Implantation d’ateliers de lecture interactive en centres de la petite enfance : pour l’intégration de nouvelles pratiques en éveil à la lecture et à l’écriture
Authors: Myre-Bisaillon Julie , Tremblay-Lemieux Charlotte , Paul Marianne , Ouellette Mathilde
Published: November 2024

Le présent article a pour objectif de présenter le processus d’implantation d’une série d’ateliers de lecture interactive en CPE de milieux ruraux défavorisés. En nous appuyant sur un modèle d’analyse tiré de la science de l’implantation, nous avons pu en dégager les composantes principales, en plus des éléments facilitateurs et des obstacles rencontrés par les éducatrices tout au long du processus. Des questionnaires autorapportés et un entretien final en groupe ont permis de recueillir les données qui ont servi à l’analyse. Il en est ressorti qu’une formation préalable était nécessaire, que le projet devait être assez flexible pour s’intégrer aux pratiques des éducatrices, plutôt que de s’y superposer, et que la relation entre les éducatrices et les enfants devait à la base être positive pour assurer la réussite de l’implantation des ateliers. L’ouverture et la réceptivité initiales des éducatrices et des enfants sont des facilitateurs importants et le manque de temps s’avère l’obstacle principal.

Published: November 2024

This research aims to identify findings from a literature review related to revenue recognition based on PSAK 72 in construction companies. Using a literature review method of 13 articles taken from Connected Papers, this research finds that PSAK 72, which is an adoption of IFRS 15, introduces significant changes in the way construction companies report income. Through a five-step model (contract identification, performance obligations, transaction price, price allocation, and revenue recognition), PSAK 72 provides greater transparency. Construction companies apply input (cost-to-cost) and output (milestone) methods to reflect project progress. Although it provides benefits in the form of reporting accuracy, PSAK 72 also presents challenges such as cost estimates, contract changes, and additional disclosures. This standard is expected to increase stakeholder confidence and provide a more realistic picture of the financial performance of construction companies.

The “Downward Compatibility” of Assmann's Cultural Memory
Authors: Wang Qin
Published: November 2024

Memory is related to the human brain as well as to social and cultural relations. Assmann's theory of “cultural memory” addresses the social relation of human “self”, memory crisis, and existential anxiety. Through the cultural interpretation of the core concepts of memory discourse, the analysis and interpretation of the characteristics of cultural memory, and with a sense of ontological security and history, Assmanns strengthen the cultural attributes and identity reflection in the memory of the past. Cross-cultural exchanges are being strengthened. At this time, we must better rely on the cultural turn of memory to construct national identity, understand cultural differences and particularities, and cultivate macro-cultural concern, due to the urgency in the era of globalization.

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Drought Characteristics Based on MODIS and GEE
Authors: Tian Rong
Published: November 2024

Drought is a major agricultural disaster that has long posed significant challenges to China's agriculture and ecological environment. Its latent, widespread, and vulnerability characteristics make it crucial to obtain effective large-scale, long-term remote sensing data for spatiotemporal analysis and drought forecasting. With the advancement of remote sensing technology, the spatiotemporal resolution of remote sensing data has improved, providing robust support for analyzing drought spatiotemporal variations. However, traditional remote sensing data analysis methods require extensive preprocessing, involve high computational costs, and face difficulties in data acquisition. These challenges highlight the need for remote sensing big data platforms. Google Earth Engine (GEE), a cloud-based platform, offers powerful data storage and analytical capabilities that effectively support large-scale remote sensing data processing. The Vegetation Supply Water Index (VSWI), which integrates vegetation conditions and surface temperature information, is a simple yet effective tool for drought assessment and demonstrates good correlation with the widely used Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). In this study, we used the GEE platform to construct VSWI based on MODIS datasets, utilizing Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data to conduct a temporal analysis of drought conditions in the three northeastern provinces of China from 2010 to 2020. A comparative analysis with PDSI revealed that VSWI effectively captures the trends in drought variation in the region, demonstrating good spatial and temporal consistency. The findings indicate that the VSWI drought index constructed on the GEE platform provides a simple and efficient method for drought assessment in the region, laying the foundation for developing more complex drought assessment models in the future.

