Revisiting Durrës, A Critical analysis on the existence of Durrës Historic Centre
Authors:   POLIS University, Buka Iden , Plyku Demaj Marsela ,   POLIS University
Published: July 2024

Durrës, a seacoast city with an uninterrupted urban life and a history spanning several millennia, has seen the influence of numerous civilizations, from the Illyrians, Greeks and Romans to the Byzantines, Venetians and Ottomans, embodying and displaying a rich inventory of archaeological, cultural and architectural heritage. Its consistent strategic importance has continuously attracted urban development often negatively impacting layers of history and unfortunately erasing in many cases significant tangible archaeological and architectural testimonies from different periods. It is worth noting that the historic layers of 20th century including neoclassical, premodern and communist architecture is one of the layers that is mostly unstudied and generally underrated. Triggered by the fact that the underground of Durrës was one of the three first Albanian urban ensembles designated as “Museum City” since 1961 and that there was a specific regulation drawn for the protection of the historic centre since 1986, the question remains: what constitutes now the historic centre of Durrës? In attempting to respond to this question, this paper examines the city’s morphological evolution in both urban and architectural scale, aiming to define what can now be defined as the historic core of the city. The study adopts the Historic Urban Landscape approach, promoting a holistic understanding of the heritage urban layers and their significance.

Authors: Peti Kelvi , Kacani Artan ,   POLIS University
Published: July 2024

This study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of walkability within a city and evaluate its potential impacts on the community. The research focuses on assessing the "walkability" level of several key streets, including “Rruga Kavajes”, “Rruga e Durresit”, and “Deshmorët e Kombit” Boulevard. The analysis is based on a set of indicators, (MCA), which have been assessed and weighted as outlined in the provided table. Field measurements were primarily conducted to estimate the performance of each indicator. The final evaluation reveals that "Deshmorët e Kombit" Boulevard scored highest across the criteria associated with a walkable street. This assessment provides insights into the variation in walkability levels across key areas of the city and their potential impact on the local community. The study serves as a foundation for further discussions on necessary infrastructural enhancements and interventions aimed at improving walkability and aligning with sustainable development goals.

Authors: J Rukkesh , P GOMATHI PRIYA
Published: July 2024

The exploration of economical and nature friendly adsorbents for dye elimination from effluent is a promising area of research, driven by the need for sustainable and economically viable solutions. This work deals with the adsorption features of Acid Blue 25 (AB25) and Acid Green 25 (AG25) dyes from aqueous solutions using spent brewery grains (SBG). After brewing process, the obtained residue consists of spent grains. Optimum conditions for AB25 & AG25 removal were found to be at pH 2, adsorbent dosage as 0.8 and 1 g/L of solution respectively and equilibrium time was found to be 60 mins. In order to adjudicate the adsorption process, analysis was carried out with kinetic and isothermal two parameter and three parameter models. The results were discovered to fit most with the pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.990) for the kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.993) for the adsorption isotherms. The isotherms and kinetics verified that SBG had a high value of adsorption capacity. Experiment results pointed out SBG is one of the best adsorbent that eco-friendly, economical, readily accessible, and efficient on the removal of AB25 and AG25 dyes from aqueous solution.
EXPLORING THE VALUE CO-CREATION INTENTIONS IN UROLOGY FOR MEDICAL DEVICE BRANDS: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF CUSTOMER BRAND ENGAGEMENT
Authors: Sulistyawati Fifi , Wibowo Mas Wahyu
Published: July 2024

Amidst the Indonesian Government and the Ministry of Health's initiative to enhance the quality of healthcare services, particularly in urology, focusing on using advanced medical equipment and the improvement of urological competencies, the healthcare industry in Indonesia has experienced significant growth. This study explored consumer perspectives on urology medical device brands, leading to the concept of value co-creation between consumers and brands. Through a survey of 140 urology resident doctors analyzed using quantitative methodology and PLS-SEM, the study found that customer-customer interaction influences consumer brand engagement but does not directly affect value co-creation intention. Conversely, customer-seller interaction has a significant positive impact on value co-creation intention and consumer brand engagement. The findings of this study suggest enhancing customer-seller interaction and leveraging consumer brand engagement to promote value co-creation intention, as well as the importance of developing quality customer interactions to strengthen their engagement with the brand.
Don’t Give-Up: Why some intervention schemes encourage suboptimal behavior
Authors: Cohen Doron , Shavit Yael , Teodorescu Kinneret
Published: July 2024

