Professionnalisation et processus réflexif dans le nouveau diplôme proposé par les IUT : le Bachelor Universitaire de Technologie.
Authors: Bolou-Chiaravalli Christine , Bournel-Bosson Maryse , Lasne Annie 
Published: May 2024

Depuis 2019, les enseignants des Instituts Universitaires de Technologie (IUT) doivent concevoir et mettre en œuvre un nouveau diplôme, le Bachelor Universitaire de Technologie (BUT) structuré autour de l’Approche par Compétences (APC). Il s’agit d’organiser la formation pour que les étudiants, en articulation avec les enseignements, développent leurs compétences dans l’action, grâce à leur immersion dans des Situations d’Apprentissage et d’Évaluation (SAÉ). La production de « traces » ponctue les différentes étapes de ces situations, traces qui trouvent une place et une cohérence au niveau de la démarche du portfolio. Ces nouvelles pratiques pédagogiques prennent majoritairement appui sur un processus réflexif qui doit permettre aux étudiants de devenir peu à peu acteurs de leur formation. L’article vise, à travers l’étude de traces produites dans deux SAÉ relevant de spécialités différentes, à identifier quels sont les déterminants de ce processus et ses enjeux pour des apprenants en formation initiale.

Limiting behavior of quasilinear wave equations with fractional-type dissipation
Authors: Kaltenbacher Barbara , Meliani Mostafa , Nikolić Vanja 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In this work, we investigate a class of quasilinear wave equations of Westervelt type with, in general, nonlocal-in-time dissipation. They arise as models of nonlinear sound propagation through complex media with anomalous diffusion of Gurtin–Pipkin type. Aiming at minimal assumptions on the involved memory kernels – which we allow to be weakly singular – we prove the well-posedness of such wave equations in a general theoretical framework. In particular, the Abel fractional kernels, as well as Mittag-Leffler-type kernels, are covered by our results. The analysis is carried out uniformly with respect to the small involved parameter on which the kernels depend and which can be physically interpreted as the sound diffusivity or the thermal relaxation time. We then analyze the behavior of solutions as this parameter vanishes, and in this way relate the equations to their limiting counterparts. To establish the limiting problems, we distinguish among different classes of kernels and analyze and discuss all ensuing cases.
Verbal engagement strategies in Iranian Teachers’ talk: Instagram teaching context
Authors: Weisi Hiwa , Zandi Maryam 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This study explores the verbal engagement strategies that EFL instructors adopt when teaching English over Instagram. These instructors create videos where they teach English and share them on Instagram. Twenty-five highly engaging English teaching videos on Instagram were used as the data of this study. To discover the engagement strategies that the instructors used, a combination of Hyland’s Engagement Model and Martin and White’s Appraisal Model, was applied to the teachers’ talk. The results indicated a slight difference in the frequency of engagement resources between the two models. Moreover, the results related to Hyland’s framework revealed that listener pronouns (second person pronouns) had considerably higher frequency than other engagement devices in the instructors’ speech. Nevertheless, personal aside and appeals to shared knowledge were used to a limited extent. Regarding the model of Martin and White, the result indicated that the overall engagement resources of heterogloss were about twice those of the monogloss. Moreover, between two broad categories of heterogloss, the resources of the contract category were significantly more common than those of the expand category in the teachers’ talk. The findings of this study have fruitful pedagogical implications. As the results suggest, teachers can bring the learners to discourse using listener pronouns, and in this way increase learner engagement in lessons. Moreover, the heterogloss resources, specifically the contract ones, can assist teachers in engaging learners.
What does linguistic structure tell us about language ideologies?
Authors: Bunk Oliver 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This paper examines how bilingual and monolingual German speakers’ language use reflects underlying linguistic ideologies. I present a corpus study on bilingual and monolingual German speakers, focusing on phonological, lexical, and discourse pragmatic features. The data suggest that bilingual speakers use more markers of formal language and fewer markers of informal language in formal communicative situations than monolingual speakers. I argue that this is due to monolingual ideologies and standard language ideologies, particularly influencing these formal settings in bilingual speakers. These ideological patterns may lead to linguistic pressure in bilingual speakers to align with the monolingual majority, a phenomenon related to majority language anxiety. Complementing the corpus analysis, semi-structured interviews with bilingual speakers provide personal insights, further illuminating how linguistic ideologies shape their linguistic choices and social experiences.
Academic register anxiety? – How language ideologies influence university students’ oral participation
Authors: Jahns Esther 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This paper deals with the registers of spoken language in university classes, their prestige, and the language ideologies linked to them. I will show that, due to these ideologies, the academic registers can trigger strong emotions that hinder oral participation. Previous research on language anxiety has revealed that formal situations are an important trigger. Therefore, the academic context is an interesting research site for language or register anxiety, as it offers a range of highly formal communicative situations. Academic language can be conceptualized as a set of distinctive registers that must be acquired by students. However, it is seldom made explicit which linguistic competences are expected and that their acquisition is a process. This might trigger feelings of anxiety in the classroom, especially for students who perceive themselves as not mastering these registers or who have already experienced unbelonging or exclusion due to their linguistic repertoire. Based on qualitative interviews with students from a German university, I will show that proficiency in the academic registers is often perceived as competence and knowledge in the respective discipline. This ideology together with other factors can lead to less or no oral participation in class.
Whose language counts?
