A new species of Pilarella (Copepoda, Calanoida, Arietellidae) from the hyperbenthic layer of Japan, with a molecular phylogenetic analysis of some representative genera of the Arietellidae
Authors: Komeda Sota , Adachi Kenta , Ohtsuka Susumu
Published: May 2021

A new species of the continental shelf hyperbenthic genus Pilarella is described, the first from the Indo-Pacific. This is the second species of Pilarella known, and the first description of a male in the genus. The new species is easily distinguished from other species of Pilarella (P. longicornis) based on: (1) short caudal rami, approximately 1.5 times longer than wide; (2) 2 setae on the mandibular endopod; (3) 6 setae on the maxillular coxal epipodite; and (4) in the female, a short left antennule reaching the posterior border of the genital double-somite. The new diagnosis of Pilarella differs from Metacalanus in the separation of ancestral segments IX–XII and XIV–XV of the antennule, and the presence of 5–6 setae on the maxillular praecoxal arthrite. Pilarella is also separated from Metacalanalis based on the absence of a seta on the third ancestral segment of the antennary exopod, the symmetry of legs 1–3, the presence of a medial basal seta on the female leg 5, and 2 lateral exopodal spines on the female leg 5. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of some representative genera of the family Arietellidae, including the present new species, recovers two arietellid clades (Metacalanus- and Arietellus-clades) as in previous studies. Dichotomous keys for the genera of Arietellidae and the species of Pilarella are included.
Se reconvertir en fin de carrière au gré des réformes des filières d’enseignement professionnel : quels enjeux en termes de compétences, d’identité et de santé ?
Authors: Cau-Bareille Dominique
Published: May 2021

Cet article traite des enjeux de santé et identitaires liés à la reconversion disciplinaire touchant les enseignants en « Techniques comptables et bureautiques » de l’enseignement agricole. Il s’appuie sur une recherche de trois ans initiée par les syndicats, visant à analyser les conditions de cette reconversion et ses incidences sur ces enseignants. Ce travail s’inscrit dans une perspective interdisciplinaire mobilisant le modèle ergonomique, le modèle du système des activités et l’approche psychodynamique du travail. Dix-neuf entretiens ont été réalisés auprès d’enseignants volontaires, en reconversion. Partant de l’exposé des nombreux problèmes de santé associés à ce processus de transition, nous analysons leurs déterminants multiples et révélons les stratégies de résistance et de défense déployées pour tenter de donner du sens à ce processus de transformation de « Soi » imposé.
Modalités de scolarisation et estime de soi d’élèves en situation de handicap
Authors: Chevallier-Rodrigues Émilie , Courtinat-Camps Amélie , de Léonardis Myriam
Published: May 2021

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’analyser l’influence des modalités de scolarisation (individuelle ou collective) sur les niveaux d’estime de soi d’élèves scolarisés au sein de dispositifs collectifs pour l’inclusion. La conception multidimensionnelle et hiérarchique de l’estime de soi est privilégiée (Harter, 1982). Nous avons rencontré 40 élèves scolarisés dans six classes pour l’inclusion scolaire (CLIS), 20 filles et de 20 garçons âgés de dix ans et moins (52,5%) et d’onze ans et plus (47,5%). Nous avons utilisé la version française de l’échelle auto-évaluative : Self Perception Profile for Children (Harter, 1982). Les élèves scolarisés individuellement et collectivement ont une estime de soi « valeur propre » plus élevée lorsqu’ils sont âgés d’onze ans et plus que lorsqu’ils sont âgés de dix ans et moins.

Dans cette perspective, les grands traits de « l’entrepreneur gagnant » sont présentés.
Retour sur les contractions e + e du dialecte cyrénéen et quelques questions apparentées
Authors: Dobias-Lalou Catherine
Published: May 2021

Dans sa synthèse sur le dialecte cyrénéen publiée en 2000, l’auteur proposait pour la contraction des voyelles brèves moyennes antérieures une explication grapho-phonétique originale qui n’a guère convaincu. Il semble opportun de rouvrir le dossier avec le recul du temps, bien que la documentation nouvelle ait fourni peu d’éléments discriminants. Les exemples les plus nombreux appartiennent à deux types morphologiques, les nominatifs pluriels comme ΙΑΡΕΣ et les infinitifs actifs comme ΕΥΤΥΧΕΝ. En réexaminant la place de ces formes dans leurs systèmes flexionnels respectifs, on peut finalement expliquer les uns et les autres par des remaniements morphologiques, phénomène particulièrement développé dans les présents contractes en -έω. Le dialecte cyrénéen appartient bien au dorien « sévère ».
4IR integration of information technology best practice framework in operational technology
Authors: Shilenge Musa , Telukdarie Arnesh
Published: May 2021