Many social challenges stem from individuals’ tendency to prefer immediately rewarding but suboptimal behaviors (“Give-Up” options) over more costly endeavors that yield much better outcomes in the long run (“Try” options). For example, many people forgo the long-term benefits of formal education, healthy diets, learning new technologies, and even finding true love. This paper examines various incentivization programs that combine external rewards and punishments to discourage such counterproductive behaviors, which often result in only temporary behavioral change. Our findings suggest that some interventions’ limited impact may be due to their focus on only shifting behaviors from “Give-Up” (e.g., dropping out of college, avoiding the gym) to “Try” (e.g., attending college, exercising regularly), without promoting sufficient exploration of these “Try” options. Yet exploration of the long-term benefits of “Trying” may be crucial to increase the chances of long-term learning and commitment. Using a simplified abstraction of this dilemma, our results show a high tendency to choose “Give-Up” options prior to intervention. Examination of four different incentivization strategies suggests that only rewarding exploration of new “Try” options is a straightforward strategy to increase exploration and optimal choice. Punishing both the selection of “Give-Up” options and the choice to exploit suboptimal “Try” options produced similar results. Other common guidance strategies were less effective, as these strategies simply tended to replace one suboptimal behavior with another. Surprisingly, punishments seemed to be a relatively more successful incentive than rewards. We discuss how these insights can help guide policy aiming to improve long-term outcomes through incentivization.

Efficient Resource Allocation in Kubernetes Using Machine Learning
Authors: Dheeraj Konidena Shankar
Published: July 2024

Kubernetes is a distinguished open-source container orchestration system in cloud computing and containerized applications. Google developed it, and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation now maintains it. Kubernetes offers a robust framework for automating application deployment scaling and management, revolutionizing how organizations use their containerized workloads and providing huge flexibility and feasibility. The current paper explores the application of machine learning algorithms to optimize resource allocation in Kubernetes environments. As the complexity of cloud-native applications increases because of various engagements, it is vital to maintain performance and cost- effectiveness. This study also evaluates various machine learning models and techniques and their relevancy in areas such as anomaly detection and enhancing overall cluster utilization. Our findings include machine learning-driven methodologies that will significantly improve performance utilizing historical data. Kubernetes's decentralized nature requires a scalable structure for task scheduling to accommodate dynamic workloads conveniently. The AIMD algorithm, a celebrated method for congestion avoidance in network management, inspires our approach. Computing clusters can be challenging to deploy and manage due to their complexity. Monitoring systems collect large amounts of data, which is daunting to understand manually. Machine learning provides a viable solution to detect anomalies in a Kubernetes cluster. KAD (Kubernetes et al.) is one such algorithm that can solve the Cluster anomalies problem. Enormous Cloud native applications market is projected to reach 17.0 billion USD by 2028, which was USD 5.9 billion in 2023. On par with those numbers is the global Machine Learning (ML) market size, which was valued at $19.20 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow from $26.03 billion in 2023 to $225.91 billion by 2030 (As per Fortune Business Insights). At the conjecture, both markets will take innovation to a new level, offering more adaptive solutions for contemporary cloud infrastructures.

