MODERN CONCEPTS OF STUDYING PHRASEOLOGISMS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF FRAME REPRESENTATION AND THEORY OF CONCEPTUAL METAPHOR
Authors:   Researcher Of The Fergana State University Fergana, Uzbekistan, Aliyeva Navruza
Published: February 2022

In the works of recent years along with pragmatic studies of phraseological units, which are still topical, emerged a confident trend for consideration of the phraseological units from the positions of pragmatic linguistics and cognitive linguistics. This article considers how the structures of linguistic knowledge are presented in human mind and how this mental structures take part in language comprehension and production. Further, frame modelling is analyzed in details, with examples on three languages, as the opportunity of structuring the cognition of meaning of the expressions. Moreover, here is conducted the separate consideration of slots of various frames, their meaning in language and the process of division into subframes; frame notion of metalexeme is also given. On the example of the concept of prominent American linguists is drawn attention to such a feature of phrase as the metaphor, imagery and is stated that metaphor does not extend beyond the sphere of language, but it also covers the sphere of thoughts. After reviewing the carried out works it must be concluded that, phraseology appear in the result of metaphorical transfer, reinterpretation of meaning of free word combinations. In every language the metaphor comes into existence based on the specificities of native speakers’ mindset, which is related to ethnocultural and historical characteristics of country. In the result it is understood that, the majority of reviewed conceptual metaphors are identical in the researched languages. This confirms the fact that, metaphorical mechanism possesses universal nature.

The present research work is mainly focussed on development of a novel, rapid, accurate and stability indicating UPLC method by using an advanced separation technique called Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography, for the quantitative analysis of Pomalidomide in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms. This is a modified form of HPLC technique in which there is a significant increase in sensitivity, resolution and rapidity. The operation was carried out on a Waters Acquity UPLC instrument. Data acquisition and processing was done using Empower 2 software. The drug was eluted on an Acquity BEH C18 (50×2.1mm id, 1.7µm) analytical column with mobile phase containing 0.01M Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (adjusted to pH 3.5 using 0.1% dilute orthophosphoric acid (30%): Acetonitrile (70%). 0.3ml min-1 flow rate was maintained and the study was performed at 225nm using TUV detector. The drug was found to be retained at 1.682min. The number of theoretical plates and asymmetry was also found to be within the acceptance criteria. Method validation was carried out according to the ICH guidelines and the parameters namely- accuracy, precision, linearity, robustness, ruggedness, specificity, LOD and LOQ were studied. It was found that 5-30µg/ml was the linearity range and all other parameters result were found to be within the limits. Pomalidomide drug was stressed to acid, alkali, oxidative, thermal, hydrolytic and photolytic degradation and the results revealed that the developed method was capable to segregate all the degraded products from the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Hence this method can be used for routine quality estimation of drug analysis.

Published: February 2022

In the absence of organic matter, the soil is an inert matter and cannot sustain productivity. The soil fertility scenario of Pakistan depicts low organic matter status and low nitrogen contents and has low use efficiency. This study was initiated during 2017-18 to enhance soil nitrogen contents and organic matter through green manuring and augmentation of N use efficiency under agro-ecological condition of Quetta. This experiment consists of five treatments (T1 = Green manuring (GM); T2 = GM +25% recommended N (30 kg N ha-1); T3 = GM+50% N (60 kg N ha-1); T4 = GM+75% N (90 kg N ha-1); T5 = GM+100% N (120 kg N ha-1) and three replications based on randomized complete block design (RCBD). The results revealed that all the study parameters except plant height and chlorophyll contents were improved when 75 and 100% recommended N were applied to wheat crops after green manuring. Green manuring helped in enhancing soil N level when 75% recommended N was applied because both 75 and 100% N expressed statistically at par differences for wheat traits and yield. In addition, green manuring increased NUE by 68.9, 147.0, 126.2, and 100.8% across different N percentages (25, 50, 75 and 100%). However, without the addition of nitrogen fertilizer, only green manuring could not meet the N requirement of wheat crops. Consequently, it is inferred that green manuring helped in enhancing soil organic matter and total nitrogen when N fertilizer was applied to the wheat crop. It is suggested that various green manure crops can be evaluated to augment SOM and TN for the succeeding crop.
Near-infrared Polarization from Unresolved Disks around Brown Dwarfs and Young Stellar Objects

