Diasporic dialogues: The role of gender, language, and revision in neo-slave narrative
Authors: Eaton Kalenda

ABSTRACT
In this article I examine the creation of neo-slave narratives, or fictional texts written in the 20th and 21st centuries, yet set during an imagined period of American slavery or indentured servitude. In these novels the authors, usually African-descended, depict slavery and/or plantation life, generally, to privilege the experiences of the slave. The process of actively writing against traditional plantation narratives of the 18th and 19th centuries can liberate slave histories and allows silenced actors to speak. However, in this paper, I argue that there is a danger of further marginalization when History is the platform for creative expression. I examine two novels whose authors employ the use of satire to discuss slave experience and by doing so, I explore how the images of Black slave and servant women can be either devalued or empowered depending on authorial representation and intent.

ABSTRACT
One of the main aims of the Common European Framework of Reference is to help providers and users of assessments “describe the levels of proficiency required by existing standards, tests and examinations in order to facilitate comparisons between different systems of qualifications” (Council of Europe 2001: 21). Providers of language assessments both inside and outside Europe follow various methodologies to align their assessments with the CEFR levels, as several case studies show (Figueras and Noijons 2009; Martyniuk 2010). This paper discusses the use of the CEFR in the field of language assessment, focusing in particular on issues related to alignment. The paper presents the types of validity evidence that should be accumulated to support an alignment claim and concludes with directions for future research in order to further enhance our understanding of using the CEFR for the design of assessments and the interpretation of assessment results.
Measuring the impact of CLIL on language skills: a CEFR-based approach for higher education

ABSTRACT
Advocates of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) have extolled the virtues of this approach to fostering both content and language alike. However, the generalised and varied implementation of EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) in universities worldwide has led many lecturers to question these claims. This paper presents a CEFR (Common European Framework)-based model for measuring the impact of EMI at the tertiary level, the aim being to provide further evidence of the progress made in language-learning in modules taught in a foreign language. Using questionnaires based on the revised and refined CEFR descriptors from EAQUALS (Evaluation and Accreditation of Quality in Language Services), students answer an initial self-assessment survey about their background and language skills, which is controlled by a final questionnaire targeting their perceived progress throughout their instruction. Designed from the ground up with the CEFR as a backdrop, this method can be easily tallied with objective assessment to uncover data about students’ linguistic performance in CLIL contexts.

RESEARCH ON NEW METHODS FOR TESTING LANGUAGE SKILLS: A FOCUS ON SPEAKING PERFORMANCE
The current issue has speaking performance as a conducting thread, specifically, the research undertaken on new methods to test it. Testing language skills and defining the constructs under which tests need to be constructed is a complex task. Particularly, assessing speaking performance is a rather intricate process with many agents and variables involved and many factors affecting the final outcome. Subjectivity, fairness, anxiety, cognitive and metacognitive aspects, particular features of speech, individual abilities, and social constraints among others make the mastery of speaking in a foreign language and its subsequent assessment a definitely arduous task. Critical reflection and research on the part of educational institutions, researchers, test developers or any person undertaking assessment is of paramount importance to guarantee the adequacy, reliability and success of the whole testing process and results.

ABSTRACT
The present article sets out to provide an overall picture of the acquisition of speaking abilities in a given second language acquisition (SLA) learning context, namely study abroad (SA), so as to ascertain whether SA can indeed ‘do the trick’, as it is popularly assumed, and, if so, under which conditions. Section 1 will characterise the SA context and look at how it can affect oral performance, bearing in mind the opportunities for target language contact and practice it offers learners. Section 2 will focus on the specific linguistic benefits in the oral domain that can accrue in this learning context. In this regard, we will present an overview of empirical research findings with special attention to the SALA (Study Abroad and Language Acquisition) and COLE (Context, Contact and Competence Level) research projects. Section 3 will concentrate on individual variables that may affect oral development abroad in combination with external variables such as SA programme conditions. Finally, Section 4 will provide a summary of the main ideas presented and draw some conclusions.
Enjeux de la transformation de Jules César de Shakespeare en palimpseste : Moi, veuve de l’empire
Authors: Schurmans Fabrice 
Published: November 2016