Purpose: Since inception in the 1970s, Operational Technology (OT) systems were designed to operate in isolation from Information Technology (IT) systems mainly due to differences in objectives relating to Confidentiality, Integrity, Security and Availability (CISA). Additional diverse components include computing speed, and failure severity in terms of safety, environmental, and financial impact. With the onset of Industry 4.0 and the need for integration the worlds of IT and OT must operate in unison. The focal point of this research is to evaluate if an Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) best practice framework can be integrated into the operational technology domain.Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative desk research methodology initiates data gathering on the two key domains. A comparative analysis is subsequently adopted for results analysis. Thereafter, an application case of ITSM inclusive of OT is proposed and reviewed.Findings: After comparative analysis and application case, the research concludes that an IT best practice framework i.e. the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) can be integrated and adapted into the operational technology domain to facilitate management of OT in a service management style.Practical implications: The key benefit of this work is the inclusion of OT in global IT best practices in this Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) era.Originality/value: This paper contributes to ongoing research in IT-OT integration by providing a unique perspective on OT management in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Other researchers can utilize the research outcomes to apply ITSM in the OT domain where 4IR technologies have been implemented.
The Effect of Personalized Patient Videos on Patient Satisfaction After Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
Authors: Sims Laura A. , Khan Raymond , Sauder David J.
Published: May 2021

Dissatisfaction after shoulder arthroscopy may be influenced by the information that patients receive. Multimedia is an emerging modality of information delivery. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether providing patients with a personalized video of their arthroscopic shoulder surgery improved satisfaction through a multisurgeon randomized controlled study. Patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder decompression, rotator cuff repair, or labral repair were randomized to either the intervention group, receiving a video recording of their surgery, or the control group, not receiving a video. Patients who had previous ipsilateral shoulder arthroscopy or who could not participate in follow-up were excluded. Patient satisfaction was assessed at 3 months with a visual analog scale (VAS), Likert scale, and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Hand and Shoulder (QuickDASH) score. The intervention group included 50 participants, and the control group included 47 participants, with 18% loss to follow-up. Mean control group VAS score was 8.5±2.2 and intervention group VAS score was 9.0±1.5, a difference that was not significantly different (
P
=.27). No statistically significant differences were noted for Likert scale scores and QuickDASH scores. A subgroup analysis of age group, sex, surgeon, and surgical procedure showed no significant differences. Based on these findings, personalized patient videos do not appear to improve satisfaction with surgery. Surgeons should investigate other means to improve patient satisfaction in the small group of dissatisfied patients. [

Spinal Anesthesia Using Ropivacaine Leads to Earlier Ambulation After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Contino Vanja , Abrams Jonathan H. , Arumugam Sivasenthil , Sinha Sanjay K. , Vellanky Smitha S. , Cremins Michael S. , McCann Grace P.
Published: May 2021

Spinal anesthesia has grown in popularity for total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to its documented low complications. However, the use of a local anesthetic agent dictates the recovery of neuraxial blockade. Bupivacaine has emerged as the most popular choice, but its relatively long-acting effect limits its use with rapid recovery. Although not well studied, ropivacaine may offer a viable alternative with shorter-acting properties. Primary unilateral THA patients who received either ropivacaine or bupivacaine spinal anesthesia were retrospectively reviewed. These groups were compared for common demographics, such as age, sex, and body mass index. The primary outcomes included postoperative ambulation time and distance, post-anesthesia care unit transition time, and selective complications. Five hundred three patients were included. Of these, 227 received ropivacaine and 276 received bupivacaine. The ropivacaine group showed superior ambulation time and distance, quicker post-anesthesia care unit transition, and equivalent complications compared with the bupivacaine group. Ropivacaine shows a clear advantage over bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia during THA when considering rapid recovery. Its use should be strongly considered, especially in the ambulatory setting. [

