim of the Knowledge Acquisition Monitoring (KAM) approach created is to teach faster and/or more in a particular time frame. The KAM Question Framework that was designed according to the KAM approach ensures the active involvement of the students in the study process and provides them with relevant and updated content in real-time. The obtained data enables understanding the nature of knowledge acquisition - to improve the content, and enhance the efficiency of the learning process. 3-D coordinates were used to design the Knowledge Acquisition Surface (KAS). This surface describes the relevance of the e-course content to the needs of a student or group of students. The course suitability evaluation is performed considering the area in which the obtained knowledge acquisition data point is located. The approach provides the teacher with insight into the specific needs of students, and facilitates e-course improvement.
Learning Approaches Influence on College Students' Digital Literacy: The Role of Self-Determination Theory
Authors: Tian Xiaoxia , Park Kyung Hee
Published: July 2022

The development of digital literacy is believed to be achieved through individual learning and improvements. This study explored the mutual relations between college students' learning approaches and digital literacy by using Self-determination theory (SDT) from a psychological perspective. Structural equation modeling (SEM), part of a quantitative methodology, was designed with data collected through 639 students from three types of universities. SEM was used to verify the crucial indirect influence of SDT by comparing various effects of learning approaches. The results indicated that personal character, deep learning approach, autonomous and relational motivation significantly affect digital literacy. Firstly, age was an influential factor that surpassed various characteristics compared to gender and university type. Secondly, the more students were involved in the deep learning approach, the higher their digital literacy level, and deep learning has proven to significantly enhance their motivation such as autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Furthermore, among SDT, autonomy and relatedness were crucial factors in improving digital literacy, while competence's influence was relatively insignificant. Such results provide valuable insights into the motivational process of improving college students' digital literacy. We demonstrated that any university or society cannot develop their digital literacy in a conventional way.

Authors: Yue Hongwei , Lin Hanhui , Jin Yingying , Zhang Hui , Cai Ken
Published: July 2022

The knowledge points setting of artificial intelligence curriculum has shortcomings in connection between theory and practices. To overcome the problem, this study designs an open knowledge point design model based on knowledge graph. Fist, to promote the construction of the knowledge graph (KG) of curriculums, associated teaching research was analyzed visually. Then the order and hierarchical structure of the knowledge points were defined, and the ontology structure of curriculum knowledge and the relationship between knowledge points and posts were designed as well. Moreover, an overall logic structure for the construction of the open KG of curriculums was proposed. Results demonstrated that high attention should be paid to the construction and concern of teaching teams for artificial intelligence algorithms and the KG of curriculum construction. Additionally, the opening model can strengthen the openness of the KG of curriculums to reinforce the close connections between classroom knowledge and practices. Research conclusions are conducive to understand the existing problems in the KG of curriculums and provide beneficial references to the integration of information technology and education.
The Feasibility of Practical Vocational Education in Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Kang Dongning , Zhang Bo
Published: July 2022

Practical vocational education needs to lay stress on the integration of theoretical knowledge of common courses such as PE and other cultural courses with the professional knowledge of various high vocational courses. However, existing studies on practical vocational education emphasize more on theoretical research, while the practical and empirical research is slightly insufficient. For this reason, this paper attempts to analyze the feasibility of practical vocational education in higher education institutions. At first, the paper analyzed the influencing factors of the effect of practical vocational education on vocational college students, and adopted Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression to explain the independent variable and 17 dependent variables of the said effect and the relationship between each evaluation index and the corresponding evaluation criterion. Then, to verify the feasibility of practical vocational education in regional higher education institutions, this paper employed an optimized Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) to predict the effect of practical vocational education on vocational college students. At last, the experimental results proved the effectiveness of the constructed model and gave the conclusion of feasibility analysis.
Smartphone as a Self-regulatory Planning Tool
Authors: Hartley Kendall , Shreve Emily , Gianoutsos Dan , Bendixen Lisa D.
Published: July 2022

This study examines the relationship between student planning, smartphone use, and course achievement. The ubiquitous smartphone can promote or hinder learning depending upon how it is used. Prior research has explored overall smartphone use (e.g., hours used) and generally found negative relationships with academic achievement. This study investigates the learner’s approach to a specific academic endeavor, planning, and how the choice of support tools may relate to self-regulated learning skills and course grade. First-year college students reported on their approach to academic planning and how popular tools such as the smartphone and/or a planner were used to that end. The results indicated a strong relationship between both modes of planning and self-regulated learning skills (planner, R = .305, p < .01; smartphone, R = .157, p <.01). The modes of planning had a differing effect on course grades when controlling for self-regulated learning skills with the smartphone planning demonstrating a negative influence (ß = -.078, p < .05) and the planner or notebook demonstrating a positive influence (ß = .082, p < .05). The findings suggest that teachers and students should critically examine the tools they use to support academic goals.