Cet article analyse les enjeux et les conséquences de la transformation de la pièce de Shakespeare : Jules César, en un palimpseste. Dans un premier temps, nous reviendrons sur l’appartenance de Moi, veuve de l’empire au registre tragique en nous fondant sur une lecture du paratexte sonyen. Nous montrerons qu’il s’agit d’une tragédie grotesque et profondément politique, résultant en partie d’une lecture doublée d’une interprétation de Jules César par Sony Labou Tansi. Dans un second temps, nous examinerons le personnage de Cléopâtre afin de mettre en évidence un changement important relativement au texte shakespearien : la femme devient ici moteur et modèle de la résistance à l’oppression. Enfin, nous reviendrons à Genette afin de questionner la pertinence de son approche du palimpseste dans un contexte littéraire différent.
Le chien au propre : ébauche d’une piste cynique dans les littératures africaines contemporaines
Authors: Chavoz Ninon 
Published: November 2016

Cet article propose une réflexion à propos de la figure roma-nesque du chien en contexte postcolonial, et plus spécialement dans l’espace francophone africain. Partant de la polysémie du terme et de son association avec une pensée cynique elle-même plurielle et évolutive, l’étude met en avant la récurrence d’une figure canine « au sens propre », point d’ancrage d’un « canisme » littéraire aux prises avec la récurrence contemporaine de la posture cynique. L’étude des romans de Patrice Nganang et de Fiston Mwanza Mujila permet à ce titre d’envisager le chien comme vecteur d’une interrogation à propos de l’identité conçue dans la confrontation au « maître » et dans la mise en doute de la frontière interspécifique.

Published: November 2016

Abstract
Large Ba2TiSi2O8 crystals were successfully grown by the Czochralski technique. The stimulated Raman scattering properties of the Ba2TiSi2O8 crystals were investigated for the first time, and the first (558 nm) and second (587 nm) Stokes lines were generated in an ultracavity single-pass configuration excited by 532 nm picosecond pulses. The output energy and conversion efficiency of the scattering process as functions of pump energy were studied, and the highest conversion efficiency was found to be 31.8%. The experiments indicate that Ba2TiSi2O8 is a novel active crystal suitable for solid-state Raman laser applications.
Assessing pollinators’ use of floral resource subsidies in agri-environment schemes: An illustration usingPhacelia tanacetifoliaand honeybees
Authors: Sprague Rowan , Boyer Stéphane , Stevenson Georgia M. , Wratten Steve D. 
Published: November 2016

BackgroundHoneybees (Apis melliferaL.) are frequently used in agriculture for pollination services because of their abundance, generalist floral preferences, ease of management and hive transport. However, their populations are declining in many countries. Agri-Environment Schemes (AES) are being implemented in agricultural systems to combat the decline in populations of pollinators and other insects. Despite AES being increasingly embedded in policy and budgets, scientific assessments of many of these schemes still are lacking, and only a few studies have examined the extent to which insect pollinators use the floral enhancements that are part of AES and on which floral components they feed (i.e., pollen and/or nectar).MethodsIn the present work, we used a combination of observations on honeybee foraging for nectar/pollen from the Californian annual plantPhacelia tanacetifoliain the field, collection of pollen pellets from hives, and pollen identification, to assess the value of adding phacelia to an agro-ecosystem to benefit honeybees.ResultsIt was found that phacelia pollen was almost never taken by honeybees. The work here demonstrates that honeybees may not use the floral enhancements added to a landscape as expected and points to the need for more careful assessments of what resources are used by honeybees in AES and understanding the role, if any, which AES play in enhancing pollinator fitness.DiscussionWe recommend using the methodology in this paper to explore the efficacy of AES before particular flowering species are adopted more widely to give a more complete illustration of the actual efficacy of AES.
Quinoidal/Aromatic Transformations in π‐Conjugated Oligomers: Vibrational Raman studies on the Limits of Rupture for π‐Bonds
Authors: Burrezo Paula Mayorga , Zafra José L. , López Navarrete Juan T. , Casado Juan 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThe vibrational Raman spectra of several series of aromatic and quinoidal compounds have been analyzed considering the downshifts and upshifts of the frequencies of the relevant Raman bands as a function of the number of repeating units. Oligothiophenes, oligophenylene‐vinylenes, and oligoperylenes (oligophenyls) derivatives are studied in a common context. These shifts are taken as spectroscopic fingerprints of the changes in π‐conjugation. For a given family, aromatic and quinoidal oligomers have been studied together, and according to their Raman frequency shifts located in the two‐well BLA–energy curve of their ground electronic state as a function of the bond‐length‐alternation pattern (BLA). The connection among BLA values, π‐conjugation, and Raman frequencies is taken here as the basis of the study. These Raman shifts/BLA changes have been related to important electronic properties of these one‐dimensional linear π‐electron delocalized systems such as quinoidal (polyene) and aromatic characters.