Published: May 2021

Same-day bilateral total knee arthroplasties (SBTKAs) are associated with shorter rehabilitation and lower cost. However, controversy surrounding the safety of SBTKAs exists. Recent studies are lacking to determine whether patient selection has brought SBTKA in line with unilateral total knee arthroplasty (UTKA). Therefore, the authors evaluated and compared patient characteristics, hospital characteristics, and inpatient course between UTKA and SBTKA from 2009 to 2016. The National Inpatient Sample was queried from 2009 to 2016 for UTKA and SBTKA patients. Of the 5,329,466 patients identified, 5,084,328 (95.4%) patients received UTKAs and 245,138 (4.6%) patients underwent SBTKAs. Incidence, rate, patient and hospital characteristics, health status, length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, hospital charges, hospital costs, and complications were analyzed and statistically compared. The incidence (−1.4%) and rate (15.8%) of SBTKAs decreased (both
P
<.001). The SBTKA cohort had more patients who were younger, male, White, obese, healthier, and using private insurance (
P
<.001 for all). The SBTKA cohort had longer LOS, a higher proportion of discharges to skilled nursing facilities, higher cost and charges, and more complications, including deep venous thromboses/pulmonary emboli (DVT/PE) and transfusions (
P
<.001 for all). Conversely, SBTKA was associated with fewer myocardial infarctions (
P
<.001). Although improved from previous literature, SBTKA is still associated with longer LOS, higher cost and charges, and more complications, including DVT/PE and transfusions, although with a lower rate of myocardial infarction. However, studies are needed to determine whether the risk of 1 SBTKA outweighs the cumulative risk of staged UTKAs. [

Disparities Limit the Effect and Benefit of a Web-Based Clinic Intake System
Authors: Shipp Michael M. , Thakkar Madhuli Y. , Sanghavi Kavya K. , Means Kenneth R. , Giladi Aviram M.
Published: May 2021

With increasing value being placed on patient-centered care and the focus on efficiency and workflow in health care delivery, the authors have implemented a web-based system for demographic, medical history, and patient-reported outcomes data collection for every clinical visit at their specialty upper-extremity center. They evaluated initial success and disparities in use after 12 months. The authors evaluated questionnaire parameters from 2018 patients, focusing primarily on the new patient intake form. They analyzed form-completion time relative to appointment time and form-completion percentage at various times before the appointment. The authors grouped patients by age, sex, race, income, education, employment status, transportation access, self-reported pain, and quality-of-life scores. Waiting room time was evaluated. Of new patients, 94% used the web-based platform to complete the intake form. Of the 4898 completed forms, 69.7% were done more than 1 hour before appointment time, indicating that a personal device was used. When grouped by patient characteristics and controlling for all demographic factors, patients who were male, non-White, and older than 40 years; had lower family income; and had a high school education or less were significantly associated with later form completion. Of the 1136 patients for whom the authors had adequate waiting room time data, late form completion significantly increased odds of waiting more than 15 minutes to be placed into an examination room. These data indicate that the authors are reliably capturing important patient information before appointment time. This could improve clinical workflow and overall quality of care and also identify limits in access and online system use, providing opportunities to improve capture by developing targeted interventions for specific patient populations.

Early Experience in Pathologic Humerus Fracture Treated With the Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System Shows Limitations Related to Patient Selection
Authors: Krumme John , MacConnell Ashley , Wallace Matthew , Aboulafia Albert , Jelinek James , Adams Brock , Henshaw Robert
Published: May 2021

