Certes en phase d’expérimentation mais avec des grosses lacunes qui à notre sens ne vont pas donner grandes choses pour l’insertion définitive dans le cursus scolaire si l’on ne palie pas aux problèmes de la documentation, du type de formation des enseignants prévus pour ces expérimentations pour ainsi savoir le type d’expérimentation qui pourra être considéré meilleur et adéquat afin de permettre d’obtenir de bons résultats en vue d’une prise de décision qui les permettront d’être plus définitives qu’expérimentales.
Switching Between Two Foreign Languages in English for Medical Purposes Course: Impact on Medical Terminology and Vocabulary Comprehension
Authors: LAGGOUN BELHOUL Rania , BENMOUSSAT Smail
Published: February 2024

Code-switching (CS) between the mother tongue (L1) and the foreign language (FL) is an embedded practice in the Algerian multilingual society, as it is highly noticed in pedagogical settings like school and university. Yet, switching between two foreign languages seems to gain popularity, mainly, in the English for medical purposes (EMP) course. In the latter, EMP teachers tend to switch between English and French to serve certain pedagogical and non-pedagogical aims. Furthermore, this practice is used as a time-saving strategy and as an instructional tool to enhance students’ skills like; listening and vocabulary comprehension. In an attempt to flesh out an explanatory framework, this study explores the attitudes of students towards their teachers’ use of CS, in addition to their perspective about the reasons behind teachers’ switching between two foreign languages in a medical course. Furthermore, this research reveals the different perceptions of learners about the implementation of English/French CS to enhance their vocabulary comprehension and to promote their medical terminology. To this end, 162 second year pharmacy students, from the faculty of medicine at the university of Sétif 1, formed the participants of the enquiry. Based on a triangulation (quantitative and qualitative) research design, a questionnaire and a focus group discussion (FGD) were used to collect the related data. The findings revealed that teachers switch from English to French to perform different pedagogical functions such as explaining new concepts and difficult expressions, reinforcing and emphasizing a message or an information. Through CS, instructors may create a friendly and a dynamic learning atmosphere by using it as a stopgap to students’ loss of communication and hence to support the learning and teaching process. Moreover, CS is used to boost the learning of medical terminology and to facilitate the comprehension of medical context especially the new and complex vocabulary for learners. Overall CS is regarded as an effective pedagogical strategy, and is recommended in the EMP course, yet it should be used with moderation and in situations where necessary.

Authors: BELEULMI Saliha
Published: February 2024

The shift to online teaching has highlighted the important use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by faculty members. The objectives of this paper are to identify the current use of the technological tools to teach the writing skill in an online mode and to describe teachers’ perspectives on the potential effect of using the different kinds of ICTs in the process of online teaching and learning of writing. This study employed a descriptive research approach using qualitative methods for data collection and analysis. A purposive sample of Six (6) Written Expression teachers from the department of Letters and the English Language at Frères Mentouri University participated in this study. Data was collected through a focus group interview, enabling in-depth discussions and insights into teachers’ experiences and perceptions. The analysis revealed that teachers believe that technological tools such as Google Apps (Google Classroom, Google Meet, and Facebook) offer greater engagement and collaboration in the writing process, as well as encourage teacher and peer feedback on students’ writings. However, teachers expressed only moderate satisfaction with ICT accessibility and use due to certain challenges and the necessity to possess both technological knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for effective teaching of writing. The present study extends the existing knowledge on online language teaching, particularly in the context of the writing skill. It highlights the technological requirements and pedagogical strategies employed by EFL teachers to optimise the use of ICTs and ensure effective online teaching of the writing skill. The findings of this study have implications for educational stakeholders, emphasising the importance of integrating ICTs into writing instruction in online environments.
Facing Some Language Impediments in Oral Expression and Comprehension Settings: A Case Study
Authors: ZAGHAR El-Alia Wafaâ
Published: February 2024

In today’s tech-driven globe, the role of communication and speech production has witnessed an upsurge. Teaching the language as a means of communication has become the norm in English as a foreign language (EFL) settings.  The major problem underlying this endeavour lies with first-year students’ inability to maintain spontaneous talk either in the classroom or in any context. This research aims at investigating some language obstacles that EFL students face and could be a serious handicap to the improvement of their speaking skills. The data was gathered through two questionnaires administered to both first-year EFL students and the teachers covering oral expression and comprehension courses. The findings revealed that learners experienced various barriers that hinder their performance and interaction, such as self-confidence, anxiety, lack of appropriate vocabulary, and obsessive fear of making mistakes and imperfections. Based on the results, some helpful recommendations were suggested to enhance the students’ speaking proficiency.