Published: November 2016

AbstractSmall‐molecule organoselenium‐based fluorescent probes possess great capacity in understanding biological processes through the detection of various analytes such as reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), biothiols (cysteine, homocysteine and glutathione), lipid droplets, etc. Herein, we present how substituents on the BODIPY system play a significant part in the detection of biologically important analytes for in vitro conditions and live cell imaging studies. The fluorescence of the probe was quenched by 2‐chloro and 6‐phenyl selenium groups; the probe shows high selectivity with NaOCl among other ROS/RNS, and gives a turn‐on response. The maximum fluorescence intensity is attained within ≈1–2 min with a low detection limit (19.6 nm), and shows a ≈110‐fold fluorescence enhancement compared to signals generated for other ROS/RNS. Surprisingly, in live cell experiments, the probe specifically located and accumulated in lipid droplets, and showed a fluorescence turn‐on response. We believe this turn‐on response occurred because of aggregation‐induced emission (AIE), which surprisingly occurred only by introducing one lipophilic mesityl group at the meso position of the BODIPY.
Changing the Emission Properties of Phosphorescent C^C*‐Cyclometalated Thiazol‐2‐ylidene Platinum(II) Complexes by Variation of the β‐Diketonate Ligands

Published: November 2016

AbstractCyclometalated thiazol‐2‐ylidene platinum(II) complexes based on the N‐phenyl‐4,5‐dimethyl‐1,3‐thiazol‐2‐ylidene N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand and seven different β‐diketonate ligands have been synthesised and investigated for their structural and photophysical properties. The complexes were synthesised in a one‐pot procedure starting with the in situ formation of the corresponding silver(I) carbene and transmetalation to platinum, followed by the reaction with the respective β‐diketonate under basic conditions. All the compounds were fully characterised by standard techniques, including 195Pt NMR spectroscopy. Three solid‐state structures revealed quite different aggregation behaviour depending on the β‐diketonate architecture. The reported complexes showed strong phosphorescence at room temperature in amorphous poly(methyl methacrylate) films. The emission wavelengths (ca. 510 nm) were found to be independent of the β‐diketonate ligand, but the electronically diverse β‐diketonates strongly influence the observed quantum yields (QY) and decay lifetimes. The results of theoretical studies employing density functional theory (DFT) methods support the conclusion of a metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer (3MLCT) as the main emission process, in accordance with the reported photophysical properties. Standard organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) prepared with unoptimised matrix materials using one of the complexes showed values of 12.3 % external quantum yield, 24.0 lm W−1 luminous efficacy and 37.8 cd A−1 current efficiency at 300 cd m−2.
Carnation Creek watershed experiment—long‐term responses of coho salmon populations to historic forest practices
Authors: Tschaplinski Peter J. , Pike Robin G. 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThe Carnation Creek project is a long‐term study of the effects of forestry practices on a small coastal watershed (11 km2) located in southwestern Vancouver Island. Initiated in 1970, this pretreatment versus post‐treatment case study consists of 5 years of preharvest, 6 years of during‐harvest, and now, 34 years of postharvest research. Forty‐one percent of the watershed was clearcut from 1976 to 1981. One tributary sub‐basin (1.1 km2) was left as an unharvested reference drainage. Riparian treatments varied from clearcuts to a variable‐width buffer. Fish population responses to logging have been complex, and specific to species and life stages. Stream warming due partly to riparian harvest increased the growth and survival of juvenile coho salmon and elevated smolt production by 65% for nearly three decades. These relatively short‐term thermal benefits offset the effects of riparian clearcutting which included accelerated bank erosion, streambed scour, loss of stable in‐stream wood, and sediment movement downstream. Landslides in 1984 greatly amplified these effects but took more than 20 years to propagate downstream to reduce fish habitat complexity and increase streambed instability and sediment transport over the entire portion inhabited by anadromous salmon. These delayed impacts have surpassed the thermal‐related benefits for coho salmon. Fry‐to‐smolt overwinter survival has declined from a mean of 50% between 1982 and 2004 to 15% since 2005. Coho salmon smolt production has consequently been reduced to below prelogging levels. Results show that forestry‐related alterations may take decades to fully develop and persist for decades longer without watershed and stream channel restoration.
Association Between Oxytocin Receptor Genotype, Maternal Care, and Eating Disorder Behaviours in a Community Sample of Women
Authors: Micali Nadia , Crous‐Bou Marta , Treasure Janet , Lawson Elizabeth A. 
Published: November 2016

