Au croisement de l’innovation technique et de l’innovation pédagogique. Pour une approche appliquée de l’apprentissage du français
Authors: Al Sobeay Saeed 
Published: May 2022

Le présent article traite des innovations pédagogiques récentes susceptibles de valoriser les compétences linguistiques orales des étudiants dans une université saoudienne (l’Université de l’Imam Mohamed ben Saoud) où la maîtrise de l’apprentissage de la langue française demeure une nécessité irréfragable dans un contexte socioculturel dominé par l’usage anglophone. Devant cette situation, comment s’établit le contrat de communication dans la classe ? Comment l’acquisition de la langue française se négocie-t-il ? Ces questions, qui relèvent de la linguistique, de la pédagogie et des sciences de l’éducation, de la didactique des langues sont posés... Mais nous ne sommes pas non plus dans une sorte de galerie des marchandises multidisciplinaires en train de faire notre choix. Nous nous sommes servis simplement de certaines définitions, avec leur typologie et leurs caractéristiques. Mais il n’y a pas une vie pure de la théorie isolée de la pratique. C’est pour cela nous avons présenté des exemples d’innovations pédagogiques issues des technologies nouvelles (particulièrement relevant du TIC) telles que le Web 4.0 ou l’initiation à la TBI. En fait, dans le cadre des innovations pédagogiques, le rituel de la prise de la parole – en contact – avec les apprenants a été totalement revu en vue d’être réformé et enrichi. Sur ce point, si on souhaite demander à un étudiant de préparer un exposé oral tout en utilisant de nouvelles technologies, les outils en questions dépendent autant de la manière dont l’utilise que de ses qualités propres. Elles dépendent aussi de la conception que maître et étudiant se font, consciemment ou non des représentations qu’ils se font de cette langue (la langue française en l’occurrence), de leurs connaissances et préjugés, de l’image qu’ils ont d’elle. De même pourrait-on se servir d’autres moyens ludiques telles que les vidéos, chansons, la bande dessinée (méthode audio-visuelle), par exemple, afin d’aider les étudiants dans leur apprentissage du français.

Le choix du Brésil pour accueillir les Jeux olympiques 2016 s’est réalisé grâce aux efforts d’une coalition de forces menée par le gouvernement. En vue de la réalisation de ce méga-événement, des mesures ont été prises, qui imposent un État d’exception, lequel ne respecte pas les lois constitutionnelles. L’organisation de ces Jeux constitue un processus d’accumulation par spoliation, qui divise la société brésilienne entre gagnants et perdants.

Dans le domaine du développement, la vision dominante du genre vise à intensifier le travail des femmes et à contrôler leur fertilité. La figure de « la jeune fille pauvre » est érigée en véhicule pour l’investissement dans une croissance future et sujet néolibéral par excellence. La réappropriation du genre pour un projet de transformation sociale exige une utilisation intransigeante des concepts développés par les féminismes marxiste, noir et queer.

La résolution 1325 du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies est souvent présentée comme une résolution historique. Elle s’est toutefois construite à travers un discours « genré » qui facilite son utilisation à des fins militaristes. Une analyse discursive révèle comment ce texte, doté d’un réel potentiel de subversion pour défier le patriarcat militarisé, renforce en définitive les structures de pouvoir qu’il était appelé à démanteler.

Défendre la terre et ses ressources expose à la violence en Inde. Si la répression physique à l’égard des militants est particulièrement visible et brutale, elle n’est pas la seule forme de violence. Les conflits socio-environnementaux, en hausse, révèlent une double réalité : celle d’une « distribution écologique » inégale et celle de résistances – acharnées et pacifiques – de la part de mouvements sociaux pour « la justice environnementale ».

L’architecture du financement climatique international, contrôlée par les donateurs et axée sur les intérêts des entreprises, reproduit les injustices des rapports Nord-Sud et prolonge la maltraitance des commons . Pour bénéficier aux victimes du changement climatique – dont les femmes rurales du Sud –, les engagements des grands pollueurs nécessitent un recadrage autour des principes d’équité sociale, de justice climatique et d’équilibre écologique.

Published: May 2022

Purpose: Adoption of new technology in the agricultural sector is low. This is similar to the condition in many other sectors as well. Many studies have been conducted to find out reasons for this issue. While some studies have identified similar factors affecting the decision to adopt a technology, some studies revealed factors which were uniqe to their study. Therefore, identification and compilation of these factors will support future studies and researchers.Research Method: An analysis of literature on technology adoption was conducted. Literature originated from numerous sources spanning almost 50 years were taken for the study. The factors identified by different studies were then compiled for this review paper.Findings: The factors identified can be mainly categorized into three; (1) factors related to the user, such as farm size, income, prior experience, gender, education level, and age; (2) factors related to the technology, such as affordability, availability, compatibility, complexity, trialability and observability; (3) institutional factors, such as access to extension services, inputs, markets and credit facilities. The review findings reveal that adoption is a collective and interactive effect of some or all factors. Thus, identification of priority factors and a holistic approach need to be considered to ensure greater adoption.Originality/ Value: This compilation will support practitioners in technology dissemination for proper identification of factors affecting technology adoption, and future research on technology adoption and diffusion
Novel bacterial isolates used for the bioconversion of some agriculture wastes into important steroid hormones