Authors: KERMA Mokhtar
Published: February 2024

This study examines the assessment strategies and practices at Oran 2 University, Algeria. It attempts to explore the impact of assessment procedures on learners’ motivation and academic achievements.  This research adopted a mixed-methods case study design wherein both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis procedures were used to explore tertiary teachers’ assessment strategies while assessing their learners’ competencies. A random sample of 30 tertiary teachers formed the target population during the first semester of the academic year 2022. Findings reveal that some teachers continue to rely on a limited set of assessment tools as the sole means of evaluation to meet the diverse needs of their learners. However, the study also highlights that teachers also showed a good understanding of the necessary knowledge and training required before implementing assessment tools to provide students with the necessary feedback. The results also indicate an essential need for in-service training, pedagogical support, and professional development to meet the challenges identified by teachers in adapting and maintaining effective assessment practices at all levels of tertiary education.

Aproximación terminológica e histórica sobre la Conquista versus Reconquista
Authors: AISSAOUI Souad
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT: Muslim civilization built a state on the Iberian Peninsula, known as Al-Andalus, which persisted for eight centuries from the 8th century, in relation to and in contact with the Christian kingdoms gradually emerging in the northern part of the peninsula. Examining the history of Spain in the mediaeval era involves revisiting the history of Al-Andalus and the nascent Christian kingdoms with contrasting historiographies. Here, we focus on the use of concepts related to the Middle Ages, which have sparked controversies today, necessitating a revision. Among the numerous terms, we specifically concentrate on the concepts of Conquest and Reconquest. The objective of our research is to define and historically situate these concepts (Conquest/Reconquest) used in various political contexts, which seem to respond to specific circumstances and ideologies that vary from one historian to another. If the term Reconquista is currently a subject of controversy in the world of historiography, so is the term Conquest, as they are interconnected by historical events. The Reconquista is tied to the emergence of the Spanish nation and the crafting of a renewed history of Spain. On the other hand, the Muslim conquest is the foundation that led to the creation of a Muslim state in Christian Western Europe during the mediaeval period, leaving lasting imprints on various aspects of life for centuries. The realisation and approval of this investigation have required a historical, analytical, and comparative method.

RESUMEN: La civilización musulmana construyo un estado en la Península Ibérica, denominado al Ándalus, que desde el siglo VIII se mantuvo durante ocho siglos en relación y contacto con los reinos cristianos que, poco a poco, se fueron construyendo en el Norte peninsular. Tratar la historia de España en la época medieval es en consecuencia volver sobre la historia de al Ándalus   y los nacientes reinos cristianos, cuyas historiografías en contraste. Aquí nos referimos al uso de conceptos sobre la Edad Media, que hoy día han suscitado polémicas por la necesidad de revisarlos. Entre tantos términos nos focalizamos sobre los conceptos, Conquista y Reconquista. Pues, el objetivo de nuestra investigación es definir y situar históricamente los conceptos (Conquista/Reconquista), empleados en diversos contextos políticos, que parecen obedecer a ciertas circunstancias, e ideologías que difieren de un historiador a otro. Si el término Reconquista es actualmente objeto de polémica en el mundo de la historiografía, lo es también el de Conquista, por ser relacionados por los hechos. La Reconquista está ligada al surgimiento de la nación española, y a la confección de una renovada historia de España, la conquista musulmana por su parte es el gremio que dio lugar a la creación de un estado musulmán en el Occidente cristiano en la época medieval, durante siglos dejando huellas en diversos aspectos de la vida. La realización y aprobación de dicha indagación ha exigido un método histórico, analítico y comparativo.
La funzione del paratesto in La Traversata della mangrovia di Maryse Condé
Authors: Gurrieri Antonio
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT: Maryse Condé is a famous writer from the Antilles who has been praised by academic critics for her novels, short stories, plays, and essays. Eliana Vicari is the Italian translator of her texts. The novel Traversata della Mangrovia is one of the most interesting translations, especially for the importance given to the paratextual apparatus. The paratext plays an important role in postcolonial texts, as it helps to understand the cultural and linguistic challenges present in the original text and the attempts to transpose them into the translated text. Translation is not only about the linguistic aspect but also requires reflection that embraces all aspects of the translation act. The paratext is therefore a valuable support tool that helps the translator and the reader have a clear view of the reality represented in the text.