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate associations between oxytocin receptor gene (OXT‐R) polymorphisms (rs53576 and rs2254298), their interaction with maternal care (GxE), and ED behaviours in a community sample. We studied 3698 women from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) who participated in a two‐phase prevalence study of lifetime ED and had genotype data. The GG rs53576 genotype was associated with binge eating and purging, and the rs2254298 AG/AA genotype with restrictive eating lifetime. In addition, the rs2254298 AG/AA genotype interacted with poor maternal care to increase the odds of binge eating and purging (odds ratio = 4.40 (95% confidence intervals: 1.11–17.4)). This study replicates previous findings of an association between OXT‐R polymorphisms and ED, and it is the first to show an interaction between OXT‐R genotype and poor maternal care. As such, these findings highlight the important role of oxytocin in understanding the pathophysiology of ED. © 2016 The Authors European Eating Disorders Review published by Eating Disorders Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd
A meta‐analysis of third wave mindfulness‐based cognitive behavioral therapies for older people
Authors: Kishita Naoko , Takei Yuko , Stewart Ian 
Published: November 2016

ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to review the effectiveness of third wave mindfulness‐based cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs) for depressive or anxiety symptomatology in older adults across a wide range of physical and psychological conditions.MethodsElectronic literature databases were searched for articles, and random‐effects meta‐analysis was conducted.ResultsTen studies met the inclusion criteria, of which nine reported the efficacy of interventions on depressive symptoms and seven on anxiety symptoms. Effect‐size estimates suggested that mindfulness‐based CBT is moderately effective on depressive symptoms in older adults (g = 0.55). The results demonstrated a similar level of overall effect size for anxiety symptoms (g = 0.58). However, there was a large heterogeneity, and publication bias was evident in studies reporting outcomes on anxiety symptoms, and thus, this observed efficacy for late‐life anxiety may not be robust. The quality of the included studies varied. Only one study used an active psychological control condition. There were a limited number of studies that used an intent‐to‐treat (last observation carried forward method) analysis and reported appropriate methods for clinical trials (e.g., treatment‐integrity reporting).ConclusionsThird wave mindfulness‐based CBT may be robust in particular for depressive symptoms in older adults. We recommend that future studies (i) conduct randomized controlled trials with intent‐to‐treat to compare mindfulness‐based CBT with other types of psychotherapy in older people and (ii) improve study quality by using appropriate methods for checking treatment adherence, randomization, and blinding of assessors.