The EFA analysis by using the principal component method of extraction and the varimax method of rotation yielded five factors. Respondents heavily emphasize item TS2 “I am very satisfied with the mobile travel apps” of tourist satisfaction factor. Likewise, this item emerged as the most dominant in the CFA analysis, followed by item TS3 "I am happy with the mobile travel apps", and item TS4 "I am satisfied with the way mobile travel app organizes the trip". The findings are vital to advancing extant mobile travel apps engagement research, while also guiding their developers to better design mobile travel apps to boost tourists’ trust and satisfaction. Direction for further research is furnished.
Estimating the Cost of Wasted Energy During Overcharging Smartphones and Using COVID19 Apps
Authors: Almasri Abdullah Mahmoud , Gouveia Luis Borges , Fernandes Samanta Souza
Published: July 2022

Energy wastage through irresponsible smartphone use comprises a significant sum. Using a secondary desk-based literature review, this paper evaluates con-temporary literature to calculate an approximate estimate of the amount of energy wasted through irresponsible smartphone use by US users on an annual basis. Conservative estimates purely based on overcharging of smartphones in the US suggest that the figure is in excess of US$400m per annum. A variety of factors contribute to irresponsible smartphone use, which are predominantly behavioral in nature. This paper highlights some of the impacts of excessive smartphone use and considers steps which might be taken by users themselves to reduce energy wastage during smartphone use. In addition, suggestions are made to manufac-turers to help them ‘nudge’ users into more responsible behavior through the principles of behavioral economics.

Published: July 2022

In recent decades, the usage of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) games for safety training and rehabilitation has grown exponentially. However, no systematic literature review of the research trends in augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) for Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) training has been carried out. The authors conducted a comprehensive review of the relevant literature published between 2016 and 2020. This analysis was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The Scopus database contained 1031 records. However, only 12 papers matched the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. According to the findings, the use of augmented and virtual reality for safety training and rehabilitation has been progressively growing. With robust research trends in this field—in the post-pandemic era, the use of augmented reality and virtual reality games has promising potential, especially for safety training and rehabilitation. This study provides critical insights into how augmented reality and virtual reality may impact the future of safety training and rehabilitation at the workplace.

Authors: T M Geethanjali , Minavathi  , M S Dinesh
Published: July 2022

Kidney Cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases that is more common in men than in women. Detecting kidney tumors at an early stage has been found to increase survival rates of patients. It is therefore important to accurately segment tumors in Computed Tomography(CT) images. To assist in early detection of kidney tumors in CT images, we present a method for segmenting kidney tumors using deep convolutional neural networks. Predicted models using U-Net and Attention U-Net architectures are ensemble for effective tumor segmentation. Experimental and visual results obtained using the KiTS2019 dataset clearly demonstrate the enhanced Intersection Over Union(IoU) score of the ensemble model.
Traductibilité et design : explorer les paramètres génératifs du brief
Authors: Mertz Laurent , Peneau Justine , Reunkrilerk Dorian
Published: July 2022

Cet article propose d’explorer ce que la traductologie peut éclairer de la pratique du design. Au même titre que la traduction repose sur une activité interprétative d’un texte d’origine, le design traduit un besoin souvent exprimé par un tiers au travers de différents médias, et notamment le document de brief du projet. Les designers doivent alors entrer, comme les traducteurs, dans une forme de négociation avec différents acteurs et situations. Comme le montre Walter Benjamin (1968), en traductologie, cette négociation peut reposer sur deux approches opposées : l’une relevant du traduisible et l’autre du traductible. La première fige les langues et leur nature malléable, au contraire de la deuxième qui crée de nouvelles potentialités de langage. Dans le cas du design, l’activité interprétative débute généralement par la traduction d’un brief. Celui-ci est le matériau source à partir duquel le projet va prendre forme. Nous faisons ainsi l’hypothèse de penser le brief comme pouvant porter en lui des paramètres menant les designers à adopter l’une ou l’autre de ces deux approches (traductible ou traduisible). Notre analyse de cinq briefs, issus d’entreprises différentes, nous permet ainsi de mettre en lumière certains de ces paramètres fondamentaux comme : l’influence de la circulation des versions d’un brief sur les stratégies de conception, la projection mutuelle de postures entre les acteurs, ou encore l’écart ou l’alignement des horizons d’attentes de chacune des parties prenantes. Ces paramètres nous amènent ainsi à considérer le brief comme un appareil génératif, invitant à explorer des possibles, en opposition à un dispositif inhibant le travail créatif.
Images et textes opératifs en design : énoncer, traduire les concepts, en et hors contexte
Authors: Tortochot Éric , Rey Véronique , Romain Christina
Published: July 2022