Authors: G. Estoconing Reyma
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of socio-demographic variables and factors on the financial literacy of teachers in Cluster IV, Davao City division. A total of 122 teachers in the public secondary Schools in Cluster IV Davao City division were identified through stratified random sampling. The study utilized a descriptive-predictive design. Adapted survey questionnaires which focused on the factors affecting financial literacy of teachers were utilized in the gathering of data. Frequency and Percentage, Mean, and Logistic Regression analysis were used as statistical tools of the study. Results revealed that the socio-demographic profile of the teachers which composed of age, gender, income, and educational qualifications highlighted higher number of female respondents than their male counterpart. Most teacher-respondents were under the age bracket of 31-40, with an income of Php 30,000 to 40,000, and were about to acquire their master’s degree. The level of the factors revealed very high ratings on financial knowledge, financial behavior, financial attitudes, and investing and savings. Financial attitudes obtained the highest mean rating while financial behavior recorded the lowest mean rating. The profile of financial literacy of teachers showed higher number of teachers who were not financially literate. Financial knowledge and financial attitudes significantly influenced financial literacy of teachers. Financial knowledge has the highest degree of influence to the financial literacy of teachers. This study also recommended that School Administrators should provide an intervention program or conference may be conducted by school administrators to guide and reinforce teachers understanding regarding financial literacy.
Exploring Citizens’ Intention to Use Self-Service Technologies in Guyana: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach
Authors: Sarran Dave
Published: July 2024

Self-service technologies (SSTs) are becoming increasingly relevant in both developed and developing nations. SSTs which include but are not limited to automated teller machines (ATMs) and self-service kiosks, present accessibility and efficiency gains to the organisations which choose to implement them. However, there are challenges to the successful implementation of SSTs, especially in developing countries. Thus, it is essential to develop an understanding of the factors that impact the adoption of self-service technologies. This study is aimed at measuring the factors impacting citizens’ intention to use self-service technology, specifically self-service kiosks to renew driver’s licenses and motor vehicle documentation in the country of Guyana. This study proposes a conceptual model that extends the Technology Acceptance Model to incorporate the constructs of Resistance to Change, Technology Anxiety and User Interface as additional predictor variables. Using data collected from an online survey of 298 Guyanese citizens, the model was tested and validated using Partial Least Square - Structural Equational Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results of the study showed that resistance to change, technology anxiety and user interface were found to be predictors of perceived ease of use. Technology anxiety was found to be a predictor of Resistance to Change. Perceived ease of use was found to be a significant predictor of perceived usefulness while perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were found to be significant predictors of attitude towards use. Lastly, attitude towards use was found to be a significant predictor of intention to use self-service kiosks. The findings of this study aim to provide a better understanding of the determinants of citizens’ intention to use self-service technologies in Guyana which will help practitioners in designing and offering self-service systems to the public.

Infrared Spectroscopic and Physical Properties of Methanol Ices—Reconciling the Conflicting Published Band Strengths of an Important Interstellar Solid
Authors: Hudson Reggie L. , Gerakines Perry A. , Yarnall Yukiko Y.
Published: July 2024

Infrared spectroscopic observations have established the presence of solid methanol (CH3OH) in the interstellar medium and in solar system ices, but the abundance of frozen CH3OH cannot be deduced without accurate band strengths, optical constants, and reference spectra. In this paper we identify disagreements, omissions, and gaps in the literature on infrared (IR) intensities of methanol ices, including unaddressed concerns that reach back several decades. New spectra are presented with intensity measurements aided by new data on the index of refraction and density of solid CH3OH. The result is that the large discordant results from different laboratory groups can now be reconciled. Multiple ices have been used to determine, apparently for the first time, IR intensities of H2O + CH3OH mixtures of accurately known composition for use with observations of interstellar ices. Also for the first time, measurements on CH3OH ices with different thicknesses have allowed us to report both near-IR band strengths and optical constants for two near-IR features used by planetary scientists. We have used our new IR results to determine vapor pressures of solid CH3OH and have compared them to measurements made with a quartz-crystal microbalance. Thermal annealings of methanol ices have been carried out and phase changes in the solid state examined. Comparisons of our results to earlier work are presented where possible, and electronic versions of our new results are made available.
Runaway Eccentricity Growth: A Pathway for Binary Black Hole Mergers in AGN Disks
Authors: Calcino Josh , Dempsey Adam M. , Dittmann Alexander J. , Li Hui
Published: July 2024