Impending and complete pathologic fractures often necessitate surgical fixation. Traditional orthopedic implants are commonly used, achieving clinically acceptable outcomes, but their metallic composition can impair radiographic evaluation and affect radiation treatments. Recognition of these concerns led to the development of radiolucent implants such as the minimally invasive Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System (PBSS; IlluminOss Medical Inc), featuring a light cured polymer contained within an inflatable balloon catheter. Two participating hospitals in one health care system reviewed cases using the PBSS implant. Twenty-five patients with 29 impending or pathologic fractures in the proximal radius or humerus from metastatic carcinoma, myeloma, lymphoma, and melanoma were identified. Clinical charts and imaging were reviewed to determine the status of the implant at final follow-up as well as complications. For analysis, a chi-square test was used for nominal variables and a
t
test was used for continuous variables. Eleven of the 25 patients were alive with disease at the time of analysis. Eight of 29 (27.5%) implants failed. Five of 25 (20%) patients required repeat surgery due to complications, including 3 revision open reduction and internal fixations, 1 open reduction and internal fixation for a periprosthetic fracture, and 1 screw removal. Five of the 9 cases (56%) (
P
=.03) with lesions in the distal humeral shaft had breakage of the implant by final follow-up, compared with 3 of 20 cases (15%) (
P
=.03) elsewhere in the humerus; no failures were seen in the radius. One of 4 patients (25%) also had failure in the surgical neck, although this did not reach significance. Five patients were noted to have progression of disease on follow-up radiographs, with 4 failures in patients with progression. The PBSS implants potentially allow improved surveillance of fracture healing and tumor recurrence along with decreased scattering of radiation during treatment. Unfortunately, there may be a higher rate of mechanical failures, particularly for lesions involving the distal humerus. This may be due to decreased cross-sectional area of the implant in this region as compared with the metaphyseal and proximal regions. Caution should be exercised when treating distal humeral pathologic fractures with large lytic lesions where the underlying disease process is not well controlled. [

Variability and Interpretation of Synovial Cell Count and Differential: A Perspective in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Pagliaccetti James , Pannu Tejbir S. , Villa Jesus M. , Piuzzi Nicolas S. , Higuera Carlos A.
Published: May 2021

Multiple threshold values have been proposed for synovial leukocyte count (white blood cell count) and synovial neutrophil percentage (percent polymorphonuclear neutrophils) in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The objective of this study was to elucidate the variability of these criteria under diverse patient/surgical settings. Hip PJIs yield higher synovial white blood cell counts and percent polymorphonuclear neutrophils than knee PJIs. Periprosthetic joint infection of failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty produces a higher white blood cell count than that of failed total knee arthroplasty. Synovial white blood cell count and percent polymorpho-nuclear neutrophils PJI thresholds also vary in patients with antibiotic cement spacers and depend on the timing from primary arthroplasty (<6 weeks vs >6 weeks). Similarly, test results should be carefully interpreted for patients with comorbidities so that PJI is not missed or falsely identified. [

Situé sur le causse du Larzac, le site de Soulages illustre, pour la première fois dans ce secteur de moyenne montagne, une occupation rurale qui se développe du vie siècle au ixe siècle. Les vestiges sont organisés dans un espace qui regroupe l’ensemble des lieux de vie, mêlés aux sépultures des habitants. Au sein de cet espace, les bâtiments sont répartis par fonction : les annexes sont regroupées dans des secteurs entourés par une palissade, la maison principale est isolée en hauteur. Au-delà de la localisation des constructions, l’analyse des techniques de construction et des matériaux mis en œuvre permet également de distinguer la maison d’habitation principale des bâtiments annexes avec l’emploi de la pierre, pour la première, et l’utilisation de structures porteuses en bois et murs en terre crue principalement, pour les seconds. Parmi les inhumations, les enfants décédés en bas âge sont surreprésentés. Ce type d’occupation livre de rares artefacts documentant la vie d’une communauté installée ex nihilo.
Une exception française : vers un nouveau paradigme de l’enseignement de la philosophie en Terminale ?
Authors: Poucet Bruno
Published: May 2021

L’enseignement scolaire français de la philosophie s’est progressivement organisé en un paradigme pédagogique qui comprend un certain nombre de dispositifs et de pratiques. Héritage de l’ancien régime, comprenant le cours dicté et la rédaction du cours, un examen sous forme de questions orales, un professeur non spécialiste, ce paradigme a été remis en cause pour atteindre un nouvel équilibre au cours du début du XXe siècle : professeur spécifique, pratique pédagogique particulière, exercice original à base de dissertation, manuels, attente de la société civile, tout concourt à cet équilibre qui sera défait lorsque l’évolution de la société et la massification de l’enseignement provoqueront des interrogations fortes sur l’existence du paradigme. C’est à la recherche d’un nouvel équilibre que professeurs et institutions tentent non sans mal d’apporter des réponses.
« L’enfant philosophe ? »
Authors: Lamarre Jean-Marc
Published: May 2021