Published: February 2022

Wide-field near-infrared (NIR) polarimetry was used to examine disk systems around two brown dwarfs (BDs) and two young stellar objects (YSOs) embedded in the Heiles Cloud 2 (HCl2) dark molecular cloud in Taurus as well as numerous stars located behind HCl2. Inclined disks exhibit intrinsic NIR polarization due to scattering of photospheric light, which is detectable even for unresolved systems. After removing polarization contributions from magnetically aligned dust in HCl2 determined from the background star information, significant intrinsic polarization was detected from the disk systems of one BD (ITG 17) and both YSOs (ITG 15, ITG 25), but not from the other BD (2M0444). The ITG 17 BD shows good agreement of the disk orientation inferred from the NIR and from published Atacama Large Millimeter/submillieter Array dust continuum imaging. ITG 17 was also found to reside in a 5200 au wide binary (or hierarchical quad star system) with the ITG 15 YSO disk system. The inferred disk orientations from the NIR for ITG 15 and ITG 17 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the local magnetic field direction. The multiplicity of the system and the large BD disk nature could have resulted from formation in an environment characterized by misalignment of the magnetic field and the protostellar disks.

Published: February 2022

Asymptotic giant branch stars create a rich inventory of molecules in their envelopes as they lose mass during later stages of their evolution. These molecules cannot survive the conditions in interstellar space, where they are exposed to ultraviolet photons of the interstellar radiation field. As a result, daughter molecules are the ones injected into space, and a halo of those molecules is predicted to exist around cool evolved stars. The most abundant molecule in the envelopes other than H2 is CO, which dissociates into C that is rapidly ionized into C+ in a halo around the star that is optically thin to the interstellar radiation field. We develop the specific predictions of the ionized carbon halo size and column density for the well-studied, nearby star IRC+10216. We compare those models to observations of the [C ii] 157.7 μm far-infrared fine structure line using the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy and Herschel. The combination of bright emission toward the star and upper limits to extended [C ii] is inconsistent with any standard model. The presence of [C ii] toward the star requires some dissociation and ionization in the inner part of the outflow, possibly due to a hot companion star. The lack of extended [C ii] emission requires that daughter products from CO photodissociation in the outer envelope remain cold. The [C ii] profile toward the star is asymmetric, with the blueshifted absorption due to the cold outer envelope.

The Gaia Alert System issued an alert on 2020 August 28, on Gaia 20eae when its light curve showed a ∼4.25 magnitude outburst. We present multiwavelength photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations of this source since 2020 August and identify it as the newest member of the FUor/EXor family of sources. We find that the present brightening of Gaia 20eae is not due to the dust-clearing event but due to an intrinsic change in the spectral energy distribution. The light curve of Gaia 20eae shows a transition stage during which most of its brightness (∼3.4 mag) has occurred on a short timescale of 34 days with a rise rate of 3 mag/month. Gaia 20eae has now started to decay at a rate of 0.3 mag/month. We have detected a strong P Cygni profile in Hα, which indicates the presence of winds originating from regions close to the accretion. We find signatures of very strong and turbulent outflow and accretion in Gaia 20eae during this outburst phase. We have also detected a redshifted absorption component in all of the Ca ii IR triplet lines consistent with a signature of hot infalling gas in the magnetospheric accretion funnel. This enables us to constrain the viewing angle with respect to the accretion funnel. Our investigation of Gaia 20eae points toward magnetospheric accretion being the phenomenon for the current outburst.
A Hot Subdwarf Model for the 18.18 minutes Pulsar GLEAM-X
Authors: Loeb Abraham , Maoz Dan
Published: February 2022

We suggest that the recently discovered, enigmatic pulsar with a period of 18.18 minutes, GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3, is most likely a hot subdwarf (proto white dwarf). A magnetic dipole model explains the observed period and period-derivative for a highly magnetized (∼108 G), hot subdwarf of typical mass ∼0.5M
⊙ and radius ∼0.3R
⊙, and an age of ∼3 × 104 yr. The subdwarf spin is close to its breakup speed and its spindown luminosity is near its Eddington limit, likely as a result of accretion from a companion.

