Authors: Ganesh Dhondiraj Niturkar  , Arvind Rangnathrao Harbade  , K. U.Zine
Published: February 2024

Background: The Majority of the roads are narrow in India and unrepaired with multiple pits. Heavy traffic, rashand negligent driving lead to injuries to pedestrians and also cause fatal accidents.Method:450 pedestrians were brought to the Government Medical College and Hospital, Aurangabad, andstudied. Out of 450 cases, 63 (14%) had fatal fractures that were studied with an x-ray, CT scan, or MRI. Seriouspedestrians were admitted to the ICU; the remaining was treated by Orthopaedics and neurosurgeons.Results:128 (23.4%) were alcoholics, 54 (12%) had a visual problem, and 15 (3.2%) had Auditory problem: 38(8.44%)were mentally challenged (also included cases with psychiatric illness), 51(11.3%) were on antidepressanttreatment, 104 (23.1%) were busy in mobile speaking, and 60 (13.3%) were playing on the roadside. Maximumfractures observed were 107 (22.8%); cranial haemorrhage was followed by 98 (21.7%) fracture of the skull. Therewere 02 (0.44%) injuries to the kidney superficially or subcutaneously as four wheelers and two wheelers hit thepedestrians at the lumbar region, 3 (0.66%) in the aorta. The fatalities were 63 (14%). Among them, 40 (63.4%) hadhaemorrhage and shock; 16 (25.3%) had head injuries; 5 (7.93%) had septicaemia; and 2 (3.10%) had uraemia.Conclusion: Well-built roads, fencing or barriers for pedestrians, awareness of traffic rules, and stringentpunishment for both pedestrians and drivers of vehicles violating traffic rules can minimize pedestrian roadaccidents and fatalities.
Mulan y Disney: tradición milenaria china y cultura de masas contemporánea
Authors: Tian Yunjin , Martínez Sariego Mónica María
Published: February 2024

La Balada de Mulan ha experimentado un largo proceso de metamorfosis a lo largo del último milenio, tanto en la propia cultura china como en su transposición a Occidente. Su duradera popularidad se explica no solo por su interés narrativo, sino también por el carácter transgresor de la historia, aunque la ruptura del código indumentario acabe reencauzada dentro de los valores de la China premoderna. En este trabajo, como parte de un estudio más amplio sobre los avatares de Mulan, estudiamos las sucesivas metamorfosis experimentadas por este personaje en las versiones que la Factoría Disney ha ofrecido a la gran pantalla: Mulan (1998) en versión animada y Mulan (2020) en formato live action. Atenderemos, concretamente, a los fenómenos de adaptación, transculturación e hibridación, derivados del deseo de acomodar un mito de antigüedad milenaria al gusto de las audiencias globales contemporáneas. Que Disney sea uno de los más claros exponentes de la sociedad norteamericana y, además, uno de los pilares de la actual cultura de masas hace que discutir la dependencia de su Mulan con respecto a los originales literarios chinos resulte especialmente interesante. Esta conexión sería representativa de las tensiones que jalonan la siempre compleja relación entre medios discursivos (literatura-cine), regiones (Oriente-Occidente) y niveles culturales (alta cultura-cultura de masas).
Cine personal y estética de la fisicidad: una reconfiguración del realismo en el cine digital contemporáneo
Authors: García-Mainar Luis M.
Published: February 2024

El artículo analiza una reconfiguración del realismo en el cine contemporáneo marcada por las nuevas posibilidades de la tecnología digital. Mediante un estudio estilístico de Moonlight (2016), 120 pulsaciones por minuto (2017) y The Last Tree (2019) se exploran las características de un realismo asociado con lo personal y que los estudios de cine no han detectado ya que no coincide exactamente con los dictados de la autobiografía. El artículo propone un acercamiento más flexible a este realismo, ceñido al carácter personal de las historias y su lenguaje cinematográfico, al tiempo que lo sitúa en el marco de la doble lógica digital de inmediatez/hipermediación y analiza la estética de la fisicidad de las tres películas. El resultado es un realismo emparentado con el lenguaje documental de cierto cine estadounidense y europeo, que en su formulación contemporánea utiliza la fisicidad para sugerir autenticidad mediante un estilo intensamente subjetivo.