Authors: Truan Naomi 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This position paper makes a critical intervention in one of the mostly salient sociolinguistic debates of the recent years, that of the integration of multilingual speakers in language ideological research. Although many scholars now recognize the need for decentering the ideal(ized) ‘monolingual native speakers’, they remain the default norm in language ideological research. Indeed, despite our efforts to dismantle our own language ideologies as linguists, the implicit focus on native speakers and monolinguals proceeds to the erasure or invisibilization (Irvine & Gal 2000) of multilinguals. Drawing on research on gender-inclusive language as well as my own empirical study on L2 speakers of German, I show why integrating a higher variety of language users is necessary—not only on ethical grounds, but also on theoretical ones. Altogether, this paper presents the challenges language ideological research still faces despite ongoing efforts to tackle multilingualism and offers possible solutions for language ideological research to become truly inclusive.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Composite coating technology was used to prepare a modified polyamide 6 (PA6) polymer material masterbatch with low mutual interference and good spinnability using molybdenum oxide, tungsten trioxide, graphene oxide, etc., as modifiers. Experiment shows that using nanoscale composite-coated modified masterbatches capable of spectral heating and heat storage in the preparation of nylon 6 fiber, adding modified masterbatches with a mass ratio of 6% online, and controlling various process parameters can result in good functionality and usability as well as enable consistent production. Optimal production conditions are achieved by utilizing pre-dried PA6 chips with a moisture content of 420 ppm. The master batch is subjected to drying at a temperature of 95°C for 12 h. During this process, the master batch is introduced at an addition ratio of 6%. Subsequent spinning is conducted at a speed of 4,300 m·min−1 and a temperature of 255°C. Cooling is facilitated by air set at a temperature of 17°C, flowing at a speed of 0.45 m·min−1. In the production line, one roller operates without heating, while the second roller is maintained at a temperature range of 160°C. The stretching process is performed at a ratio of 1.3. To ensure proper lubrication, an oil rate of 1.3% is applied. These meticulously controlled process parameters collectively contribute to the most favorable production status.
D-dimer – a multifaceted molecule
Authors: Tayal Devika , Jain Prerna , Goswami Binita 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
D-dimer, a universally unique marker for fibrin degradation, is generated through the enzymatic interplay of thrombin, factor XIIIa, and plasmin. The emergence of D-dimer-containing fibrin molecules occurs in both intravascular and extravascular spaces during pivotal physiological processes like haemostasis, thrombosis, and tissue repair. Given the inherently physiological nature of fibrin formation and fibrinolysis, basal levels of D-dimer fragments are present in plasma. Beyond its role as a marker of routine physiological processes, aberrations in D-dimer levels are indicative of a spectrum of conditions, both non-pathological and pathological. The clinical utility of D-dimer has been firmly established, particularly in scenarios like venous thromboembolism (VTE), pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Additionally, recent applications have extended to assess the prognosis of COVID-19. While D-dimer is commonly associated with thrombotic conditions, its elevation is not confined to these conditions alone. Elevated D-dimer levels are observed across various diseases, where its significance extends beyond diagnostic indicators to prognostic implications.
Study on the mechanical properties and microstructure of recycled concrete reinforced with basalt fibers and nano-silica in early low-temperature environments
Authors: Yonggui Wang , Jiangjiang Wu , Juan Zhang 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The effects of basalt fibers (BF) and nano-silica (NS) on the mechanical properties and microstructure of recycled concrete (RC) in early low-temperature environments were investigated by placing the BF and NS modified RC specimens in the environments of −20, −10, 0, and 25°C for curing for 6 h, followed by standardized maintenance. The damage morphology and mechanical properties of modified RC were analyzed in such environments. The formulae for the compressive strength of RC, which was affected by BF and NS, were fitted using statistical product and service solutions, and a micromorphological analysis of the modified RC was conducted using scanning electron microscope. The mechanical properties of RC decreased owing to the influence of early low temperatures, among which 0°C caused the largest damage crack and the most serious effects. In the early low-temperature environments, the physical properties of RC generally increased and then decreased with the increase in BF dosage; however, increasing NS dosages improved its mechanical properties. The composite doping of BF and NS was more obvious than the single doping of BF or NS to enhance the performance of RC, and the internal pore structure was considerably improved. The preferred doping amounts were 3 kg m−3 of BF and 2% NS.
Effect of hydroxy-terminated hyperbranched polymer coated separator on the lithium-ion battery performances
Authors: He Qingpeng , Ding Lei , Li Dandan , Zhang Yuanjie , Zhang Sihang 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The hydrophobicity of polyolefin separators causes poor compatibility with the internal environment of lithium-ion batteries and thus elevates lithium-ion migration barriers. In this research, hydroxy-terminated hyperbranched polymer (HTHP) coated separators are fabricated successfully based on the simple and easy-on impregnation method. Abundant hydroxyl groups in HTHP reinforce separator electrolyte affinity, generating the much lower contact angle and higher electrolyte uptake. Accordingly, HTHP-coated separators show broader electrochemical window and superior ionic conductivity and Li+ transport number, which facilitate the Li+ migration within porous pathways and hence maximally weaken counteranions-induced polarizations. The lower interfacial resistances also guarantee the Li+ accelerated diffusion via the separator–electrodes interfaces. Therefore, batteries containing modified separators exhibit optimized C-rate capacity and cycling stability. However, immoderate HTHP coating blocks partial pores and thus restricts Li+ transference, which deteriorates C-rate capacity and cycling durability in turn. This separator modification scheme possesses advantages of simple preparation, environment-friendly, and low manufacturing cost, providing practical guidance for low-cost and high-performance separator manufacture.
Study of gamma, neutron, and proton interaction parameters of some immunotherapy drugs using EpiXs, NGCal, and PSTAR software