Convection is efficient when advection matters much more than thermal diffusion. Despite this conceptually simple definition, there are several different measures of convective efficiency which are not quite equivalent. Here we recall the definitions of these measures and examine how they are related in different limits.
Comparative cytogenetics on eight Malagasy Mantellinae (Anura, Mantellidae) and a synthesis of the karyological data on the subfamily
Authors: Mezzasalma Marcello , Andreone Franco , Odierna Gaetano , Guarino Fabio Maria , Crottini Angelica
Published: February 2022

We performed a molecular and cytogenetic analysis on different Mantellinae species and revised the available chromosomal data on this group to provide an updated assessment of its karyological diversity and evolution. Using a fragment of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA, we performed a molecular taxonomic identification of the samples that were used for cytogenetic analyses. A comparative cytogenetic analysis, with Giemsa’s staining, Ag-NOR staining and sequential C-banding + Giemsa + CMA + DAPI was performed on eight species: Gephyromantis sp. Ca19, G. striatus (Vences, Glaw, Andreone, Jesu et Schimmenti, 2002), Mantidactylus (Chonomantis) sp. Ca11, M. (Brygoomantis) alutus (Peracca, 1893), M. (Hylobatrachus) cowanii (Boulenger, 1882), Spinomantis prope aglavei “North” (Methuen et Hewitt, 1913), S. phantasticus (Glaw et Vences, 1997) and S. sp. Ca3. Gephyromantis striatus, M. (Brygoomantis) alutus and Spinomantis prope aglavei “North” have a karyotype of 2n = 24 chromosomes while the other species show 2n = 26 chromosomes. Among the analysed species we detected differences in the number and position of telocentric elements, location of NOR loci (alternatively on the 6th, 7th or 10th pair) and in the distribution of heterochromatin, which shows species-specific patterns. Merging our data with those previously available, we propose a karyotype of 2n = 26 with all biarmed elements and loci of NORs on the 6th chromosome pair as the ancestral state in the whole family Mantellidae. From this putative ancestral condition, a reduction of chromosome number through similar tandem fusions (from 2n = 26 to 2n = 24) occurred independently in Mantidactylus Boulenger, 1895 (subgenus Brygoomantis Dubois, 1992), Spinomantis Dubois, 1992 and Gephyromantis Methuen, 1920. Similarly, a relocation of NORs, from the putative primitive configuration on the 6th chromosome, occurred independently in Gephyromantis, Blommersia Dubois, 1992, Guibemantis Dubois, 1992, Mantella Boulenger, 1882 and Spinomantis. Chromosome inversions of primitive biarmed elements likely generated a variable number of telocentric elements in Mantella nigricans Guibé, 1978 and a different number of taxa of Gephyromantis (subgenera Duboimantis Glaw et Vences, 2006 and Laurentomantis Dubois, 1980) and Mantidactylus (subgenera Brygoomantis, Chonomantis Glaw et Vences, 1994, Hylobatrachus Laurent, 1943 and Ochthomantis Glaw et Vences, 1994).

Pleocatenata, a new genus, is introduced with its type species, Pleocatenata chiangraiensis, which was isolated from withered twigs of two medicinal plants, Clerodendrum quadriloculare (Blanco) Merr (Verbenaceae) and Tarenna stellulata (Hook.f.) Ridl (Rubiaceae) in northern Thailand. The genus is characterized by mononematous, septate, brown or dark brown conidiophores, monotretic conidiogenous cells and catenate, obclavate, olivaceous to blackish brown conidia. Phylogenetic analysis of combined LSU, SSU, tef1-α, rpb2 and ITS sequence data showed Pleocatenata forms a distinct phylogenetic lineage in Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes. Therefore, we treat Pleocatenata as Pleosporales genera incertae sedis based on morphology and phylogenetic analyses. Descriptions and illustrations of the new taxa are provided, and it is compared with morphologically similar genera.
Using leaf functional traits to remotely detect Cytisus scoparius (Linnaeus) Link in endangered savannahs
Authors: Hacker Paul W. , Coops Nicholas C.
Published: February 2022

Identification of invasive plant species must be accurate and timely for management practices to be successful. Currently, Cytisus scoparius (Scotch broom) is expanding unmonitored across North America’s west coast, threatening established ecological processes and altering biodiversity. Remote detection of leaf functional traits presents opportunities to better understand the distribution of C. scoparius. This paper demonstrates the capacity for remotely sensed leaf functional traits to differentiate C. scoparius from other common plant species found in mixed grassland-woodland ecosystems at the leaf- and canopy-levels. Retrieval of leaf nitrogen percent, specifically, was found to be significantly higher in C. scoparius than each of the other 22 species sampled. These findings suggest that it may be possible to accurately detect introduced C. scoparius individuals using information collected from leaf and imaging spectroscopy at fine spatial resolutions.