Provincialising Mannheim: what do youth in Benin and Austria have in common?
Authors: Alber Erdmute , Daniel Antje
Published: February 2024

Generational conflicts are increasingly addressed in media and in academic debate. Against this backdrop Karl Mannheim’s investigation of generational change can be brought back into focus. He argues that every generation is a potential for change, but this often goes hand in hand with a conflict between generations. From a postcolonial lens we challenge this universal conceptualisation of generational conflict: drawn from case studies in Benin and Austria we show that Mannheim’s argument has to be provincialised. Despite the different settings and methodological approaches, our results are similar: while young people perceive themselves as distinct from the older generation, and despite the rhetoric of rupture, no conflict can be observed in the concrete behaviour of the actors. Despite these similarities, it is important to witness the particular contexts, with specific, generational locations and specific spatial and temporal conditions. Only taking this into account, can it be said why, in what form, and in which contexts young people contribute to social change through the way they interact with other generations. Therefore, we want to question Mannheim’s assumption of a generational conflict and highlight the need to provincialise it as an engine of change.

Phylogenetic methods have long been used in biology and more recently have been extended to other fields—for example, linguistics and technology—to study evolutionary histories. Galaxies also have an evolutionary history and fall within this broad phylogenetic framework. Under the hypothesis that chemical abundances can be used as a proxy for the interstellar medium’s DNA, phylogenetic methods allow us to reconstruct hierarchical similarities and differences among stars—essentially, a tree of evolutionary relationships and thus history. In this work, we apply phylogenetic methods to a simulated disk galaxy obtained with a chemodynamical code to test the approach. We found that at least 100 stellar particles are required to reliably portray the evolutionary history of a selected stellar population in this simulation, and that the overall evolutionary history is reliably preserved when the typical uncertainties in the chemical abundances are smaller than 0.08 dex. The results show that the shapes of the trees are strongly affected by the age–metallicity relation, as well as the star formation history of the galaxy. We found that regions with low star formation rates produce shorter trees than regions with high star formation rates. Our analysis demonstrates that phylogenetic methods can shed light on the process of galaxy evolution.
Soft X-Ray Energy Spectra in the Wide-field Galactic Disk Area Revealed with HaloSat

Published: February 2024

We analyzed data from HaloSat observations for five fields in the Galactic disk located far away from the Galactic center (135° < l < 254°) to understand the nature of soft X-ray energy emission in the Galactic disk. The fields have 14° diameter and were selected to contain no significant high-flux X-ray sources. All five HaloSat soft X-ray energy spectra (0.4–7 keV with energy resolution of < 100 eV below 1 keV) show a possibility of the presence of unresolved high-temperature plasma in the Galactic disk (UHTPGD) with a temperature of 0.8–1.0 keV and an emission measure of (8–11) × 10−4 cm−6 pc in addition to the soft X-ray diffuse background components mainly studied at higher Galactic latitudes (solar wind charge exchange emission, Local Hot Bubble, Milky Way halo emission, and the cosmic X-ray background). This suggests that the UHTPGD is present across the whole Galactic disk. We also observed UHTPGD emission in a region with no bright sources in an XMM-Newton field contained within one of the HaloSat fields. The temperature and emission measure are consistent with those measured with HaloSat. Moreover, the stacked spectra of the X-ray pointlike sources and near-infrared-identified point sources such as stars in the XMM-Newton field also show a spectral feature similar to the UHTPGD emission. This suggests that the UHTPGD may partly originate from pointlike sources such as stars.
The Search for Failed Supernovae with the Large Binocular Telescope: The Mid-infrared Counterpart to N6946-BH1
Authors: Kochanek Christopher S. , Neustadt Jack M. M. , Stanek Krzysztof Z.
Published: February 2024

We present JWST MIRI 5.6, 10, and 21 μm observations of the candidate failed supernova N6946-BH1 along with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC/IR 1.1 and 1.6 μm data and ongoing optical monitoring data with the Large Binocular Telescope. There is a very red, dusty source at the location of the candidate, which has only ∼10%–15% of the luminosity of the progenitor star. The source is very faint in the HST near-IR observations (∼103
L
⊙) and is not optically variable to a limit of ∼103
L
⊙ at the R band. The dust is likely silicate and probably has to be dominated by very large grains, as predicted for dust formed in a failed supernova. The required visual optical depths are modest, so it should begin to significantly brighten in the near-IR over the next few years.