Published: May 2024

Abstract
In proton therapy, the protons are used to destroy the cancer cells efficiently at the Bragg peak without much damage to normal cells. The protons can also produce neutrons, protons, and high-energy gamma rays through nuclear reactions with cancerous and healthy tissues as well as with beamline components. The effective observed dose in the therapy is enhanced due to the interaction of nuclear particles with cancerous tissues. Such nuclear particles can have several effects on drugs used in immunotherapy, such as immunotherapy in combination with proton therapy, which has been used to treat cancer. In the present investigations, the gamma, neutron, and protons interaction parameters of some immunotherapy drugs, such as dostarlimab, atezolizumab, ipilimumab, nivolumab, and pembrolizumab, are determined by using EpiXs, NGCal, and PSTAR software. It is found that the EBF and EABF for all selected immunotherapy drugs increase with increasing penetration depth, peaking at 100 keV. The peaking is more symmetric at a higher penetration depth of 40 mfp than at a lower one of 1 mfp. At lower energies of gamma photons, the EBF values increase exponentially, and at higher energies, they increase linearly with increasing penetration depth for all selected drugs. Mass attenuation factors are slightly higher for thermal neutrons than for fast neutrons for selected immunotherapeutic drugs, indicating that thermal neutrons more actively participate in these drugs than fast neutrons. The mass attenuation factor for both fast and thermal neutrons increases with increasing weight percentages of hydrogen and is found to be higher for thermal neutrons. This is the first study in the literature to investigate the radiation interaction parameters for immunotherapy drugs, and it is helpful in radiation therapy and dosimetry.
Optimizing the Use of Dose Error Reduction Software on Intravenous Infusion Pumps
Authors: Hughes Kristen , Cole Madison , Tims Deann , Wallach Troy , Spencer Christopher , Page Vanice , Robertson Jennifer , Hoffman James M. 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Intravenous infusions have the potential to cause significant harm in patients and are associated with a high rate of adverse drug events and medication errors. Infusion pumps with dose error reduction software (DERS) can be used to reduce errors by establishing safe infusion parameters. In 2019, a quality improvement project was initiated with the aim to increase DERS compliance from 46% to 75% at our specialty institution by October 1, 2022.