Les images et textes qui constituent les formes d’énonciation du designer sont des instruments opératifs propices à traduire les concepts émergeant au sein d’un projet de design. La traduction des concepts est mise à l’épreuve d’une suite de passages au fur et à mesure de l’évolution des besoins du client. Ces gestes qui conduisent à des représentations et à des formes d’énonciation d’états désirés d’un artefact, à savoir un objet fabriqué par l’homme, sont adressés à plusieurs interlocuteurs, spécialistes ou non de la conception. Les documents sont des informations sur l’artefact, de natures verbales et non verbales, de type technique, conceptuel, esthétique, professionnel. Leurs « traductions » constituent une assistance ou un obstacle à la compréhension des modèles produits par les designers. Afin d’illustrer les contraintes en jeu dans une activité de conception, cette étude s’appuie sur un cas concret qui implique des allers-retours énonciatifs (reformulation, transmutation et transposition). Il s’agit d’une commande de design graphique pour des fiches d’information aboutissant à un échec, une rupture de mandat. Les entretiens courriel, un entretien audio et les productions graphiques constituent le corpus d’analyse. L’approche est pluridisciplinaire (sciences cognitives et sciences du langage). Elle permet d’objectiver l’absence de représentation partagée, c’est-à-dire de « traduction énonciative ». Cette traduction énonciative n’a pas lieu car les interactions langagières ne tiennent compte ni des informations techniques ni du corpus terminologique propre à l’entreprise. « L’écart de traduction énonciative » entre le mandat réalisé et la réponse graphique est trop important pour permettre au système d’intercompréhension de fonctionner. L’adaptation de l’écriture graphique au service du client n’est pas réalisée. L’échec du mandat s’explique donc par une absence d’élaboration d’une représentation partagée (via les concepts du design) et illustre ainsi la nécessité de cette traduction énonciative entre les interlocuteurs.

Authors: Pitzel Allyson , Sanders Sara , Jolivette Kristine , Rollins Lauren Hart
Published: July 2022

Self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) is as evidence-based writing practice and has been applied with youth in restrictive education settings to address writing issues. This chapter will describe the writing characteristics of youth in these settings, synthesize SRSD applications in persuasive/informational genres specific to this population, and discuss the measures employed. The chapter concludes with implications for research, implications for practitioners and researchers, and considerations for integrating SRSD into treatment and programming for youth in these settings. A list of SRSD contextual considerations and resources with websites is provided in the appendix section. A list of key terms, definitions, and additional readings are provided.
Writing as a Form of Agency and Advocacy
Authors: Wright Katherine Landau , Hodges Tracey S.
Published: July 2022

This chapter argues that quality writing instruction that supports students' motivation and self-efficacy as writers is essential for those students to become future advocates and change-makers in their communities. This chapter is organized to support this perspective by first exploring the challenges of teaching writing in the middle grades, to better understand why so many students receive substandard writing instruction. The sections that follow explore the relationship between writing achievement and motivation and build the connection between writing motivation and equity. Finally, the authors make recommendations for classroom practices that help develop writing motivation in the middle grades and thus support more equitable outcomes for all students.
Toward an Antiracist Assessment Ecology
Authors: Villanueva Nayelee , Carter Amanda
Published: July 2022

Through our language standards and judgements, white language dominance is encouraged because they stem historically from a white racial formation in the Western world. The purpose of this chapter is to contribute to the discussion of how these habits of white language (HOWL) are found in traditional writing assessment practices and feedback. This chapter focuses on deconstructing and reconstructing Brown's approach to instructor-student conferencing (ISC) as feedback to student writing and reframes the ISC conference through an antiracist and dialogic pedagogy where student conferences become a space that decenter HOWL and emphasize students' rights to their own language and languaging. This chapter presents a dialogic framework and critical reflection questions for writing instructors that aims to promote more equitable writing assessment and feedback via the dialogical writing conference.
Tourism, Health, and Quality of Life for All
Authors: Perinotto André Riani Costa , Martins Cintia
Published: July 2022