Les discussions entre élèves, à l’école primaire, peuvent-elles être considérées comme philosophiques ? L’enfant peut-il accéder à la philosophie ? Selon l’auteur, les discussions dites « à visée philosophique » préparent à la philosophie, mais ne sont pas à proprement parler philosophiques ; elles contribuent, en liaison avec les débats interprétatifs et les débats de vie de classe, à la formation de la personne et du citoyen par l’exercice de la pensée réfléchie. Les enfants pensent, mais on ne peut pas appeler « philosophie » tout éveil à la pensée réfléchie. L’auteur lève la confusion, souvent faite, entre pensée et philosophie en montrant qu’il y a de la pensée (au sens fort de pensée capable de vérité) dans les sciences, les arts, la littérature, la politique. La philosophie se caractérisant par une visée de totalisation, de systématicité et de radicalité, l’enfant n’a ni les concepts ni la culture ni l’expérience humaine lui permettant d’entrer dans la philosophie. C’est avec l’adolescence qu’un seuil est franchi qui rend possible l’apprentissage de la philosophie. Quel travail de la pensée est à l’œuvre dans les discussions à l’école primaire ? L’auteur considère que ces discussions sont des dispositifs d’apprentissage de la réflexion selon les trois maximes kantiennes du sens commun : penser par soi-même (dépasser les opinions immédiates), penser en se mettant à la place d’autrui (élargir son point de vue), penser en accord avec soi-même (raisonner de façon conséquente). Ces discussions doivent se situer dans le cadre constructif de l’éducation morale et civique.
L’éducation populaire et coopérative à l’épreuve du philosopher
Authors: Connac Sylvain
Published: May 2021

L’étude présentée consiste à interroger, dans un contexte d’éducation prioritaire d’école élémentaire, l’influence réciproque entre les discussions à visée philosophique et la structure des classes coopératives. Des classes expérimentant la philosophie au sein d’un vaste programme, ont organisé chaque semaine des échanges discursifs de forme démocratique autour de questions soulevées par les enfants et traitées par l’intermédiaire de contraintes philosophiques particulières. L’étude a permis le suivi de certains élèves pour recueillir leur avis. Une analyse qualitative des scripts de discussions a permis de caractériser l’évolution des interventions des élèves du point de vue des progrès à conceptualiser. L’étude, appuyée aussi sur des entretiens avec des spécialistes et les enseignants, permet de lever quelques craintes quant à une éventuelle caducité de l’introduction des DVP en contexte de pédagogie coopérative. Les savoir-faire acquis par les enseignants en classe coopérative contribuent à mieux gérer les dispositifs des DVP, même si a priori il faut plus d’une année pour que tous les élèves en tirent profit. Le cadre de l’étude, menée en Zones d’Education Prioritaire (ZEP) restreint cependant les résultats à ce contexte d’enseignement spécifique.
Une discussion des fondements philosophiques habermassiens de la discussion à visée philosophique à l’école et du rôle du maître en son cours
Authors: Usclat Pierre
Published: May 2021

L’intention que nous désirons poursuivre dans cet article est de prendre l’objet de notre recherche, à savoir l’émergence de la discussion à visée philosophique (DVP) à l’école primaire, comme étant lui-même un objet de discussion. En effet, alors que notre thèse a cherché un ancrage de cette pratique émergente dans les apports de la philosophie de J. Habermas et a tenté, à partir de là, de poser un possible rôle du maître comme participant à part entière lors de la DVP, il nous paraît important d’éprouver la recevabilité de nos analyses par les exigences de la discussion telle qu’envisagée par Habermas. Ainsi, après avoir rappelé les liens que nous avons établis entre la pensée de ce philosophe allemand et la DVP, nous tenterons de prendre à notre charge les critiques qui nous sont adressés par les principaux chercheurs impliqués sur cette question de l’émergence de la DVP. A cet effet, nous essaierons notamment de répondre à la critique voulant que Habermas peut éclairer la forme de la discussion mais non sa philosophicité. Tout comme nous nous confronterons aux interpellations pointant que nous entretenons une proximité loin d’aller de soi entre philosophie et démocratie, que nous transposons peut-être de manière indue les concepts habermassiens dans un domaine qui leur est totalement étranger ou, encore, qu’avec notre rôle du maître comme participant au même titre que les élèves lors de la DVP nous n’apportons rien de nouveau.
L’appropriation de la posture d’accompagnement comme fondement de la formation des enseignants de philosophie
Authors: Montagner Jacques Le
Published: May 2021