Binary black holes (BBHs) embedded within the accretion disks that fuel active galactic nuclei (AGN) are promising progenitors for the source of gravitational wave (GW) events detected by LIGO/VIRGO. Several recent studies have shown that when these binaries form, they are likely to be highly eccentric and retrograde. However, many uncertainties remain concerning the orbital evolution of these binaries as they either inspiral toward merger or disassociate. Previous hydrodynamical simulations exploring their orbital evolution have been predominantly two-dimensional or have been restricted to binaries on nearly circular orbits. We present the first high-resolution, three-dimensional local shearing-box simulations of both prograde and retrograde eccentric BBHs embedded in AGN disks. We find that retrograde binaries shrink several times faster than their prograde counterparts and exhibit significant orbital eccentricity growth, the rate of which monotonically increases with binary eccentricity. Our results suggest that retrograde binaries may experience runaway orbital eccentricity growth, which may bring them close enough together at pericenter for GW emission to drive them to coalescence. Although their eccentricity is damped, prograde binaries shrink much faster than their orbital eccentricity decays, suggesting they should remain modestly eccentric as they contract toward merger. Finally, binary precession driven by the AGN disk may dominate over precession induced by the supermassive black hole depending on the binary accretion rate and its location in the AGN disk, which can subdue the evection resonance and von Ziepel–Lidov–Kozai cycles.
Effect of Rotation on Wave Mixing in Intermediate-mass Stars

Published: July 2024

Internal gravity waves are likely to cause mixing in stellar interiors. Studies show that the mixing by these waves changes drastically across age and mass. Here, we study the effect of rotation on this wave mixing by considering a 7 M
⊙ model at zero-age main sequence and mid-main sequence. We compare the mixing profiles at a range of rotation rates (1 × 10−5, 2 × 10−5, 3 × 10−5, 4 × 10−5, and 1 × 10−4 rad s−1) and observe that the mixing decreases with decreasing Rossby number. This can be attributed to the effect of rotation on convection, which influences the amplitude with which the waves are excited near the convective–radiative interface.
X-Ray Quasi-periodic Eruptions and Tidal Disruption Events Prefer Similar Host Galaxies

Published: July 2024

In the past 5 yr, six X-ray quasi-periodic eruption (QPE) sources have been discovered in the nuclei of nearby galaxies. Their origin remains an open question. We present Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer integral field spectroscopy of five QPE host galaxies to characterize their properties. We find that 3/5 galaxies host extended emission-line regions (EELRs) up to 10 kpc in size. The EELRs are photoionized by a nonstellar continuum, but the current nuclear luminosity is insufficient to power the observed emission lines. The EELRs are decoupled from the stars both kinematically and in projected sky position, and the low velocities and velocity dispersions (<100 km s−1 and ≲75 km s−1, respectively) are inconsistent with being driven by active galactic nuclei (AGNs) or shocks. The origin of the EELRs is likely a previous phase of nuclear activity. QPE host galaxies share several similarities with tidal disruption event (TDE) hosts, including an overrepresentation of galaxies with strong Balmer absorption and little ongoing star formation, as well as a preference for a short-lived (the typical EELR lifetime is ∼15,000 yr), gas-rich phase where the nucleus has recently faded significantly. This suggests that QPEs and TDEs may share a common formation channel, disfavoring AGN accretion disk instabilities as the origin of QPEs. If QPEs are related to extreme mass ratio inspiral systems (EMRIs), e.g., stellar-mass objects on bound orbits about massive black holes, the high incidence of EELRs and recently faded nuclei could be used to localize the hosts of EMRIs discovered by low-frequency gravitational-wave observatories.

Published: July 2024

Small solar system bodies may reach hyperbolic orbits after a close interaction with a giant planet. Comet C/1980 E1 (Bowell), with a current value of the eccentricity of 1.057733 ± 0.000008, reached its present-day path after a close encounter with Jupiter in 1980. Comet A117uUD was found by ATLAS South Africa on 2024 June 14. Its current orbit determination, based on 142 observations for a data-arc span of 31 days, places A117uUD among the bodies following hyperbolic orbits (19.51σ, eccentricity of 1.037 ± 0.002). However, it did not come from interstellar space. Here, we show that it reached its current hyperbolic trajectory after a close encounter with Saturn in 2022.
To a dispersion law of an electromagnetic wave in a medium having a double anisotropy
Authors: Sobol Valery R. , Silibin Maxim V. , Karpinsky Dmitry V.
Published: July 2024