Ten native plant species were studied to assess the VAM status. Root infection percentage and spore numbers were worked out. Argyreia sp. showed the highest (45%) root infection. Lowest root infection (17%) was found in case Borreria hispida. On the other hand, B. hispida harboured the highest number of spores in its rhizosphere (294 per 50 g of soil) and Clerodendron sp. lowest spores (40 per 50 g of soil.) Glomus was the most abundant VAM fungi associated with all the plants studied.
The Use of Artificial Intelligence by Students in Vocational Colleges in China and the United States

Published: November 2024

The rapid development of artificial intelligence, while promoting the progress of the times, has also brought unprecedented employment pressure on vocational school students. To adapt to the requirements of the times, vocational schools in both China and the United States have updated their curricula and teaching concepts to ensure that vocational school students can maximize their mastery of modern AI technology. This article employs interview and questionnaire surveys, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis to investigate the usage and proficiency of AI technologies among vocational school students. The research finds that the use of various AI technologies by students in vocational colleges varies across majors, with equipment availability, the scheduling of hands-on classes, and the frequency of school-enterprise cooperation all contributing to this difference. Although China and the United States share the same reform policies and educational goals, there are still differences in the details of teaching and learning implementation due to different national conditions. However, the findings suggest that it is still beneficial to offer AI-related courses at school. Familiarity with basic theoretical knowledge and practical experience can alleviate students' social anxiety and employment pressure to a certain extent. It can be seen that the reform of vocational education in the era of artificial intelligence in China and the United States is beginning to bear fruit.

Published: November 2024

With the rapid development of science and technology, cyberspace has become the main position for new types of criminal activities, and new types of cybercrime, with its non-contact, inter-temporal and covert characteristics, have posed a serious challenge to the traditional mode of crime governance. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the specific manifestations of new technology risks and the characteristics of new cybercrime under new technology risks, explore the ways of coping with new cybercrime under the traditional governance model, summarise the transformation paths of the new cybercrime governance model of the public force model, the private force model, and the multi-dimensional common governance model, and analyse in depth its potential risks and coping strategies. This paper summarises three apparent risks, including privacy leakage risk, system security risk and fraud risk, as well as three potential risks caused by the diversity of governance subjects, the coordination difficulties, the balance between data sharing and privacy protection, and the rapid changes in new cybercrime and the lagging behind of governance means, and puts forward three potential risks accordingly, namely, strengthening the principle of openness and standardisation, cultivating highly skilled and complex talents, and perfecting governmental governance. Accordingly, three measures are proposed to strengthen the principle of openness and standardisation, cultivate high-tech talents and improve the governmental governance mechanism, providing theoretical support and practical guidance for the construction of an efficient and coordinated new cybercrime governance system.

The Effect of Game Experience on Flow Zone
Authors: Xu Libuyu
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Flow theory is frequently combined with educational games to assess learning outcomes and offer guidance. Nevertheless, studying the impact of gaming experiences on players' flow zone is also an engaging topic. This paper constructed a model based on Csikszentmihalyis skill/challenge model. The underlying principle of this model is that the diverse ways in which players confront different game difficulties result in changes in the player's flow zone, and it discovers the objective role of emotions within it. Since the difficulty of Elden Ring is ideal for analyzing the skill/challenge balance model and a large player base provides a counterexample for study, it can be used to interpret many of the phenomena and player experiences in the game. Additionally, to further validate the model, qualitative interviews are conducted with about their experience of the flow of the game. The research identified that other factors of flow experience, such as total concentration and loss of self-consciousness, rather than skill/challenge balance, are more important for game players.