Pour une réflexion sur l’éthique et la morale dans les discours sur l’usage des écrans par les enfants
Authors: Laborde Barbara
Published: February 2022

Cet article s’appuie sur l’ouvrage de Gilbert Simondon Le mode d’existence des objets techniques (Simodon 1958), pour montrer que l’accusation portée contre les écrans et leur consommation s’explique par certaines représentations ancrées dans l’histoire des techniques et des sociétés humaines. Des ouvrages à destination du grand public sont étudiés comme exemples de résistances exprimées face aux nouveautés technologiques visant particulièrement à sauver les enfants de pratiques jugées délétères. Une analyse sémiologique des discours et de leurs implicites permet de montrer que les débats récurrents autour de l’enfant face aux écrans révèlent finalement une visée plus moralisatrice que scientifique, non exempte d’un certain mépris de classe. Une fois ces paradigmes conscientisés, sans doute peut-on s’acheminer vers une véritable mise en débat de l’éthique de la télévision et des écrans.
The impact of the M-learning methodology on university students
Authors: Romero Ramos Oscar , Fernández Rodríguez Emilio , López Fernández Iván , Merino Marbán Rafael , Benítez Porres Javier
Published: February 2022

Our goal in this paper is to analyse the impact of the implementation of M-Learning methodology on the motivation and assimilation of academic contents. A total of 283 university students participated in our study. They were assessed on two different occasions. For the assessment, a 10-question multiple-answer test set up in the Socrative mobile applications was used. To take into consideration the students’ opinion on the experiment a satisfaction survey was used. The results from the global satisfaction survey show that the M-Learning methodology is perceived as a motivating tool (74.6%) which generates a more pleasant environment in the classroom (71%), increases student satisfaction attending classes (80.5%) and helps students acquire learning contents better (72.5%). The repetition and frequency of use of the application increased the final score in all groups (initial-final assessment: 5.9 vs 7.4 points). Data obtained suggest that the M-Learning methodology as a facilitator of content assimilation is useful in the academic environment and is a useful tool for improving the teaching-learning process too.
Supporting Dietary Change for the Treatment of Mood Disorders in Adults: How Can We Harness Digital Platforms?
Authors: Young Claire L. , Rocks Tetyana , Opie Rachelle S. , Berk Michael , O'Neil Adrienne
Published: February 2022

Extensive epidemiological data show an association between diet and mental health. Now, emerging data from intervention studies show dietary interventions can be effective in the treatment of a range of psychiatric disorders, particularly depression. This has led to guidelines for mood disorders now containing recommendations that lifestyle-based approaches, including dietary change, form “foundational” treatment. However, without direct access to a dietitian, there are challenges for mental health clinicians implementing these recommendations and consumers initiating and maintaining dietary improvements in the context of their mental disorder. Digital delivery of evidence-based dietary interventions may help overcome these challenges. This paper discusses practical learnings from our experiences piloting digital dietary interventions with participants experiencing depressive symptoms and the current evidence base to aid the translation of digital dietary programs in psychiatry and mental health settings.

Interventions for Rural Caregiver Health: An Integrative Review
Authors: Braley Tamara , Eisenhauer Christine , Rowland Sheri A.
Published: February 2022

Few health behavior interventions exist for rural caregivers of persons with dementia (PWD) in the United States. Of interventions that have been studied, little is known about health outcomes that are included in interventions and which interventions are most effective on health outcomes. An integrative literature review of intervention studies for rural caregiver health throughout the United States was undertaken with an emphasis on concepts related to health promotion, self-management, self-care, and/or self-efficacy. Findings from this review indicated multicomponent interventions that included self-care strategies were associated with improvements of caregiver psychosocial health outcomes of depression, burden, self-efficacy, social support, and self-rated health. Sleep problems and endurance potential were the only physical health outcomes measured. To prevent adverse physical health outcomes, interventions with attention to rural context are needed that emphasize health promotion with a focus on health behaviors and health outcome measurement in rural caregivers of PWD.