We report the discovery of two directly imaged, giant planet candidates orbiting the metal-rich, hydrogen atmosphere white dwarfs WD 1202−232 and WD 2105−82. JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) data on these two stars show a nearby resolved source at a projected separation of 11.47 and 34.62 au, respectively. Assuming the planets formed at the same time as their host stars, with total ages of 5.3 and 1.6 Gyr, the MIRI photometry is consistent with giant planets with masses ≈1–7 M
Jup. The probability of both candidates being false positives due to red background sources is approximately 1 in 3000. If confirmed, these would be the first directly imaged planets that are similar in both age and separation to the giant planets in our own solar system, and they would demonstrate that widely separated giant planets like Jupiter survive stellar evolution. Giant planet perturbers are widely used to explain the tidal disruption of asteroids around metal-polluted white dwarfs. Confirmation of these two planet candidates with future MIRI imaging would provide evidence that directly links giant planets to metal pollution in white dwarf stars.
Calcium Bright Knots and the Formation of Chromospheric Anemone Jets on the Sun
Authors: Singh Kunwar Alkendra Pratap , Nishida Keisuke , Shibata Kazunari
Published: February 2024

Space-based observations show that the solar atmosphere from the solar chromosphere to the solar corona is filled with small-scale jets and is linked with small-scale explosions. These jets may be produced by mechanisms similar to those of large-scale flares and such jets may be related to the heating of the corona and chromosphere as well as the acceleration of solar wind. The chromospheric anemone jets on the Sun remain puzzling because their footpoints (or bright knots) have not been well resolved and the formation process of such enigmatic small-scale jets remains unclear. We propose a new model for chromospheric jets using the 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations, which show that the continuous, upward rising of small-scale twisted magnetic flux ropes in a magnetized solar chromosphere drives small-scale magnetic reconnection and the launching of several small-scale jets during the evolution of the chromospheric anemone jets. Our new, self-consistent, 3D computer modeling of small-scale, but ever-changing flux rope emergence in the magnetized solar atmosphere is fully consistent with observations and provides a universal mechanism for nanoflare and jet formation.
Surface Charging of Jupiter’s Moon Europa
Authors: Reddy Sachin A. , Nordheim Tom A. , Harris Camilla D. K.
Published: February 2024

Europa’s surface is exposed to a constant flow of plasma from its ionosphere and Jupiter’s magnetosphere. As these particles flow onto the surface, an electrostatic surface potential forms. We investigate the electrostatic charging of Europa’s surface using 3D particle-in-cell simulations. We find that surface potentials on Europa vary from −14 to −52 V. The predicted surface potentials vary as a function of location on Europa, illumination conditions, plasma environment, and surface properties. We reveal that the ionosphere has a significant “dampening effect,” limiting the formation of large negative surface potentials. Furthermore, we find that secondary emission is a key factor in determining the surface charge on Europa. We discuss how such potentials may be remotely detected by upcoming missions, such as Europa Clipper and JUICE. Our results may also be of use in the design of future missions to Europa’s surface, such as landers and other robotic explorers.
Turbulently Driven Detonation Initiation in Electron-degenerate Matter with Helium
Authors: Casabona Gabriel O. , Fisher Robert T.
Published: February 2024

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are standardizable cosmological candles that led to the discovery of the accelerating Universe. However, the physics of how white dwarfs (WDs) explode and lead to SNe Ia is still poorly understood. The initiation of the detonation front that rapidly disrupts the WD is a crucial element of the puzzle, and global 3D simulations of SNe Ia cannot resolve the requisite length scales to capture detonation initiation. In this work, we elucidate a theoretical criterion for detonation initiation in the distributed burning regime. We test this criterion against local 3D driven turbulent hydrodynamical simulations within electron-degenerate WD matter consisting initially of pure helium. We demonstrate a novel pathway for detonation, in which strong turbulent dissipation rapidly heats the helium, and forms carbon nuclei sufficient to lead to a detonation through accelerated burning via α captures. Simulations of strongly driven turbulent conditions lead to detonations at a mean density of 106 g cm−3 and mean temperature of 1.4–1.8 × 109 K, but fail to detonate at a lower density of 105 g cm−3, in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions.
Primordial Orbital Alignment of Sednoids
Authors: Huang 黄 Yukun 宇坤 , Gladman Brett
Published: February 2024