Dispersion relations for a transverse electromagnetic wave in a hypothetical medium having a low crystalline symmetry and double anisotropy are formulated phenomenological based on the general concepts of Maxwell's equations. Formalism for electrical and magnetic ordering of a medium is represented by tensor coefficients of the second rank in a general coordinate system corresponding to an external problem of incidence, reflection and refraction of a transverse wave at the interface. Based on the obtained dispersion law, the Snell law of refraction for the wave vector is displayed, as well as, some special cases for a section of a wave surface and a ray surface in the plane of incidence. Following Fresnel approach as usual, two characteristic types of linear polarization of an electric induction vector of a propagating wave are considered for a wave entering a double anisotropic medium at an arbitrary angle to the interface. Based on a character of a cross-section of a wave surface and of a ray surface for the plane of incidence, the degree of influence of anisotropy on a propagating field is discussed in terms of external/internal conic refraction of ordinary/extraordinary waves in a transparent medium. Following to initially general form of the permittivity ε^ and the magnetic permeability μ^ tensors some particular cases of a more favorable choice of coordinate system are analyzed to decrease a number of non-zero components in mentioned tensors, as well as to decrease in the number of elements in vector relations.
Pollen transfer efficiency in Erica depends on type of pollinator
Authors: McCarren Sam , Midgley Jeremy J. , Coetzee Anina , Johnson Steven D.
Published: July 2024

Pollen transfer efficiency (PTE; the proportion of pollen removed from flowers that reaches conspecific stigmas) is expected to vary with the type of pollinator and flower morphology, and to influence male siring success. Many species in the genus Erica are pollinated by bees (which consume pollen and should thus lower PTE) but during its radiation in the Cape, several independent shifts to both sunbird and long-proboscid fly (LP fly) pollinators, which do not consume pollen have taken place. Improvements in PTE could be one of the factors driving these pollinator shifts. PTE data for 15 Erica species (five for each of the three pollinator types) were collected and compared in relation to type of pollinator and anther exsertion. LP fly- and bird-pollinated species had higher PTE in comparison with bee-pollinated species. Species with inserted anthers had higher PTE than those with exserted anthers. This suggests that sunbirds and LP flies are more efficient pollinators than bees. Additionally, the study suggests that insertion of anthers within the corolla tube can reduce pollen losses.

L’usage et le rôle des cryptoactifs dans le sport
Authors: Llorca Matthieu
Published: July 2024

Le récent essor des cryptoactifs cible, ces dernières années, l’industrie du sport professionnel, notamment la NBA, la Formule 1 et le football, en Amérique du Nord, mais aussi en Europe. Divers supports ont été développés de la part des plateformes digitales d’échange de cryptos, tels que le sponsoring traditionnel et des contrats de naming , l’émission de jetons fongibles et non fongibles (NFT), voire même le paiement des salaires des sportifs et de leurs primes en cryptos. En effet, le sport apparaît comme une vitrine mondiale pour les acteurs cryptos qui collaborent avec les organisations sportives, les clubs et les franchises nord-américaines, afin de cibler une clientèle jeune et réceptive aux cryptos. Toutefois, un tel essor, qui a bénéficié de l’euphorie des années 2020-2021 sur le marché des cryptos, fait naître de nombreuses menaces qui se sont manifestées durant l’année 2022, qualifiée d’« hiver des cryptos ». La faillite de la plateforme de cryptos FTX, le 10 novembre 2022, marque alors un coup d’arrêt et se traduit par le désengagement de nombreuses plateformes cryptos du sport. Classification JEL :