Mathematical study for Zika virus transmission with general incidence rate

An appropriate mathematical model for describing the Zika virus transmission with nonlinear general incidence rate was proposed. The basic reproduction number $ \mathcal{R}_0 $ was calculated using the next generation matrix method. Analysis of the local and the global stability of the equilibrium points was detailed using Jacobian linearisation method and Lyapunov theory, respectively. We proved that the disease-free equilibrium is locally and globally asymptotically stable when $ \mathcal{R}_0 $ is small than 1, and the infected equilibrium point is locally and globally asymptotically stable when $ \mathcal{R}_0 $ is greater than 1. The overall sensitivity analysis is based on statistical tools. This method consists of varying the parameters of the model to study one by one and then observe the effect of this variation on the model output. Sensitivity indices quantifying the influence of parameters on the output, always depend on the sample list of parameters. Later, we used optimal control to examine the effect of treatment where the purpose is to minimize the number of infected individuals with optimal treatment cost by applying Pontryagin's maximum principle. Therefore, we formulated an optimal control problem using the most parameter that influences the model output as a control parameter. The existence of the solution was proved and characterized using adjointt variables. Finally, a numerical scheme was applied to solve the coupled systems. Obtained results are validated numerically.

where $ \kappa $, $ q > 0 $, $ I_\alpha $ is a Riesz potential, $ \alpha\in (0, 2) $ and $ V \in \mathcal{C}({\mathbb R}^2, {\mathbb R}) $, $ F(t) = \int^t_0f(s){\rm{d}}s $. Under appropriate assumptions on $ f $ and $ V(x) $, by using the variational methods, we establish the existence of ground state solutions of the above equation.
Using the SEIR model to constrain the role of contaminated fomites in spreading an epidemic: An application to COVID-19 in the UK

The use of the SEIR model of compartmentalized population dynamics with an added fomite term is analysed as a means of statistically quantifying the contribution of contaminated fomites to the spread of a viral epidemic. It is shown that for normally expected lifetimes of a virus on fomites, the dynamics of the populations are nearly indistinguishable from the case without fomites. With additional information, such as the change in social contacts following a lockdown, however, it is shown that, under the assumption that the reproduction number for direct infection is proportional to the number of social contacts, the population dynamics may be used to place meaningful statistical constraints on the role of fomites that are not affected by the lockdown. The case of the Spring 2020 UK lockdown in response to COVID-19 is presented as an illustration. An upper limit is found on the transmission rate by contaminated fomites of fewer than 1 in 30 per day per infectious person (95% CL) when social contact information is taken into account. Applied to postal deliveries and food packaging, the upper limit on the contaminated fomite transmission rate corresponds to a probability below 1 in 70 (95% CL) that a contaminated fomite transmits the infection. The method presented here may be helpful for guiding health policy over the contribution of some fomites to the spread of infection in other epidemics until more complete risk assessments based on mechanistic modelling or epidemiological investigations may be completed.
Rapid assessment of communication consistency: sentiment analysis of public health briefings during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Bulut Okan ,   Centre for Research in Applied Measurement and Evaluation, Faculty of Education, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada, Poth Cheryl N.
Published: February 2022

Background

A key component of the initial public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic involved the use of mass media briefings led by public health officials to communicate updates during a time of great uncertainty and rapidly changing information. This study aims to examine the consistency of communications expressed during the public health briefings to generate novel insights about the type, direction, and strength of public health messages. The data source included 131 readily accessible public health briefings alongside the provincial and national new confirmed case counts during the first two waves of rapidly increasing cases during the pandemic in Alberta, Canada. We employed sentiment analysis as a text mining technique to explore the types and frequency of words in public health briefings conveying positive and negative sentiments. Using statistical analyses and data visualizations, we examined how public health messaging shifted with case trends.