We examined the past history of the three most detached trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs)—Sedna, 2012 VP113, and Leleakuhonua (2015 TG387)—the three clearest members of the dynamical class known as sednoids, with high perihelia distances q. By integrating backward their nominal (and a set of cloned) orbits for the solar system’s age, we surprisingly find that the only time all their apsidal lines tightly cluster was 4.5 Gyr ago, at perihelion longitude ϖ of 200°. This “primordial alignment” is independent of the observational biases that contribute to the current on-sky clustering in the large-semimajor-axis Kuiper Belt. If future sednoid discoveries confirm these findings, this strongly argues for an initial event during the planet formation epoch, which imprinted this particular apsidal orientation on the early detached TNO population. Their apsidal orientations were then subsequently modified only by the simple precession from the four giant planets (and weakly by the galactic tide). If other sednoids also cluster around the same primordial value, various models suggesting a still present planet in the outer solar system would be incompatible with this alignment. We inspected two scenarios that could potentially explain the primordial alignment. First, a rogue planet model (where another massive planet raises perihelia near its own longitude until ejection) naturally produces this signature. Alternatively, a close stellar passage early in solar system history raises perihelia, but it is poor at creating strong apsidal clustering. We show that all other known 35 < q < 55 au TNOs are either too perturbed or orbits are still too uncertain to provide evidence for or against this paradigm.
¿Un Contingente de la Legio IIII Macedonica en Varea (Logroño, La Rioja)?
Authors: Calonge Miranda Adrián
Published: February 2024

Alejandro Marcos Pous en 1972 estudió el epígrafe funerario de Cayo Valerio Donato, legionario de la IV Macedónica de Varea y pensó en la existencia de un contingente militar. En los 90, las excavaciones detectaron niveles julio-claudios y la inscripción del veterano Tertius. Urbano Espinosa Ruiz propuso en ese momento el origen de la Vareia en un campamento establecido tras las Guerras Cántabras. Con una cronología similar a la vareyense, se descubrió un vicus a 3 kilómetros al oeste durante la década de los 2000. Contando con estos antecedentes junto a una nueva inscripción funeraria, se procede al análisis del poblamiento rural, los paralelos en la evolución del campamento de Herrera de Pisuerga (Palencia) y la misma política militar durante los gobiernos de Augusto y Tiberio. Se busca realizar un estudio sobre el posible establecimiento de un conjunto de soldados de la legio IIII Macedonica en el actual barrio de Varea de Logroño.
"Our interaction was very productive": levels of reflection in learners' diaries in teletandem
Authors: Leone Paola , Aranha Solange , Marques Spatti Cavalari Suzi
Published: February 2024

This investigation aims to analyze what Brazilian participants say about teletandem interaction in their diaries and how (or if) they reflect upon it. Data are elicited from 350 diaries written in English and stored in MulTeC (Multimodal Teletandem Corpus) (Aranha & Lopes, 2019) and compiled by 333 fragments of text in which the most frequent word, "interaction", (Leone et al., ongoing) occurs. The analytical framework is based on Moon´s (2004) reflective writing and Garcia et al. (2017)'s proposal of metacognitive operations. Results reveal that 41% of the fragments featured mere descriptions of the events that occurred during the interaction, while most (59%) of them presented some degree of reflection. In our data, reflection seems to be based on: (i) the assessment of the interaction, in line with Garcia et al. (2017)´s proposal that assessment represents a frequent metacognitive operation; (ii) recognition of different elements that are relevant for language learning in teletandem, ie, partner's collaboration and task specificities. Our findings also indicate that the other metacognitive operations (setting goals, planning, selecting resources, managing emotions) support or motivate the judgments made by learners. This finding corroborates the notion proposed in other research (Moon, 2004, 2010) that writing diaries may promote reflection, which is a fundamental aspect of autonomous learning.
Quels effets du numérique et du multimédia sur les processus attentionnels des apprenants de langues ?
Authors: Roussel Stéphanie
Published: February 2024

En situation d'apprentissage des langues secondes, le numérique permet-il une centration ou entraine-t-il, au contraire, une division de l'attention portée au matériel langagier ? Favorise-t-il son traitement, dans quelles conditions, pour quels apprenants ? La psychologie cognitive décrit différentes dimensions de l'attention : la sélection d'informations, le traitement et la manipulation de ces informations en mémoire, ou encore la prise de conscience et le contrôle de son action. Dans ce texte, ces différentes facettes de l'attention permettent d'examiner, résultats d'expérimentations à l'appui, ce que le numérique modifie du point de vue de la répartition des ressources attentionnelles, quand il s'agit d'apprendre une langue seconde.

