Estimation de la contribution de la production potagère domestique au système alimentaire local
Authors: Marie Maxime 
Published: December 2019

L’objectif de cet article est d’interroger la contribution des productions potagères domestiques dans le fonctionnement des systèmes alimentaires locaux, il s’appuie sur l’étude comparée de trois agglomérations de l’ouest de la France : Rennes, Caen, et Alençon. La méthodologie mise en place pour cette recherche repose sur un inventaire à échelle fine des espaces de la production potagère et sur une enquête auprès de jardiniers cultivant un potager. Les résultats montrent que les surfaces dédiées à la production potagère, bien que souvent mésestimées, sont très importantes dans les agglomérations étudiées (près de 45 ha à Rennes, un peu plus de 50 ha à Caen et environ 25 ha à Alençon). Ce travail fait ainsi apparaître la place centrale des potagers cultivés dans les jardins privés des maisons au sein des surfaces potagères totales. Leur inscription spatiale n’est pas homogène et rend compte des effets de la morphologie urbaine et de la composition sociale des quartiers. On constate également que les villes les plus marquées par la présence des catégories populaires et des retraités sont celles où les surfaces de potagers par ménage sont les plus importantes. Enfin, une estimation de la contribution des productions potagères domestiques au système alimentaire local a été mise en place. Elle montre que cette contribution est différenciée suivant les agglomérations et les quartiers, et ce, en fonction de plusieurs paramètres : la composition sociale de la population, la morphologie urbaine et l’accès à un espace de culture.

Une étude ethnobotanique auprès des principaux groupes ethniques a été conduite sur les plantes ligneuses dans les terroirs riverains de la Réserve de biosphère du Mono au Bénin récemment créée et reconnue par l’Unesco en juin 2017. L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer les espèces ligneuses à fortes valeurs d’usage ethnobotanique en vue de mettre à la disposition des gestionnaires les espèces importantes à conserver et à promouvoir dans l’aménagement de la réserve. Des enquêtes ethnobotaniques ont été menées dans 26 villages riverains de la réserve où 593 personnes appartenant à cinq groupes socio-culturels ont été sélectionnées de façon aléatoire parmi la population riveraine et enquêtées. L’analyse des données collectées a été faite en utilisant le taux de réponse des organes utilisés, le facteur de consensus au sein des enquêtés « Informant Consensus Factor » et la valeur d’usage ethnobotanique. Au total 101 espèces ligneuses ont été identifiées et réparties dans huit catégories d’usage. Les espèces présentant une forte Valeur d'usage ethnobotanique (VUE) sont respectivement Elaeis guineensis (VUE = 18,9), Ficus trichopoda (VUE = 18,5), Diospyros mespiliformis (VUE = 16), Azadirachta indica (VUE = 15,7), Vitex doniana (VUE = 15) et Mitragyna inermis (VUE = 14,8). La valeur d’usage ethnobotanique totale des espèces varie significativement selon les groupes socio-culturels (p < 0,0001 et ddl = 4). Cette étude a permis de mettre en exergue les espèces à fortes potentialités qui devraient être promues dans les actions de reboisement à grande échelle ou en jardin de case afin d’améliorer leur disponibilité et contribuer à la conservation durable du potentiel ligneux de la réserve.
Des tortues exotiques en ville : évaluation, perceptions et propositions de gestion à Strasbourg, France

Published: December 2019

Les menaces qui pèsent sur la biodiversité conduisent à réfléchir sur le sens accordé au potentiel invasif d’espèces exogènes et aux modalités de leur gestion. La déconnexion des citadins de la nature complexifie les relations humains-non humains que nous invitons à penser en termes d’anthropologie multispécifique. Celle-ci interroge les formes de cohabitation du vivant et nous conduit à examiner les arbitrages concernant l’accueil ou l’exclusion d’espèces jugées envahissantes. Nous avons étudié les tortues exotiques présentes dans deux parcs de Strasbourg avec une double approche naturaliste et ethnologique. Plus de 60 individus de huit espèces de tortues exotiques ont été repérés au cours des étés 2017 et 2018. Les avis partagés sur la pertinence de leur présence révèlent un embarras certain des 87 informateurs. Les tortues représentent un facteur d’attraction et de reconnexion avec la nature, mais leur exotisme interroge ou inquiète. Il invite à confronter les valeurs qui leur sont attribuées pour reconsidérer les modalités de gestion de nos milieux. Une fois que les usagers des parcs sont informés par l’enquêteur sur l’origine et le potentiel envahissant en milieu naturel, la plupart préconisent l’extraction des individus vers des espaces dédiés, mais la perspective de leur destruction est globalement rejetée. L’analyse fine laisse pointer des postures nuancées ou perplexes sur la légitimité des humains à gouverner la nature. Plus largement, ce sont les rapports des urbains à la nature et à l’altérité que ces tortues permettent d’interroger.
Acceptabilité sociale des mesures d’adaptation au changement climatique en zones côtières : une revue de dix enquêtes menées en France métropolitaine