Results

Our findings indicate consistent public health messaging in terms of sentiments regardless of case count fluctuations, an association of specific words with conveying positive and negative sentiments, and a focus on particular message patterns at different points during the first two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusion

Our findings demonstrate the practical implications and methodological advantages of using sentiment analysis as a data analytics tool for rapidly and objectively assessing the consistency of health communications during a public health crisis.
Developing Intercultural Education
Authors: Vižintin Marijanca Ajša
Published: February 2022

The paper discusses the role of teachers in the inclusion of migrant students and provides some suggestions for the active engagement of teachers in developing intercultural education, with examples from Slovenia. To support teachers who develop intercultural competence among all students, it is important to include concrete learning objectives in the syllabuses, in the framework of which teachers will be able to teach about social diversity. It will also be necessary to introduce content about multiethnic, multilingual, and multireligious society into the academic programmes, so that (future) teachers are more prepared for a diverse school environment and the development of an intercultural society.

À la découverte du Cinéma du diable / Regard sur le film fantastique français (1966). Une anthologie visuelle de Marcel L’Herbier
Authors: Azzouz Abdallah
Published: February 2022

Le Cinéma du diable, anthologie visuelle dédiée au cinéma fantastique, réalisée par Marcel L’Herbier en 1966, apparaît comme l’actualisation de Phantasmes, un projet de film expérimental, un film-manifeste annonçant l’avènement de l’esthétique féerique dans le cinéma des premiers temps, qui fut abandonné en 1918 en raison de la guerre. Avec le Cinéma du diable, le cinéaste veut montrer que l’essence de l’art cinématographique demeure « irrationnelle », en revenant notamment sur la philosophie epsteinienne dont il reprend l’interrogation : le cinéma « invention du diable » ? Question à laquelle L’Herbier répondait dans ses scénarios initiaux en présentant son film comme « un mélange irrationnel de rêves, de visions, d’imaginations ambiguës ou baroques qui forment le cinématographe ». Le Cinéma du diable apparaît ainsi comme la palingénésie d’une réflexion datant de l’époque de l’avant-garde cinématographique. Pour autant, cette anthologie visuelle, fruit des croisements des champs politique, médiatique, cinéphilique et pédagogique, s’interroge aussi sur les modalités de transmission audiovisuelle de l’histoire du cinéma. Suivant le triptyque « genèse, création et réception », on envisage le Cinéma du diable comme une fabrique culturelle stricto sensu. L’étude des archives permet en effet à la fois d’envisager la place de l’œuvre au sein des institutions éducatives, médiatiques, culturelles en France et à l’étranger, mais aussi d’observer comment L’Herbier s’est attaché à transmettre une lecture renouvelée de la culture visuelle et de comprendre comment la culture cinématographique tient de nos jours une place non négligeable dans les programmes d’enseignement ainsi que dans les contenus audiovisuels.
L’économie du ‘mouchoir’ : crédit et microcrédit à Venise au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Pompermaier Matteo
Published: February 2022

La littérature sur le crédit à l’époque moderne s’est souvent focalisée sur les Monts-de-piété, les prêteurs juifs et les notaires, considérés comme le noyau du système de crédit préindustriel. Cependant, pour la majorité des habitants des villes de l’Ancien Régime, le besoin presque quotidien d’obtenir de petits prêts était satisfait par d’autres voies, moins connues mais tout aussi fondamentales pour la fragile économie des couches populaires. En utilisant des sources d’archives inédites, ce volume analyse l’architecture du marché du crédit à Venise au XVIIIe siècle. Au sein de ce marché, il est apparu que osti (aubergistes) et bastioneri – gestionnaires des bastioni, entrepôts où le vin était vendu à emporter – occupaient une place centrale, à la fois comme fournisseurs de biens de première nécessité et prêteurs sur gage. Ils étaient un point de référence incontournable pour les franges les plus pauvres et vulnérables de la société, les protagonistes de ce que l’auteur appelle « l’économie du mouchoir » (economia del fazzoletto). Chaque année osti et bastioneri prenaient en gage des dizaines de milliers d’objets d’usage quotidien – la vraie « richesse » des pauvres – dans le cadre de transactions à mi-chemin entre crédit et consommation. Les coffres et les armoires des Vénitiens devenaient de véritables réserve de valeur, toujours disponibles pour être exploitées en cas de besoin : il s’agissait d’une ressource fondamentale, qui leur permettait de survivre, un mouchoir à la fois.