Le développement des compétences techno-sémio-pédagogiques en télécollaboration
Authors: Cappellini Marco
Published: February 2024

La télécollaboration a été largement utilisée dans la formation des enseignants (Dooly & Vinagre, 2022) et plusieurs projets de recherche ont exploré ce domaine. Cependant, ces études ont été soit des études de cas sur les données des échanges en ligne des étudiants dans un seul type de télécollaboration (par exemple, Dooly & Sadler, 2020), soit des études à grande échelle s'appuyant sur l'auto-évaluation des étudiants dans plusieurs télécollaborations (comme pour le projet Evaluate, cf. Baroni et al., 2019). Notre proposition vise à présenter un projet de recherche sur un grand ensemble de données interactionnelles provenant de quatre échanges virtuels afin d'identifier quelles compétences techno-pédagogiques (Guichon & Cohen, 2016) peuvent être développées en télécollaboration. Ce projet se base sur 84 sessions de visioconférence d'une heure chacune environ. Notre approche a suivi une analyse de conversation multimodale intégrant l'oculométrie (Cappellini & Hsu, 2022) et une approche comparative (Cappellini & Azaoui, 2017). Nous montrerons deux études qui ont été effectuées sur ce corpus dans lesquelles nous avons pu identifier quelles compétences sont développées au cours de la télécollaboration et, parmi celles-ci, quelles compétences techno-sémio-pédagogiques nécessitent une formation formelle pour être développées.

This article reports on different research and pedagogical practices that have been taking place as part of a transnational European Erasmus+ project aiming to strengthen the profile of Digital Citizenship Education (DCE) in the context of Foreign Language Education (FLE). In order to do this, this article briefly reviews some of the key concepts (eg critical digital literacies, democratic cultures) for an evolving definition and (re)conceptualization of digital citizenship in the context of FLE. Equally, a critical analysis of European documents concerning these important topics will be carried out to inform our proposed pedagogical framework, which will be suggested as the grounds for presenting the results of different DCE practices.The first of these practices is the development of resources for teachers to integrate DCE into foreign language learning followed by a training package for teachers. The results collected after piloting one component of the training package-the self-study online course-and the feedback received from the course participants' questionnaire, will be presented and discussed, together with a self-reflection tool for teachers. In addition, some qualitative data results will allow us to explore the perceptions of pre-service teachers regarding the challenges of integrating DCE into FLE. To conclude, some concrete recommendations will be given toward the development and implementation of DCE in foreign language education.

Published: February 2024

Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird das Citizen-Science-Projekt für Schulen VinKiamo vorgestellt und es wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie es dazu beiträgt, Soft Skills und sprachliches Wissen außerhalb des Klassenraums effektiv zu fördern. Vinkiamo ist im Jahr 2021 in Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Forschungsgruppe des VinKo-Projekts der Universität Verona und dem Schulamt der Region Venetien als Angebot im Rahmen der obligatorischen Aktivitäten des Programms des italienischen Kultusministeriums zur Förderung von fachübergreifenden Kompetenzen und Orientierung entstanden. Das Forschungsprojekt VinKo – Varietäten im Kontakt – beschäftigte sich mit der Erhebung, Dokumentation und Analyse von Sprachdaten aus den Dialekten und Minderheitensprachen im Nordosten Italiens. Es ist inzwischen vom Projekt AlpiLinK – Alpine Sprachen im Kontakt – abgelöst worden, das dieselben Ziele im größeren Maßstab für den gesamten italienischen Alpenbogen verfolgt. Die Datensammlung erfolgt online über eine Crowdsourcing-Plattform, wo die Ergebnisse der Erledigung von linguistischen Aufgaben als Tonaufnahmen gespeichert werden. An dieser Datenerhebung beteiligen sich die an VinKiamo teilnehmenden Schüler aktiv, indem sie als Forschungsassistenten nach Informanten suchen und bei der Erledigung der Aufgaben helfen. Wie den Feedbacks der bisher 265 teilnehmenden Schüler und ihrer Klassenlehrer zu entnehmen ist, führt dieses partizipative Projekt zur Entwicklung sozialer und digitaler Kompetenzen sowie zum Bewusstsein aktiver Bürgerschaft. Die Unterstützung der Informanten bietet den Schülern auch einen Anlass zur Erarbeitung von Mediationsstrategien und trägt zur Förderung plurilingualer und plurikultureller Kompetenzen bei.
Atouts et limites de tâches ancrées dans la vie réelle pour le développement de compétences langagières et de la citoyenneté numérique. Perceptions d'enseignants
Authors: Ollivier Christian , Perrot Laurent , Schmoll Laurence
Published: February 2024