Published: December 2019

À partir d’une synthèse de dix enquêtes quantitatives réalisées au cours de la dernière décennie (2007-2017) en France métropolitaine, cet article vise à capitaliser des résultats de recherche sur les points de vue des citoyens relatifs aux mesures et aux modalités d’adaptation des territoires littoraux à l’élévation du niveau de la mer. Au-delà des perceptions et représentations sociales des phénomènes littoraux et des risques associés, l’article met en exergue, selon les territoires ou les types de population (résidents principaux, résidents secondaires, touristes...), l’influence de facteurs institutionnels sur l’acceptabilité des politiques de gestion du trait de côte : rôle de l’information, points de vue et représentations quant aux options d’adaptation (protection, ajustement, relocalisation…), légitimité et confiance vis-à-vis des institutions chargées de ces politiques, ou encore sentiments de justice ou d’injustice suscités par certaines mesures de financement des politiques d’adaptation. Parmi les résultats convergents, sont relevés un sentiment de manque ou de défaut d’information chez la plupart des enquêtés, ainsi qu’une approche séquentielle de l’adaptation où la relocalisation est davantage envisagée à moyen terme après une phase de protection. Concernant les modalités de mise en œuvre des mesures, un certain consensus émerge pour un portage par les autorités publiques (État notamment), associé à des mécanismes de solidarité financière (nationale ou régionale) et assorti de conditions sur la transparence et la légitimité des institutions gestionnaires.
A New Method for High-Degree Spline Interpolation: Proof of Continuity for Piecewise Polynomials
Authors: Pepin A. , Beauchemin S. S. , Léger S. , Beaudoin N. 
Published: December 2019

AbstractEffective and accurate high-degree spline interpolation is still a challenging task in today’s applications. Higher degree spline interpolation is not so commonly used, because it requires the knowledge of higher order derivatives at the nodes of a function on a given mesh.In this article, our goal is to demonstrate the continuity of the piecewise polynomials and their derivatives at the connecting points, obtained with a method initially developed by Beaudoin (1998, 2003) and Beauchemin (2003). This new method, involving the discrete Fourier transform (DFT/FFT), leads to higher degree spline interpolation for equally spaced data on an interval $[0,T]$. To do this, we analyze the singularities that may occur when solving the system of equations that enables the construction of splines of any degree. We also note an important difference between the odd-degree splines and even-degree splines. These results prove that Beaudoin and Beauchemin’s method leads to spline interpolation of any degree and that this new method could eventually be used to improve the accuracy of spline interpolation in traditional problems.

Assessment as Critical Programmatic Reflection
Authors: Reitenauer Vicki L. , Carpenter Rowanna L. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article argues that general education assessment is an opportunity for engaging faculty and the general education program as a whole in critical reflection on the practices and pedagogies that affect the entire undergraduate body. Through intentional assessment practices tied to learning outcomes, pedagogical expectations, and faculty and student classroom experience, an assessment program can meet accreditation expectations while serving as a rich location for critical reflection and continuous improvement. To illustrate, this article takes the reader through a year in the life of University Studies' assessment at Portland State University. It provides details about the individual elements of our assessment program (e.g., review of student ePortfolios, mid-term feedback, and course evaluations) and how these each provide opportunities for faculty and programmatic critical reflection. It describes both long-standing practices as well as new or experimental elements that arise from the current programmatic context, providing examples of the ways in which we continually evolve our practices. Finally, it weaves the elements together and identifies the strengths and challenges of our approach, as well as opportunities for deeper, increasingly impactful critical practice in the future.
University Studies Leadership: Vision and Challenge
Authors: Hamington Maurice , Ramaley Judith A. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Although University Studies at Portland State University often receives attention for its signature curricular structure of year-long thematic mentored Freshman Inquiry, thematic mentored Sophomore Inquiry, thematic departmental Cluster courses, and community-based Capstone courses, it is the underlying pedagogical values and philosophy that represent the real revolution in higher education—a revolution that is ongoing at Portland State. Few large state universities can claim to offer a quarter-century of experience with general education change of this magnitude. This article addresses how a shared purpose evolved over the course of University Studies' history and was impacted by what various leaders emphasized during their tenure. Representing bookends of the quarter-century existence of University Studies, two voices make up the authorship of the article: the president of Portland State at the time of the founding of University Studies, who catalyzed the processes that led to this ground-breaking program, and the current executive director, who has made transparent the ethic of care embedded in the program from the start. Together, the authors tell the story of University Studies' past and present and look to its future, highlighting how evidence-based, relational, caring innovation has resulted in the program through the collaborations of its empowered constituents.
Conclusion to Special Volume: Always Connect
Authors: Carpenter Rowanna L. , Hamington Maurice 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
One of the assumptions in the notion of “connection” is that there are discrete entities to connect. In some ways, the ethos of Portland State's University Studies program is pushing the boundaries of this understanding of connection toward even a deeper sense of being part of one another. As the issues in this volume have focused on students, faculty, community, and leadership, we feel a nagging dissatisfaction with the limitations imposed by these categories. Although titles and roles persist (and are necessary) because University Studies is part of an academic institution, in the lived pursuit of inquiry, the labels can and do become blurred: faculty are students, leaders are colleagues, and community partners are teachers. In a sense, the 25-year journey from reform to revolution is what has occurred in University Studies. What began as an innovative configuration for delivering general education has blossomed into a living challenge to the traditions of higher education—and, we assert, our interconnected communities are all the better for it.