RIASSUNTO: Maryse Condé è una famosa scrittrice antillese, che è stata elogiata dalla critica accademica per i suoi romanzi, racconti, opere teatrali e saggi. Eliana Vicari è la traduttrice italiana dei suoi testi. Il romanzo La Traversata della mangrovia è una delle traduzioni più interessanti soprattutto per l’importanza riservata all'apparato paratestuale. Il paratesto ha un ruolo importante nei testi postcoloniali, in quanto aiuta a comprendere le sfide culturali e linguistiche presenti nel testo originale e i tentativi di trasporle nel testo tradotto. La traduzione non riguarda solo l'aspetto linguistico, ma richiede una riflessione che abbracci tutti gli aspetti dell’atto traduttivo. Il paratesto è dunque un valido strumento di supporto che aiuta il traduttore e il lettore ad avere una chiara visione della realtà rappresentata nel testo.

Commercial significance of medicinal and aromatic plants of India
Authors: Chauhan Kapil
Published: February 2024

Las condiciones agroclimáticas de la India favorecen el crecimiento natural de plantas medicinales y aromáticas. La gran extensión de la India, de sur a norte y de oeste a este, junto con las variaciones topográficas en forma de tierras bajas y tierras altas, ha ofrecido una variedad de estaciones de crecimiento para las plantas. Las variaciones en las características del suelo, su capacidad de retención de humedad y las condiciones climáticas han añadido posibilidades para el crecimiento de plantas con valores medicinales y aromáticos. Con una larga historia de civilización, India ha contribuido significativamente a reconocer el valor de las plantas y sus aplicaciones en medicina y asistencia sanitaria. La respuesta de los precios y el uso popular de cualquier objeto en el entorno socioeconómico favorecen la producción comercial de estos artículos. La demanda de los consumidores depende de los contextos culturales de la sociedad y de su nivel de modernización para usos rutinarios en el intercambio de regalos y como objeto de curación de las heridas y otras dolencias comunes. La respuesta del mercado relacionada con la demanda de contextos de producción masiva y calidad aumenta aún más la producción y la cadena de suministro en los mercados locales, regionales, nacionales y mundiales. Los datos así recogidos se procesan mediante un análisis de entradas y salidas para calcular las inversiones, las pérdidas y el beneficio neto. En este ejercicio se han utilizado tres grupos de variables: medioambientales, tecnológicas e institucionales. La regresión por pasos se ha utilizado para evaluar el impacto de una variable independiente sobre las otras variables dependientes, además de sus impactos conjuntos sobre el desarrollo general y la expansión del cultivo comercial de plantas medicinales y aromáticas. Como política para promover la asistencia sanitaria, el Gobierno de India ha abierto centros de venta de medicamentos a precios subvencionados. Estos centros eran 10.000 antes, pero se ha aumentado a 25.000 centros de este tipo. Del mismo modo, otra política de apoyo es conocida como Drone Didi Yojana, un plan para 15.000 mujeres auto-grupos de 2024 a 2026 para la prestación de servicios de alquiler a los agricultores con fines agrícolas.