La recherche a fait ressortir ces dernières années les bénéfices que divers apprenants de langues ont retiré de leur participation à des sites ouverts et participatifs, notamment en termes de développement des compétences langagières, tout particulièrement en langues additionnelles. Cela a amené divers chercheurs à s'interroger sur des pistes possibles pour exploiter le potentiel de telles participations dans le cadre d'un enseignement-apprentissage des langues. Les tâches ancrées dans la vie réelle semblent constituer une perspective intéressante d'autant qu'elles permettent d'intégrer l'éducation à la citoyenneté numérique à la didactique des langues. La présente recherche analyse les perceptions que des enseignants de langues ont des tâches ancrées dans la vie réelle, notamment en termes d'atouts et de limites pour l'enseignement-apprentissage des langues en général et pour l'éducation à la citoyenneté numérique. L'étude montre que les atouts identifiés sont plus nombreux que les limites, que des dimensions principales et intrinsèques des tâches ancrées dans la vie réelle sont identifiées et que les limites redoutées sont surtout liées au cadre institutionnel et à des questions de littératie insuffisante chez les apprenants et enseignants. Au niveau de la citoyenneté numérique on constate surtout un déficit d'information chez les enseignants et une difficulté évidente à faire le pont entre enseignement-apprentissage des langues et éducation à la citoyenneté numérique.
Revisiting Cultural and Global Learning? The Impact of Digital Citizenship on Foreign Language Education
Authors: Lütge Christiane
Published: February 2024

Recently, concepts of cultural and global learning have been faced with the challenge of integrating larger digital transformations in society into their scope. This is particularly interesting from the vantage point of Digital Citizenship Education (DCE). As an educational initiative, DCE seeks to empower children–and hence, learners–to thrive in a world that is thoroughly changing in light of digital advancements. While these initiatives and concepts rightly entail aspects as wide as creativity, active participation, information literacy, or critical reflection, their link to cultural and global learning in foreign language education has remained less clear. Questions that spring to mind, for example, include in what ways cultural diversity can become a classroom focus through the aid of digital media, in how far inter- and transcultural learning can be renegotiated or how learners can engage with global topics–including digitalization itself–from a participatory perspective. This article therefore tries to retrace research on DCE, identify how discourses on DCE and cultural as well as global learning can be merged, and present a multidimensional model for anchoring DCE within foreign language education and teaching practice.
Crises de la société, crises de l’enseignement
Authors: Isambert-Jamati Viviane

« Une chose est sûre : avec cette thèse prend fin l’époque facile des généralisations abusives sur le corps enseignant auquel chacun prêtait telle ou telle idée à sa guise. Un champ entier d’investigation bascule désormais dans le domaine des méthodes rigoureuses et positives. Dans l’histoire du discours que tient l’Université sur elle-même, cette étude historique des discours de prix marque une date importante. » Antoine Prost, Revue française de pédagogie, no 18, 1972, p. 63-66.
ENS Éditions propose avec cet ouvrage la réédition, dans la Bibliothèque idéale des sciences sociales, d’un texte majeur devenu aujourd’hui peu accessible. Issu de la thèse d’État de Viviane Isambert-Jamati, ce volume analyse, à partir d’une étude diachronique quantitative, le corpus des discours tenus par les professeurs durant un siècle, de 1860 à 1965, lors du rite de la distribution des prix. Ces discours sont l’occasion pour les récipiendaires d’évoquer l’institution qu’ils représentent, les valeurs de leur enseignement. L’analyse de Viviane Isambert-Jamati met en lumière les finalités poursuivies par ces derniers, l’adhésion ou la critique qu’ils expriment à l’égard des instructions officielles. Ce faisant elle propose au lecteur un objet particulièrement éclairant pour comprendre l’évolution de l’enseignement secondaire au regard de la société.
Le caractère exemplaire de sa thèse de doctorat lui vaudra à l’époque de figurer dans le manuel de référence Méthodes de la sociologie. Le vocabulaire des sciences sociales de Raymond Boudon et Paul Lazarsfeld. Cette réédition, augmentée d’une préface inédite de Roger Establet, a pour ambition de rendre à nouveau disponible un texte fondateur essentiel de la sociologie de l’éducation en France.
O impacto do rodízio de auditoria no gerenciamento de resultados em empresas brasileiras com auditoria especializada e não especializada
Authors: Silva Santos Duarte Jheneffer , Ribeiro de Assunção Artur , De Souza Machado Lúcio
Published: February 2024

Objetivo: Identificar a influência da troca de auditoria no gerenciamento de resultados em empresas que possuem auditoria especializada e auditoria não especializada.