O presente trabalho é oriundo de um grupo de pesquisa integrado por professores, mestrandos e bolsistas de graduação, e tem como objetivo relatar o desenvolvimento e os resultados emergentes de uma atividade investigativa elaborada pelo grupo em questão. Os dados aqui apresentados procedem de uma formação continuada de professores, realizada em uma cidade do Vale do Taquari, no segundo semestre do ano de 2017, em que o grupo de pesquisa, em conjunto com a Secretaria Municipal, propôs a realização de atividades de cunho exploratório-investigativa. O objetivo era integrar setenta professores que atuavam nos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental de modo que os envolvidos participassem de forma ativa e se inteirassem de novos métodos de ensino. Salienta-se que a coleta de dados se embasou nas transcrições dos áudios gravados durante a prática, além de fotos e anotações contidas nos diários de campo dos pesquisadores. Os resultados analisados apontam a emergência de duas conjecturas diferentes para resolução da tarefa aplicada. Ademais, observou-se a importância do material manipulativo para alcançar o objetivo de encontrar conjecturas corretas para a tarefa.
Assessment of welfare and brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome signs in young, breeding age French Bulldogs and Pugs, using owner questionnaire, physical examination and walk tests
Authors: Aromaa M , Lilja-Maula L , Rajamäki MM 
Published: December 2019

AbstractBrachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is a major welfare problem in short-nosed breeds, such as the French Bulldog and Pug. In addition to respiratory difficulties, exercise intolerance and impaired recovery are major signs of BOAS. To select healthier breeding animals, exercise tolerance tests, such as the 1,000-m walk test, are already used in several countries for brachycephalic dogs, although evidence supporting their use is still scarce. The aims of this study were to assess the daily welfare of young, breeding-age French Bulldogs (n = 44) and Pugs (n = 51) using an owner questionnaire, and to evaluate 6-min walk test (6MWT) and 1,000-m walk test usability for differentiation between non-or mildly BOAS-affected dogs and more severely affected dogs. Only four out of 95 French Bulldog and Pug owners reported that the BOAS signs limited the daily activities of their dogs. However, according to the physical, examination-based veterinary BOAS grading, 31/95 of the dogs had moderate to severe BOAS signs. In both breeds, the more severely affected dogs performed both exercise tests more poorly than those with no or mild BOAS signs. The longer exercise, namely the 1,000-m test, seemed slightly better able at differentiating between affected dogs and less affected ones. The results of this study further support the use of exercise tests as an important part of the breeding selection in French Bulldogs and Pugs. By influencing the breed standards set by Kennel Clubs and by using breeding selection tools, the harmful impacts of brachycephaly can be diminished.
Application of a welfare assessment tool (Shelter Quality Protocol) in 64 Italian long-term dogs’ shelters: welfare hazard analysis
Authors: Arena L , Berteselli GV , Lombardo F , Candeloro L , Villa P Dalla , Massis F De 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThe confined environment of the dog shelter, particularly over extensive time-periods can impact severely on welfare. Surveillance and assessment are therefore essential components of the welfare protocol. The aim of this study was to generate a descriptive analysis of a sample of Italian long-term shelters and identify potential hazards regarding the welfare of shelter dogs. This was achieved through application of the Shelter Quality Protocol (SQP) to link income/outcome variables and the inclusion of sixty-four long-term shelters in Italy. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Key findings showed feeding regime, type of diet and access to outdoor area to be significantly associated with inadequate body condition score (BCS). The probability of observing skin lesions was shown to be influenced by bedding inadequacy and bedding type. Limiting beds to one per dog and utilising clean bedding materials was significantly associated with a reduced probability of observing dirty/wet dogs. Protection from adverse weather conditions and inadequate bedding were significantly associated with the manifestation of polypnea. Non-existent dog training facilities, outdoor access or leash walking were all found to significantly increase the likelihood of fearful or aggressive attitudes to people. Outdoor access also, in conjunction with feeding regime, was associated with the presence of diarrhoea. The SQP proved useful in identifying welfare hazards, both as regards shelter environment and shelter management. Identification of these hazards creates the opportunity for interventions to be applied, minimising the risks and improving the welfare of long-term shelter dogs.
Homer’s Odyssey: from classical poetry to threshold graphic narratives for dual readership
Authors: Moula Evangelia E , Malafantis Konstantinos D 
Published: December 2019