Some hospitals improving their service structure, a greater number of people having access to a quality medical service, and above all, greater demand from a public with special needs make many entrepreneurs combine medical treatment with a quality service, such as that provided by the hotel chain. Many definitions of quality are used in different sectors in different sciences. This chapter explores tourism, health, and quality of life.
Intersectionality Between Racism and Sexism in the Brazilian Airline Industry
Authors: Oliveira Natália Araújo de , Gabrielli Cassiana , Santos Gabriela Nicolau dos , Borges Laiara Amorim
Published: July 2022

This work aims to discuss the barriers of access and permanence of Black woman crewmembers in the Brazilian airline industry as well as resistance strategies faced by them. Using intersectionality in a theoretical-methodological way, this research, of qualitative nature, carried out interviews with six Black women of the aforementioned sector. The work revealed how the airline industry is an elitist environment that excludes Black bodies, making use of the domination of structural, cultural, disciplinary, and interpersonal powers in order to give white subjects the advantage. However, it was also possible to perceive strategies of affronting, which involve the union of the Black airline industry workers into a collective—the Quilombo Aéreo—helmed by women who sought to open opportunities for the insertion of more Black people into the airline industry, taking care of the mental health of the ones who already work there, and also be a beacon for support.
A Bibliometrics and Text Analytics Review of Games and Gamification in Education
Authors: Ruipérez Valiente Jose A.
Published: July 2022

Over the last decade, we have seen a large amount of research performed on technology-enhanced learning. Within this area, the use of games and gamification in education has gained popularity over the years. In this work, the author aim to identify the main topics in these areas within the last 10 years. The researchers propose a new methodology to conduct text analytics-driven topic analysis following a bibliometrics and text analytics-driven approach. The authors collected all the metadata from 7815 papers in these areas over the last 10 years. The author used it to find the main topics across the papers and hidden relationships between author and papers. The analysis in this work has focused on three main objectives: 1) discover the main topics in games and gamification in education based on paper keywords and topic modeling; 2) discover the evolution of said topics over the last ten years of research; and 3) discover how papers and authors from different communities have interacted over the years from a network's perspective.

Authors: Cezar Vinicius Lunkes , Botelho Viviane Rodrigues , Garcia Patrick Vicente , Miletto Evandro Manara
Published: July 2022

Grabbing students' attention is becoming more challenging in the digital age, distance education, and increasing low literacy. This complex educational phenomenon needs to be mitigated to prevent negative social and economic consequences. This work presents the use of gamification in higher education to engage and motivate students in Calculus, a course that traditionally presents high failure and dropout rates. The main goal is to report an experience developing an RPG-style educational digital game to be used and tested in part of the course during one semester. The project applied concepts of gamification, educational digital games, digital game-based learning, and the theory of meaningful learning as a theoretical basis for the formulation of the game. The results showed positive acceptance of this approach by the students and an increase of interest in proceeding with using the game for learning purposes. According to the results, 73% of students declared the game contributes to the learning process, and 82% showed interest in using the game for the whole semester.

Digital game-based learning (DGBL) is a novel methodology implemented in many educational virtual settings to improve students´ attention, motivation, and engagement while learning. This chapter aims to provide insight into how game-based methods can enhance students' learning process with sensory, intellectual, and learning disabilities. Specifically, the key of this chapter is to assess the possibilities offered by the introduction of DGBL in educational contexts from a theoretical perspective to understand better the range of opportunities that it can mean for learning and, therefore, for the personal and professional development of people with sensory, intellectual, and learning disabilities.
Flow, Motivation, Social Interaction, and Design Issues of Serious Games in Education
Authors: Kara Nuri
Published: July 2022

This chapter aims to discuss the flow, motivation, social interaction, and design issues in serious games in education from a theoretical perspective. Serious games in education aim to improve students' skills or provide them with knowledge while entertaining. Flow theory indicates that balancing the difficulty level of a game with players' abilities helps immerse players in serious gameplay. Intrinsic motivation components in serious games contribute to players' achievement of learning goals. Social presence and communication make it easier to understand players' interactions with friends, other players, and the game in serious online games designed for educational purposes. The serious game design process and its challenges help create serious games that meet students' needs and expectations. This chapter analyzes these concepts, their components, and how they interact or influence each other.