Método: Foi levantada uma amostra de 126 empresas listadas no Novo Mercado da B3, por conta de seu alto nível de governança e por apresentar um nível diferenciado de transparência e governança, exigidos pelos investidores, entre os anos de 2015 e 2019. Utilizou-se o modelo de Jones Modificado de Dechow, Sloan e Sweeney (1995) para o cálculo de gerenciamento de resultados por meio de accruals e o modelo usado por Chen, Lin e Zhou (2005) para o cálculo da especialização. Já o rodízio de auditoria foi coletado do Relatório de Referência, caracterizando-se como uma dummy.

Originalidade/ Relevância: Ainda há distinção de identificar a especialização de auditor como um fator de impacto para detecção de gerenciamento e distorções, faltando um padrão nos resultados encontrados até o ano de 2016.

Resultados: Por meio do modelo pooled de regressão de dados em painel, os resultados apontaram que o rodízio de auditoria não influencia na diminuição de gerenciamento de resultados e que também não há suporte necessário para afirmar que o rodízio de auditoria impacta em menor gerenciamento de resultados em empresas com auditoria especializada. Tais resultados são explicados possivelmente pelo compartilhamento de dados dos clientes entre as firmas de auditoria e pelas características da especialização não serem suficientes para comprovar esta relação.

Contribuições teóricas/ metodológicas/ práticas: O estudo contribui com os stakeholders, auxiliando-os a identificar as melhores empresas para investimento com base na sua troca de auditoria, especialização da firma de auditoria e clareza nas informações contábeis. O artigo contribui ainda com uma expansão de novos resultados para a literatura do rodízio de auditoria e o gerenciamento de resultados quando ponderados pela especialização da firma de auditoria.
Silicon Nanoparticles Derived from Waste Rice Husk as Potential Siliconizing Material for Mild Steel
Authors: Aigbodion Victor Sunday , Ozor Paul Amaechi , Sukdeo Nita Inderlal
Published: February 2024

Siliconizing is one of the case-hardening processes used in the enhancement of some carbon-steel based material properties. Gears, rolling engineering parts, and pickling tanks produced with mild steel can offer better wear and hot-corrosion resistance characteristics through siliconizing. However, the cost of silicon hindered the wide usage of siliconized mild steel, which is the motivation for seeking remedy through processing of agro-waste materials. In this work, waste rice husk was used in the production of silicon nanoparticles using the sol-gel method. The silicon nanoparticles produced were used in the siliconizing of mild steel. The microstructure, hardness values, wear and corrosion tests were determined. The work shows that enhanced hardness values with improved corrosion and wear resistance were obtained when using waste rice husk to siliconize mild steel that can be used in the production of gears and storage tanks.

Background. A substantial body of literature has been published on acne vulgaris (AV) in the past five decades. Bibliometric analysis (BA) is a scientific, statistical evaluation review of published articles, providing a quantitative assessment of past research. Methods. The Web of Science (webOS) citation indexing database was used on 11 June 2023 to identify the top 100 cited articles on AV. Articles were listed in descending order by their annual citation (AC). Data sets were then subdivided into senior author, year and age of publication, journal and its impact factor, the number of total citations according to the webOS, corresponding and senior author’s affiliated institution, country of origin, manuscript type, study design, and research focus. Results. The top 100 most cited articles were published between 1974 and 2020. The mean number of citations ranges between 82 and 688. The most cited paper was Guidelines of care for the management of Acne Vulgaris by Zaenglein, with an AC of 98.2. The largest number of manuscripts was published between 2001 and 2010 (n = 47). The British Journal of Dermatology had the highest number of published manuscripts (15). Of the original research papers, 28% were of a level of evidence 1, 56% focused on treatment, 19.5% on epidemiology, and 16.5% on pathogenesis. Conclusions. This analysis provides detailed bibliometric characteristics, highlighting the worldwide acne burden, with the hope that future researchers will explore the gaps in the AV literature.