This article’s focus is some unconventional adaptations of the Odyssey in graphic language, belonging to the threshold literary field and contextualized in different historical and cultural milieus. Since ancient Greek literature in general and Homer in particular, ceased to be considered as sacred scripts, they discarded the centuries-long formalistic and idealistic approach and served as a vehicle for criticism or as a mirror of each receiving culture’s present. The kind of relation established between each adaptation and its pre-text is defined by the inscribed meta-narratives in its body. The graphic adaptations under discussion, countercultural, demystifying or even subversive, participate in the so called “cross-audience phenomenon”, addressing a dual readership, both children and adults. They aim at undermining the heroic ethos, provoking skepticism and criticizing allusively the contemporary politics. They also trivialize the original by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. This way they facilitate dialogue between past and present, by creating a contact zone within which pluralism is the major trait.

Young readers and a portuguese sonnet of the 18th century: a viable alliance? A trial in the 2nd Cycle of Basic Education
Authors: Custodio Pedro Balaus 
Published: December 2019

The program of the 2nd cycle of Basic Education in Portugal contains several guidelines on the teaching of the poetic text, not only in terms of contents and objectives, but also concerning the suggestion of texts to read. These proposals are always supported by the lists included in the National Reading Plan. Now, regarding the poetic text, inserted in the field called literary education, will it be useful to make available texts that deviate from the trajectories that the textbooks outline? Is it possible to embark on texts traditionally read by a more mature student audience? Will students be able to meet this challenge of reading and understanding without compromising their learning and tastes?
This article aims to describe a trial carried out with students from the 2nd cycle of primary education in Portugal, in which it is proposed the reading of a text commonly read and /or studied years later in secondary education. It is the sonnet " O colchão dentro do toucado " by Nicolau Tolentino, an author from the XVIII Century.

We will examine how this text can captivate the students and spark their interest for poetry through an extraordinary stylistic simplicity, a rhetoric stripped of adornments and an almost colloquial and graphic language that knows how to mix naivety, the unforeseen and some surprises, features so pleasing to these young readers.
Can this text contribute to the purpose of literary education of the reader of the 2nd cycle of basic education? In what way and by what means will we propose the reading of an eighteenth-century text to young people of the twenty-first century? These are the questions we will try to answer next.
El aula de música como ambiente sonoro de aprendizaje en Educación Infantil
Authors: Ciurana Gonzalez Marta , Alsina Tarrés Miquel 
Published: December 2019

Se presenta una investigación de campo que parte de la creación de un ambiente sonoro de aprendizaje en una escuela de Educación Infantil y Primaria. En este entorno, a través del juego libre, se observa y analiza la interacción con el medio del educando de segundo ciclo de Educación Infantil (n=104), organizados en 10 grupos de perfil homogéneo. En segundo lugar, se comparan los resultados entre las diferentes edades de la etapa educativa. Se sigue una metodología de investigación mixta, cualitativa y cuantitativa, bajo el paradigma del diseño secuencial exploratorio. Las sesiones se gravaron en video y se analizaron con una tabla de observación individual (TOIM) basándose en una categorización de los resultados preliminares. Los resultados muestran como el nuevo entorno y los objetos ofrecidos han permitido al alumnado desarrollar aprendizajes de manera global, más allá de aspectos relacionados con la exploración sonora. Se observan así mismo diferencias, de menos a más, en cómo se desarrollan estudiantes de diferentes edades, especialmente en referencia al tipo de juego, la aproximación a los objetos, la acción de producir y escuchar el sonido y en las relaciones sociales que se establecen.