La tâche de Stroop est une tâche difficile qui consiste à indiquer dans quelle couleur est écrit un mot de nom de couleur en évitant de lire ce mot. Ainsi, si le mot « bleu » est écrit en rouge, la réponse correcte est ROUGE tandis que la réponse incorrecte est « bleu ». L’effet Stroop se produit lorsque les participants donnent la réponse incorrecte et/ou en un temps de réponse trop long. Pour en mesurer l’effet, on compare la réussite dans la condition Stroop pour laquelle faut indiquer la couleur d’un mot qui est un nom de couleur à celle qui est observée dans la condition où il faut indiquer la couleur d’un carré et dans la condition où il faut lire le nom d’une couleur écrit en noir. Dans cette étude, l’effet Stroop est utilisé pour mesurer les conséquences produites par une personne qui regarde directement la réussite de l’élève d’œil observateur, selon le visage qui observe la résolution de la tâche de Stroop semble confiant ou méfiant quant au possible succès. Les résultats, compatibles avec les effets Pygmalion et Golem, sont comparés à la tâche de Stroop sans effet de regard et discutés au regard de la possibilité de développer pleinement ses propres capacités et possibilités, de réussir de manière autonome selon sa propre volonté.
Une singularité agraire : le servage westphalien tardif
Authors: Bressan Thierry
Published: July 2024

Entre Rhin et Weser, la Westphalie du xviii e  siècle, morcelée entre de nombreuses souverainetés, semblait à l’écart du vaste mouvement européen des Lumières. D’autant qu’elle présentait toujours, au sein de sa population rurale, une forme de servage à la fois originale et importante, l’ Eigenbehörigkeit , centrée autour du pays munstérois : une forme importante non seulement par la superficie, la population et la législation concernées, mais aussi par la rigueur de certains de ses aspects (en particulier de son droit de mainmorte). En outre, relativement aux autres régions ouest-allemandes, l’aire westphalienne tarda à connaître, en ce domaine, un véritable mouvement émancipateur. En effet, un tel processus, pourtant annoncé par des débats antérieurs et quelques initiatives locales (notamment en terre prussienne), ne débuta sérieusement qu’avec l’occupation française de 1806-1813, pour s’achever une génération après, au lendemain des révolutions de 1830.
La reprise d’entreprise en coopérative après une lutte syndicale : une utopie confrontée à ses réalités ?
Authors: Gibard Willy
Published: July 2024

Les coopératives figurent en bonne place parmi les alternatives concrètes au capitalisme. En ouvrant la boîte noire d’une relance d’entreprise pilotée par des syndicalistes, Willy Gibard montre toutefois que l’expérience coopérative n’est pas toujours synonyme d’émancipation. La relance en coopérative a certes renforcé les espaces de participation au travail, mais en redéfinissant tant le rôle du syndicat que la nature des rapports entre cadres et ouvrier·es, elle déstabilise les repères qui permettaient aux ouvrier·es de développer un rapport mobilisé à leur travail.
Quelles stratégies politiques pour le mouvement des communs ?
Authors: Shulz Sébastien
Published: July 2024

La théorie des communs explique comment des « commoneur·es » s’auto-organisent pour gérer durablement des ressources partagées, en dehors des cadres institutionnels du marché et de l’État. Toutefois, cette théorie n’intègre pas suffisamment les stratégies déployées pour se prémunir contre les menaces du capitalisme et de l’État et pour se développer en transformant ce dernier à leur avantage. En s’appuyant sur les travaux du sociologue Erik Olin Wright, cet article défend l’hypothèse selon laquelle ces stratégies politiques sont cruciales pour expliquer la soutenabilité des communs dans le temps. Leur intégration dans la théorie des communs enrichirait non seulement la compréhension des facteurs assurant leur pérennité, mais fournirait également des outils tactiques essentiels pour les acteurs du mouvement des communs qui cherchent à les instituer comme un modèle structurant de notre société.

Published: July 2024

Alors que la bourgeoisie est une cible privilégiée des poètes et des écrivains au milieu du XIX e  siècle, Champfleury, dans son roman Les Bourgeois de Molinchart , en donne une vision caricaturale et satirique magistrale. L’analyse détaillée de plusieurs épisodes romanesques clés fait apparaître l’art subtil avec lequel il campe ses personnages. L’humour et l’ironie féroce avec lesquels sont dénoncés leurs ridicules ou leur noirceur placent l’auteur au rang des plus grands écrivains satiriques. L’étude des procédés de cette esthétique s’accompagne de la mise en évidence d’une autre veine, la fantaisie. Le glissement vers des genres différents caractérise l’écriture du romancier.