Cette étude s’intéresse aux facteurs d’influence des choix résidentiels qui déterminent pour partie au moins le niveau individuel d’exposition au risque des habitants dans les quartiers inondables du cinquième arrondissement de la ville de Niamey. À partir d’une enquête qualitative auprès des professionnels immobiliers, des gestionnaires des risques, des élus locaux et des habitants, l’étude a permis de mettre en évidence les facteurs surtout socioéconomiques et les raisons qui poussent les habitants à faire le choix d’habiter un quartier inondable tout en s’exposant aux inondations suite aux événements pluviométriques et hydrologiques extrêmes.
Enjeux de la mutation des techniques artisanales sur la formalisation de l’exploitation de l’or au Burkina Faso
Authors: Sawadogo Edith , Da† Dapola Evariste Constant
Published: February 2022

La formalisation de l’exploitation artisanale de l’or est recommandée par la Banque mondiale qui considère qu’elle favorise la minimisation des impacts néfastes. Selon certains auteurs, la mécanisation et le niveau élevé du prix de l’or à l’échelle internationale sont favorables à une formalisation efficace. Sur la base de recherches documentaires et d’enquêtes de terrain dans la commune de Kampti en mai 2018 et décembre 2019, nous démontrons que malgré la volonté des acteurs à sécuriser leurs investissements par la formalisation, ils se heurtent à des réalités institutionnelles et juridiques défavorables. Dans la nouvelle perspective de formaliser les sites d’or par l’Agence nationale d’encadrement des exploitations minières artisanales et semi-mécanisées (ANEEMAS), la mise à l’écart d’acteurs clés de la chaîne de commercialisation limite l’efficacité du processus de formalisation de l’activité.
Faire pays dans un cyberespace : le cas des Haïtiens en Île-de-France
Authors: Cadeau Rébecca
Published: February 2022

Cet article cherche à comprendre les impacts socio-spatiaux des usages des Technologies d’Informations et de Communication (TIC) dans un contexte diasporique. L’étude des usages des applications dédiées et des réseaux socionumériques, par des associations, permet d’analyser les façons dont les Haïtiens se rendent présents « ici », « là-bas » et « ailleurs » afin de continuer à « faire pays » dans les « territoires de la dispersion ». Nous explorons les mécanismes de structuration du groupe autour d’un « référent origine » grâce auquel les migrants « font corps » en dehors de leur société en y restant attachés et connectés à distance.

AI-Based Safety Production Accident Prevention Mechanism in Smart Enterprises
Authors: Fu Jing , Han Zipeng
Published: February 2022

Enterprises have accumulated a large number of accident data resources for safety production, but the corresponding safety production information processing capacity is insufficient, resulting in the value of massive data not being effectively used, and further restricting the in-depth study of accidents. Enterprise safety managers cannot learn lessons from historical accidents in a timely manner and effectively prevent them, leading to repeated occurrences of similar accidents. Therefore, based on the above problems, this paper aims to construct a mining process for the cause of safety production accidents based on LDA topic model. According to the accident data structure, select a data mining method suitable for its structural characteristics to maximize the utilization of accident data. According to the sequence of initial identification of accident information, discovery of safety problems, and transformation of safety knowledge, the valuable information in historical accident data can be fully excavated, so as to provide effective suggestions for accident prevention.
Time for Attitudinal Change and Critical Thinking
Authors: Kundu Arnab , Bej Tripti
Published: February 2022

The main purpose of this empirical study was to investigate the effects of blended learning on students’ learning attitude and critical thinking. Secondarily to probe into teachers’ perceptions on blending potentials in an underprivileged elementary classroom. A design study was conducted among 50 children from a fifth standard class of a government-run Indian elementary school. Findings revealed a significant difference in students' learning attitude towards the designed courses between the two cycles, in favour of the post blended implantation stage. This difference, which emerged during ten weeks, was found gender-neutral. The blended model was more effective for inspiring students’ critical thinking compared to the traditional learning model. Further, this study exclusively reports a positive correlation between students’ learning attitude and critical thinking faculties. The study concludes that blending was more effective for students’ learning attitude and critical thinking even in a school with poor technological infrastructure and underprepared yet willing teachers.