 Los resultados revelan que la producción de plantas medicinales y aromáticas tiene un uso diverso en la sociedad y su aplicación y cantidad de uso está aumentando a un ritmo rápido, por lo que es una alternativa viable para la población rural, los agricultores y las personas situadas a distancia. La respuesta de los precios y la estacionalidad tienen una alta asociación positiva (r=0.69), los eventos climáticos extremos resultan en una alta mortalidad de las plantas mostrando una asociación negativa (r= -0.56). Se descubrió que cuatro de los ocho parámetros del modelo de regresión eran significativos a la hora de afectar a la eficacia comercial de las PAM en la zona de estudio. Se trata de los beneficios, los ingresos generados, los costes de transporte y el alquiler de la tienda.

Many organic compounds present in industrial and domestic wastewater are carcinogenic in nature. Removal of these organic compounds from waste waters has become a great challenge to waste water treatment technologies as many of them are non-biodegradable in nature. Adsorption on activated carbon has emerged as an efficient and economically viable technology for the removal of a broad spectrum of toxic organic compounds from domestic and industrial waste water. The adsorption of hazardous organic compounds on activated carbon has been the subject of research for the past three decades. In the present study, kinetic study for adsorption of some priority organic pollutants like phenol on activated carbon, was studied at laboratory scale. Series of experiments were carried out to determine kinetics for adsorbate, when present in aqueous solution as a single component. The commercially available bituminous coal based activated carbon Filtrasorb-400 was used as an adsorbent. A simplified interpretation of the kinetic data based on Langmuir theory has been used. The kinetics performed gives the adsorption equilibrium time. The adsorption and desorption rate constants were evaluated from the graph.

The agricultural sector faces challenges in selecting suitable crop due to complexity and uncertainty of environmental factors. By using fuzzy technique, we enhance the accuracy in crop selection compare to traditional statistical method. Statistical approaches often rely on precise numerical threshold while, fuzzy logic excels in capturing the vagueness associated with linguistic terms by standard intersection. Considering all parameters like temperature, soil compatibility, water required, production cost and profit enabling farmers to make context aware approach for crop selection. First calculating the gradation of variables and taking minimum intersection of all fuzzy sets from all parameters and then preferring the crop with maximum index. Finite accuracy got by fuzzy logic can be trusted more than statistical method.

Published: February 2024

Cancer is a clinical condition of uncontrolled growth of cells. Today one in six people have been suffering from this life threatening disease. It may be benign (localized) or malignant (spread). Besides the common treatment therapies like surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy naturally occurring spices like curcumin, found in turmeric(Curcuma longa) and piperine obtained from black peeper (Piper nigrum L) are getting importance for regulation of cancer proliferation. Curcumin and piperine both have the properties to regulate several intracellular signaling pathways acting as antioxidant and antiproliferative agent. According to literature glucuronidation of curcumin leads to formation of other compound that makes the curcumin unavailable and tend to be excreted in feces. On the other hand, piperine increases bioavailability of curcumin by inhibiting glucuronidation of curcumin in the liver and small intestine. So, using both spices together in food and beverages daily can increase the bioavailability of curcumin that could be blessings for cancer patients. In this paper an initiative has been made to illustrate the functions of both curcumin and piperine in inhibition of cell growth proliferation. The knowledge of this paper may be helpful in bio-medical applications and in formulation of new drug development therapy.

Published: February 2024

The levels of heavy metals in ground water continue to be higher than those considered acceptable by regulatory agencies in different countries across the world. One of the most important public health problems in the world is chronic arsenic poisoning, or arsenicosis, caused by drinking water that has been poisoned with arsenic. Arsenic poisoning over time has been related to a number of cancers of the skin, oral cavity, urinary bladder, kidney, and lung in addition to bone marrow depression, Blackfoot disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and a host of other ailments. In addition, arsenic causes DNA damage that has genotoxic effects. Around the world, 137 million people in 70 different nations depend on drinking water that has been drawn from severely contaminated groundwater. The two nations that have been affected the most so far are Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. The drinking water of 26 million people in nine districts of West Bengal contains levels of arsenic that are significantly higher than the WHO-acceptable limit of 10 g/l. The review focuses on the impact of chronic arsenic toxicity on public health worldwide.
HPV vaccination: a comprehensive approach to control cervical cancer
Authors: Ghazal Uzma , Pal Pritha , Baksi Sibashish
Published: February 2024