METHODS
An interdisciplinary group was tasked with improving compliance with DERS by identifying key drivers, including informed staff, engaged staff, and an accurate smart pump library. We used the Model for Improvement framework to guide this improvement project, and Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles were used to plan for interventions. PDSA cycles included drug library updates, education, and unit-level compliance reporting. Weekly average DERS compliance was monitored as the outcome measure, and weekly pump alerts per 100 infusions were monitored as a balancing measure; statistical process control charts were used to monitor measures from 2018 to 2022.

RESULTS
Over the course of 25 months, 8 PDSA cycles resulted in 5 centerline improvements from a baseline mean of 46% to a final mean of 78%. Pump alerts per 100 infusions decreased from 15.9 to 6.4 with the first PDSA cycle and then continued to decrease to 3.9 with subsequent interventions.

CONCLUSIONS
Although features like DERS can help ensure safe medication administration, continuous improvement efforts to increase DERS compliance without increasing alert burden are needed to ensure that benefits of this technology are optimized.
Enhancing NICU Care and Communication: Perspectives of Moderately Preterm Infant Parents
Authors: Osborne Ashley D. , Worsley Diana , Cullen Catherine , Martin Ashley , Christ Lori 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Moderately preterm infants (MPTI) comprise a large proportion of NICU admissions and are an understudied population. The unique experience of families with MPTIs has yet to be examined in the literature. Describing MPTI parent needs and preferences may inform interventions to improve care and outcomes for this population.

METHODS
Semistructured qualitative interviews were performed with English-speaking birth parents of infants born between 32 and 34 weeks gestation to describe their NICU experience and identify areas for improvement specifically surrounding care team inclusion, education, discharge, and communication. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using directed content analysis. Enrollment ceased when the data reached thematic saturation.

RESULTS
Sixteen birth parents participated. Four themes emerged around parent-medical team connectedness, parental confusion, discharge readiness, and the desire for a use of a mix of in-person and electronic communication methods (e-mail, texting, apps, etc) for communication. MPTI parents valued a strong connection with the medical team; however, they described a lack of knowledge regarding the reasons for admission and ongoing management. Near discharge, parents desired more information regarding feeding, reflux, and breathing patterns. Parents preferred in-person discussions but described a role for electronic methods to improve their understanding of their infant and discharge readiness.

CONCLUSIONS
From the MPTI parent perspective, clinicians can focus improvement efforts on communication, specifically around reasons for admission, discharge planning, and anticipatory guidance. These results may serve as a foundation for initiatives to improve the MPTI parent experience and potentially parent and MPTI outcomes.

Published: May 2024

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with clinical manifestations that vary between individuals with progressive and irreversible SLE organ damage. Recently, it has become known that Interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels in the blood rise in SLE patients compared to healthy people. The increase of IL-8 causes kidney inflammation by promoting the release of the Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NET) complex, which supports further renal damage. This study aims to evaluate the association of urine interleukin-8 with renal impairment in SLE patients.
Methods: A total of 45 lupus participants—22 with and 23 without renal abnormalities—had their urine collected. The interleukin-8 concentration was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)—renal impairment criteria based on renal biopsy or ACR 1997 criteria. Mann-Whitney and Spearman correlation tests were employed in the statistical analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 for Windows.
Results: There was no significant difference in IL-8 urine levels between the SLE group with renal impairment (111.27±59.03 pg/ml) and the SLE group without renal impairment (125.76±66.62 pg/ml) was not significant (p=0.67). Urine IL-8 also did not significantly correlate with blood neutrophil count, leukocyte count and leukocyturia (p>0.05).
Conclusion: In lupus patients, urine Interleukin-8 levels are not associated with renal impairment.