Traditionnellement, l’Institution centre la formation des enseignants de philosophie sur l’approfondissement des contenus à transmettre aux élèves dans une logique quasi exclusive d’enseignement. Sans nier l’apport précieux et indispensable de ce volet de la formation, nous faisons l’hypothèse que le développement d’une didactique professionnelle centrée sur l’appropriation d’une posture d’accompagnement de l’apprentissage du philosopher des élèves de terminales peut être, pour le développement de compétences réelles comme pour leur réussite, une option prometteuse. Comment définir et comprendre l’accompagnement du philosopher ? Quels dispositifs de formation sont susceptibles de favoriser la construction progressive de cette posture ? Dans quelle mesure la formation initiale et continue actuelle des professeurs de philosophie aide-t-elle ou empêche-t-elle cette appropriation ? Sur quels référents théoriques, quels outils, quels dispositifs peut-on s’appuyer pour optimiser cette transformation ?
Effets mésoéconomiques de la crise de la covid-19
Authors: Bastien Jérémie
Published: May 2021

À partir d’une grille d’analyse conceptuelle permettant de déterminer l’impact des chocs macroéconomiques sur le football professionnel européen, cet article identifie les canaux par lesquels la crise pandémique de la covid-19 s’est transmise à cet espace méso spécifique pour en caractériser in fine les effets. À court terme, cette crise a conduit à une diminution des revenus des clubs qui a été compensée par une augmentation de leurs dettes, en particulier sous l’effet des mesures de soutien prises par les États et par les instances sportives. Les scénarios de reprise de l’activité économique envisagés permettent de minimiser les conséquences de plus long terme de la crise : en capacité de vendre leur spectacle sportif aux diffuseurs TV et des espaces de visibilité aux entreprises sponsors, les clubs ne seront que peu affectés par la crise pandémique. Cependant, en soutenant le prix des joueurs, l’augmentation de l’endettement des clubs et le renforcement de leur télédépendance alimentent les contradictions endogènes au football professionnel européen étant issues de sa financiarisation. La crise de la covid-19 ne fait ainsi qu’accélérer et qu’amplifier le risque structurel dans cet espace méso.
Facing covid-19 in Ecuador: a blueprint for monetary policy and food sovereignty
Authors: King Katiuska , Samaniego Pablo , Carranza César
Published: May 2021

In Ecuador, in a context of social and political conflict, the pandemic has revealed structural problems that are becoming increasingly acute for a country with a dollarized economy. The situation has its roots in inequality resulting from a number of sources and which has become more evident during the pandemic. A compounding factor is the dislocation of a population obliged to turn to informal work or self-employment due to the application of structural adjustment policies and deregulation of markets. The government boosts large-scale mining. Within this framework, the article proposes measures that could help to mitigate some of the problems faced by a country that does not have its own currency. A major component is a what we call conditional integral regulation, together with lines of liquidity which would promote the repatriation of capital. In terms of food sovereignty, while food is available, distribution problems in an agricultural sector based on the campesino and family economy are exacerbating a situation of chronic malnutrition in children.
La crise de la covid-19, un levier de changement pour le système alimentaire français ?

Published: May 2021

L’épidémie de la covid-19 a mis l’accent sur l’approvisionnement alimentaire des consommateurs et a mis en exergue les fragilités du système alimentaire français. L’article interroge la crise de régulation du secteur agroalimentaire à travers la question de l’alimentation et des circuits courts et de proximité (CCP) durant le confinement. Du point de vue de l’analyse institutionnaliste des crises et de l’innovation, cette crise est envisagée comme accélérateur des transformations du mode de régulation du système alimentaire, en offrant un contexte favorable à des pratiques porteuses d’alternatives. En partant de l’identification des multiples initiatives développées pendant le confinement, nous présentons une première réflexion sur les mutations potentielles du système alimentaire liées à la crise en interrogeant notamment leur pérennité. Le potentiel de transformation du système alimentaire le plus souvent mis en avant par la littérature économique standard relève des choix des consommateurs. Or la dynamique impulsée ne semble pas se poursuivre. Nous défendons ici la thèse selon laquelle il faudrait plutôt se tourner du côté de l’offre et de ses structures institutionnelles pour comprendre les principaux freins à la transformation du système alimentaire de l’après-crise. Les CCP peuvent être rapidement envisagés comme des solutions conjoncturelles aux crises du secteur agroalimentaire, mais nous proposons plutôt de déplacer la question vers le potentiel de transformation du système alimentaire par les CCP. Nous mettons ainsi en avant une série d’enjeux qui pourront faire l’objet de futures recherches pour mieux comprendre les processus de reconfiguration du système alimentaire.
New Horizons for Sustainable Growth in Eurasia Powered by Technology-Infused Adult Learning
Authors: Parker Judith
Published: May 2021