Chansons de jadis et naguère. Autour de l’historicité de la chanson populaire – 1830-1940
Authors: Goupil-Lucas-fontaine Marie
Published: July 2024

Comment s’opère le tri, dans la production de chansons d’une époque, qui aboutit à conserver la mémoire de certaines chansons, airs et paroles, et pas d’autres ? Autrement dit, comment une chanson devient « historique » ? La notion de chanson ancienne émerge au xix e  siècle en même temps que celle de « chanson populaire ». Cet article se propose de poser les jalons d’une histoire du processus de patrimonialisation de la chanson jusqu’au milieu du xx e  siècle, parallèlement au développement de la chanson industrielle.
De la régulation déléguée à la constitution d’écosystèmes vertueux. Droit économique et remondialisation
Authors: Bouthinon-Dumas Hugues
Published: July 2024

Cet article explore une source possible de transformation de la mondialisation sous l’effet des obligations de compliance impliquant une évaluation ou un audit des tiers et du devoir de vigilance qui oblige les entreprises assujetties à répondre des agissements de leurs filiales, sous-traitants et fournisseurs. Les grandes entreprises sont ainsi amenées à jouer un rôle de « régulateur délégué » puisqu’elles doivent veiller à ce que leurs cocontractants et les entités présentes dans leur chaîne de valeur agissent dans le respect des intérêts que les autorités publiques entendent protéger. Dès lors que les grandes entreprises doivent exercer un contrôle sur les entreprises qui leur sont liées, elles auront tendance à constituer des filières ayant en partage un certain niveau de conformité. Cet article propose une description du rôle que ces « écosystèmes vertueux » sont ainsi appelés à jouer dans la « remondialisation ».
Using Digital Interventions to Support Faculty Development and Enhance Learning Transfer
Authors: Elliott Brenda , Chargualaf Katie A. , Patterson Barbara
Published: July 2024

Background:

New approaches to faculty development are needed. A longitudinal multimodal approach to faculty development was undertaken to enhance content learning transfer from a workshop to teaching practice.

Method:

Ten timed digital interventions were delivered to nurse educators every 3 to 4 weeks over 10 months following a 5-hour workshop. The Kirkpatrick model was used to evaluate the intervention.

Results:

Postintervention results support timed digital interventions as an innovative way to leverage technology used by faculty every day to facilitate transfer of learning of veteran-centered care content covered during a workshop to their teaching practice.

Conclusion:

Future considerations include application to other areas of nursing education practice.

Use of high throughput DNA analysis to characterize the nodule-associated bacterial community from four ages of Inga punctata trees in a Costa Rican cloud forest
Authors: Eaton William D. , Hamilton Debra A. , Chen Wen , Lemenze Alexander , Soteropoulos Patricia
Published: July 2024

Leguminous tree root nodule nitrogen-fixing bacteria are critical for recuperation of soil C and N cycle processes after disturbance in tropical forests, while other nodule-associated bacteria (NAB) may enhance nodule development and activity, and plant growth. However, little is known of these root nodule microbiomes. Through DNA analysis, we evaluated the bacterial taxa associated with the root nodules of the 1-year-old, 2-year-old, 13-year-old, and old growth Inga punctata trees in a cloud forest. Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens was the dominant taxon found in all nodules at 63.16% to 85.71% mean percent sequences (MPS) of the total nodule bacterial DNA and was found in the youngest nodules examined (1 year old), suggesting that it is the primary nodular bacteria. There were 26 other NAB genera with collective MPS levels between 7.4% to 12.2%, while 15 of these genera were found in the Bulk Forest soils at collective MPS levels of 4.6%. These bacterial community compositions were different between the NAB and Bulk Forest soils, suggesting the NAB became concentrated within the root nodules, resulting in communities with different compositions from the Bulk Forest soils. Twenty-three of the 26 NAB genera were previously identified with the potential to perform 9 plant growth promoting (PGP) activities, suggesting their importance in root nodule development and plant growth. These NAB communities appeared to successionally develop over time into more complex taxonomic communities, which is consistent with the outcome of advanced microbial communities following succession. The presence of both B. diazoefficiens and the NAB communities in the nodules across all ages of tree roots, and the potential for PGP activities linked with most of the NAB genera, suggest the importance of B. diazoefficiens and the NAB community for nodule development and enhanced development and growth of I. punctata throughout its lifespan, and most critically in the younger plants.
Élaboration d’un nouveau discours grammatical pour le français en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles : Bilan de vingt ans de recherche
Authors: Van Raemdonck Dan
Published: July 2024