The introduction of the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination poses unique challenges due to its distinct characteristics. Unlike other vaccines, it is specifically designed to prevent cancer and is targeted towards adolescent females, making it difficult to implement within existing health intervention programs. Despite consistent clinical trial results confirming its effectiveness and safety, skepticism and concerns surrounding this vaccination are not uncommon, both among the general public and professionals. The HPV vaccination plays a crucial role in preventing cervical and other anogenital malignancies, even a single dose offering significant protection compared to not being vaccinated. This emphasizes the possibility of implementing a worldwide HPV vaccination program, as a solitary dose of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine exhibits immunogenicity and provides lasting protection against HPV 16 and 18 infections, comparable to the effectiveness of the two- and three-dose vaccine regimens.

Authors: Nabi Arshiya , Garai Susoma , Mondal Piusha , Pal Falguni , Ghosh Sabyasachi , Pal Pritha
Published: February 2024

Nitrate is a prevalent groundwater and surface water contaminant that is a major contributor to global groundwater contamination. Due to nitrogen fertiliser runoff from urban lawns and agricultural fields, nitrate levels in streams and rivers can reach dangerous levels. Many plant species, including the majority of edible ones, require it for growth; but, if it gets into water where it is not needed, it creates a problem. Both a serious environmental issue and a health risk result from this. Foods are preserved with sodium nitrite, particularly meats that have been cured. Additionally, nitrate may occasionally be added to serve as a container for nitrite. Almost 80% of air we breathe is composed of nitrogen, which is a significant component of the earth's atmosphere. All nitrates are primarily produced by atmospheric nitrogen gas. In a process known as nitrogen fixation, some plants transform this into organic nitrogen. Nitrate, which is dissolved nitrogen, is the most common type of ground water pollution. Numerous chemical and biological processes, such as nitrification and denitrification, affect the amount of nitrate in ground water. This review focuses on the extent of nitrate contamination and its impact on human population worldwide.

The article from the perspective of the theory of drives Szondi discusses the motivational and volitional foundations of the organization of the archetype of intellectual functions. It is postulated that archetypical structures are not only a priori existing mechanisms of cognition from the point of view of the formation of an individual's mental experience at an early age, but also influence all subsequent processes of the development of cognitive functioning. The concept of “Icaric palindrome” is introduced a specific system of organization of emotional-volitional processes in individuals who represent the anthropic form of the archetype of an intellectual function.

Many issues related to insider threat in organization had been debated ever since. Although insider attacks may not occur as frequently as external attacks, they have a higher rate of success, go undetected, and pose a much greater risk than external adversaries. In relation to that, it is undeniably the fact that many mechanisms have been proposed to be an initiative to protect data from outside attacks. However, those mechanisms could not protect data from authorized users who may misuse their privileges. Due to that circumstances, the development of mechanisms that protect sensitive data from insiders somehow become pitch demand as in method to prevent harm caused by malicious insiders. The method of this research is the quantitative method using a questionnaire. The findings have contributed to developing a framework that will be used to prevent insider threat in an organization in the future.

Fast food restaurants have faced a new norm in which all services operate with minimal contact, but this poses a significant problem for some. This issue is supported by the current scenario, which demonstrates a lack of customer readiness to use technology during the payment process. Furthermore, cash payment is still the most popular method of payment among consumers. At the same time, the lack of research into the user experience with contactless payment remains a concern. As a result, this study investigates the customer experience with contactless payment and the factors that influence such perception. An exploratory case study with a qualitative approach was used as the design. Purposive sampling was used to select participants for this study, which consisted of customers who walked into fast-food restaurants. Interviews and observations were used to collect data for this study. All interviews and observations will be verbatim transcribed. As a result, there is one component that is the most prominent and has been classed as a novel finding which is perceived risk, followed by perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, effort expectancy, performance expectancy and social influences. The findings of this study are expected to spark a surge in improving service quality and contactless service in fast-food restaurants.