On January 1, 2019, an American spacecraft, New Horizons, that had been traveling through space for 13 years discovered Ultima Thule, the farthest object in our Solar System. Technology had expanded the view of our immediate solar system beyond the boundaries of our current exploration and opened a vision for the growth of knowledge and discoveries. This chapter explores the vision of a geographical area that began with disappearing geographical, political, and philosophical boundaries and the emerging new horizons for the Eurasian Region. It explores the role of technology infused adult learning in the achievement of that vision that is sustainable. Over the past almost 30 years, these countries have engaged in a search for sustainable growth and for the ideal of a digital economy. Throughout history, adult learning has been at the core of any forward moving initiative. This chapter will address how this ideal can become reality through exploration of the theories and practices of adult learning infused with technology.
The Socratic Way and Adult Learning
Authors: Giuseffi Frank G.
Published: May 2021

Adult learning experiences seem to be influenced by the activity of self-direction on the part of their learners. Adult learners come to educational encounters motivated and possessing a strong sense of self and learning objectives. However, other educational experiences require teachers of adults to assist in the development of self-directed learning (SDL) in their learners. This chapter explores the possibility of how Leonard Nelson's theories concerning the Socratic method can initiate the possibility of SDL (self-teaching) in adult learners.
Adult Learner Characteristics Important for Successful Learning in Cross-Cultural Web-Based Learning Environments in Higher Education
Authors: Lutta Joseph George M.
Published: May 2021

For more than 40 years, cognitive psychological perspectives have dominated pedagogical frameworks and models for designing technology-mediated teaching and learning environments. Social learning perspectives are increasingly becoming viable or even desirable frames for research and practice as pertains to teaching and learning, particularly in web-based learning environments (WBLEs). The author considers these social learning perspectives and how they relate to the design and implementation of curricula that are delivered in web-based learning environments in higher education. The author further reviews the foundational theories of adult learning that enhance adult learners' experiences in cross-cultural web-based learning environments. This review and analysis of the research related to social learning perspectives on WBLEs have three implications for future research and practice: (1) examining learners' individual characteristics in WBLEs, (2) identifying strategies for promoting social interaction in WBLEs, and (3) developing effective design principles for WBLEs. The author presents recommendations for future research.

Published: May 2021

This chapter presents and introduces several key concepts related to lifelong e-learning as a way for employability from the point of view of the socio-technical approach. Current employability needs and continuous training via new information and communication technologies bring an opportunity for a fresh proposal in this research area. Starting with the human capital approach, and several issues related to a socio-technical lifelong e-learning, we introduce the need of a new conceptual framework for improving the employability of workers and global citizens, which is based on relationships between people and technologies.
Invariable Structure of Research Competence of Adult Learners in Skill Building Programs
Authors: Panarina Svetlana
Published: May 2021

Skill building programs are a necessary means of updating and building new competences in adult learning. Research competence is one of key components in the competence model of an adult graduate of skill building programs. It encompasses a number of elements: motivational, value-an-semantic, instrumental, individual-and-psychological and conative. Every invariant is presented as description of certain skills and abilities that are to be formed or developed while mastering a skill building program. It is necessary to note that a competence model whose integral part is research competence is an obligatory element of a particular skill building program, particularly its aim and result. That is why the author focused on analyzing the structure of research competence prior to developing the contents of the program itself.

Authors: Hawley Todd S. , Hostetler Andrew L.
Published: May 2021

In this manuscript, the authors explore self-study as an emerging research methodology with the potential to open up spaces of inquiry for researchers, graduate students, and teachers in a broad array of fields. They argue that the fields of career and technical education (CTE), adult education and technology can leverage self-study methodology in similar ways. They argue that self-study has a great deal to offer both theoretically and practically to those interested in improving their practices as researchers, and for those involved in shaping adult vocational educational experiences. After reviewing the history of self-study as a research methodology, they provide examples of self-study research that have direct implications for those in CTE and adult education and technology. They conclude the manuscript by providing practical guidance to those researching and/or working in schools, community centers and workplaces.