Cette contribution traitera de 20 ans de recherche consacrée à l'élaboration d’un nouveau discours grammatical et d’une nouvelle progression curriculaire pour le français en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles.Seront envisagées les différentes étapes mises en œuvre afin de parvenir aux résultats obtenus à ce jour : l'enquête sur la situation réalisée auprès d’enseignants (2003-2004) ; l'élaboration 1° d'un nouveau « savoir savant » (à charge du linguiste) ; 2° de sa transposition par les linguistes eux-mêmes, les didacticiens et les enseignants en « savoir enseignable » afin qu’il puisse, à la suite d’une transposition didactique par les enseignants, devenir « savoir enseigné » ; 3° de la progression curriculaire ; 4° de l'expérimentation dans des classes ; et enfin 5° du « savoir à enseigner » et de son explicitation, après négociation avec l'institution scolaire en charge d’en décider (linguistes, didacticiens, pédagogues, membres des réseaux d’enseignement, service de pilotage de l’enseignement, inspection, politiques) pour négocier la transformation du discours grammatical dans les classes.
Comment contourner l’obstacle « grammaire » ? Deux propositions
Authors: Siouffi Gilles , Ramos-Filaire Vincent
Published: July 2024

L’enseignement de la grammaire du français semble rebuter a priori les élèves. Plusieurs raisons expliquent ce phénomène ; elles reposent pour l’essentiel sur des malentendus notionnels, des ambiguïtés définitionnelles, des contradictions théoriques et une formation linguistique fondamentale jugée insuffisante. Nous proposons deux pistes testées en classes de collège susceptibles d’aider à contourner les obstacles rencontrés, dans l’optique d’amener les élèves à adopter une démarche de linguistes, c’est-à-dire à envisager les normes qui régissent tant la maitrise de la langue que son étude en tant qu’elles sont des normes et non des concepts définitifs, invariants et dont on ne demanderait qu’une appropriation passive. La première démarche décrite s’appuie sur une perspective historique, qui permet de replacer des faits de langue — notamment le code écrit du français — dans leur contexte diachronique, pour en mesurer les évolutions et en éclairer les apparentes contradictions en les relativisant. La seconde, contrastive et imitée de ce qui se pratique régulièrement dans l’apprentissage du français langue seconde, vise à produire chez les élèves une compréhension plus fine des enjeux de l’analyse grammaticale, en faisant se confronter plusieurs manières d’aborder un même concept grammatical tel qu’il s’exprime dans la diversité des langues étudiées et parlées par eux. Dans tous les cas, l’objectif est identique : créer une « diversion » à même de susciter des interrogations fertiles en ce qu’elles pourraient amener les élèves à ne pas concevoir la grammaire comme un pensum relevant de la simple acquisition d’une norme aux contours flous et incertains, mais plutôt comme un exercice intellectuel fécond, riche et motivant.
Les glossaires comme supports d’élaboration grammaticale en contexte de formation

Published: July 2024

Cet article présente un dispositif de formation, en contexte de (pré-)professionnalisation au professorat (Académie de Montpellier, 2023), s’appuyant sur la terminologie et ses représentations. Mise en place sur quatre sites, auprès d’étudiants et stagiaires inscrits en premier comme en second cycles universitaires (n=266), l’expérimentation examine en quoi le recours aux glossaires, à des fins d’auto-évaluation des connaissances et de sensibilisation aux enjeux de leur didactisation, constitue, parmi d’autres, un possible support d’élaboration grammaticale.