Various methods and technological tools have been utilized to meet the unique needs of adult learners. One of the recent methods is gamification, in which game elements and mechanics were utilized within a non-gaming context. This chapter reviews the literature and presents an overview of gamification implementations to develop systematic understanding of how gamification can be integrated into the adult learning process. An electronic search of articles from 2009 to 2019 was conducted, and 23 studies were reviewed in detail. The study shows gamification has mainly been utilized within the workplace environment and in the health education. The principle investigated constructs were satisfaction, motivation, engagement, and knowledge acquisition. Although the reviewed papers reported promising results in terms of utilizing gamification for adult learning, further research is needed.

Distance educational courses and programs, either fully online or hybrid, have been a major contributing factor in the shift that is felt in the academic landscape which now offers a variety of instructional modes, welcomes adult and non traditional learners, and offers a wider variety of curricular offerings reflecting current market trends. While a high percentage of students take classes online, adult learners particularly benefit from the flexibility and accessibility offered by online education. Yet, adult learners are more likely to be intimidated because of their lack of familiarity with this new learning paradigm. This chapter examines online and adult learners programming as well as strategies to address their needs, and presents the results of an evaluation that examined the effectiveness of an Online Adult Learner-Focused Program. The results of the study found various levels of student satisfaction with online adult learner-focused courses and as it relates to meeting the objectives of the program. Implications and recommendations for instructors, program coordinators and administrators are also discussed.
Framing the Role of Culture Reflecting on How Culture Affects Learners in Transformative Learning Settings
Authors: Bamba Priscilla
Published: May 2021

From the simplest cell phone to virtual reality headsets, students today are bombarded by technology, so this is bound to affect their expectations in the learning environment and the way they relate to cognitive challenges. Today's culture is an immersion of advanced methods of communicating with each other and with their instructors. Adult learners who return to the world of higher education after having been away for some time have often felt the need to strive harder to show they fit into that world. With a broader worldview, more responsibilities, and often more wisdom gained from having held jobs, sometimes for years, they also bring a richer way of relating to the academic world. At the same, time, though, sometimes responsibilities, including full family lives, limit their time and energy they are capable of devoting to studying and completing assignments.

Authors: Adkisson Anthony C. , Monaghan Catherine H.
Published: May 2021

Critical theory points out that cultural norms do not reflect the experiences of a large portion of adult learners, particularly urban adult learners. As adult educators in this context, are there ways we might improve or change our instruction by developing a critical understanding of the transitional and transformational events in the lives of adult learners entering into career and technical education program? What is the role of alternative approaches to transformative learning for these learners? Specifically, what is the role of alternative approaches to learning for urban adult learners transitioning into a career and technical education classroom, after years of disengagement with formal learning institutions and the need to update their technology skills? In this chapter, the authors discuss the need to use alternative conceptions of transformative learning and critical theory to understand this population of learners as they make the decisions to participate in more formal education programs. They also explore the key issues for adult education practitioner including implications for practice.

Online marketing has been the most efficient and useful platform for reaching target markets and building customer relations. Despite its widespread use, the hospitality industry is at its forefront of identifying its most suitable online marketing strategies. This emphasis is crucial to strategic marketing and resource allocation decisions, which may impact the long-term performance of businesses. The need to address both perspectives of customers and businesses, along with the multiple online marketing strategies under the presence of multiple criteria, requires a rigorous analytical and comprehensive approach for evaluating the efficacy of these strategies for the hospitality industry. Thus, this work offers an integrated approach based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) as a decision-making platform for the problem domain. The AHP assigns the corresponding priority weights of the criteria associated with either customers' or businesses' perspectives, while the TOPSIS ranks the importance of the strategies. Results show that the credibility of an online marketing strategy is of the highest priority for the customers, while the businesses highly regard customer loyalty. With the AHP-TOPSIS approach, findings reveal that both perspectives prefer search engines for the hospitality industry. Illustrating the results via a priority tradeoff map of two perspectives, search engines, websites, and blogs are deemed the most viable online marketing strategies relevant to the industry. These findings offer dependable guidelines for the hospitality industry in positioning their online marketing efforts.