Published: May 2022

Background and objectives
Microbial bioconversion of phytosterols produces many compounds especially steroid intermediate hormones. One of the most important transformation reactions is side chain degradation of sterols especially phytosterols β-sitosterol to androstenedione (AD), and androstadienedione (ADD). These compounds are considered to be critical intermediates in the preparation of testosterone, estrogen hormones. The main objective is to study the bioconversion of some agriculture wastes as a cheap source of phytosterols to more valuable products AD and ADD.

Materials and methods
In the present study, phytosterols of some agriculture products especially soybean, rice bran, and wheat bran were used as a substrate for the production of both AD and ADD using locally isolated bacterial strain. Different physiological and biochemical factors were tested as well as qualitative and quantitative estimation of the transformation products were carried out according to a previously recorded method.

Results and discussion
The results showed that screening experiments were carried out to investigate the ability of 12 bacterial isolates to transform plant agriculture wastes phytosterols into steroid hormone intermediates AD and ADD. The results also indicated that only four strains possess this ability. One of which was selected to complete this study according to its high AD and ADD productivity. Different physiological and biochemical tests involving catalase, oxidase, coagulase, indole production, urease, citrate and voges-proskauer, type of the agriculture waste, moisture content, parentage of the waste as well as some additives were tested. The results showed that the best bioconversion (3.98 and 3.37 mg/100 ml of both AD and ADD, respectively) were obtained by using soybean − what bran mixture at a ratio of 1 : 1. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the transformation products were investigated. The phylogenic analysis was carried out and the results indicated that the new strain referred to is Ochrobactrum anthropi, which is first recorded to be a phytosterol transformer.

Conclusion
The study has indicated that the newly isolated bacterial strain Ochrobactrum is first recorded to perform the side chain degradation of phytosterols presented in soybean and wheat bran to AD and ADD under the above-selected fermentation conditions.
Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of trastuzumab emtansine in women with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer
Authors: Yeh Yingchih , Chen Chiehfeng , Ko Yu 
Published: May 2022

Background:
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is a human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 targeted antibody-drug conjugate that contains a monoclonal antibody, trastuzumab, covalently linked to DM1, a small molecule cytotoxin.

Methods:
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published trials to examine the efficacy and safety of T-DM1 for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. In addition, we systematically reviewed existing economic evaluations of T-DM1. An electronic literature search of online databases (Medline, CENTRAL, and Embase) was performed. Randomized controlled trials that compared T-DM1 with other active treatment agents were eligible for inclusion. In addition, studies that involved T-DM1 as one of the treatment comparators in an economic evaluation were included. Four trials with a total of 2462 participants were included in this meta-analysis.

Results:
Pooled results showed T-DM1 substantially improved overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.67–0.85; I2 = 0%) and progression-free survival (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.52–0.85; I2 = 75%). In addition, T-DM1 showed greater association with severe thrombocytopenia and liver dysfunction than other regimens, but a lower rate of neutropenia, leukopenia, febrile neutropenia, asthenia, and diarrhea. All four trials included in the meta-analysis overall had a low risk of bias. Two cost-utility analyses involving T-DM1 were identified, and the overall quality was high.

Conclusions:
T-DM1 is effective for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, and it demonstrates a tolerable safety profile compared with other active controls. Little evidence was available regarding the cost-effectiveness of T-DM1 so no conclusions can be drawn.

Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Breast cancer remains a leading cause of unintended death among Indian women. Cancer treatment-induced pain, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, body image, and sexual problems could affect the patient psychosocial well-being and quality of life (QOL). The study aims to determine the QOL and psychosocial well-being among women with breast cancer.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional survey completed by 244 women with breast cancer at a tertiary level teaching hospital. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QOL Questionnaire C30, the Breast Module (QLQ-BR23), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is used to measure the QOL, and psychological well-being, respectively. Appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics are applied to compute the results.

Results:
The total number of women with breast cancer interviewed was 244, with a mean age of 45.06 (standard deviation ± 11.17) years. The mean global health score was 70.97 ± 15.63. As per the QLQ-C30 scale, “physical functioning” scored the highest (70.54 ± 22.00), and “role functioning” reported the lowest (49.45 ± 36.15) mean score. Further, on the QLQ-C30 symptoms scale, “appetite loss” (45.09 ± 35.09) was the worst reported symptom, followed by “nausea and vomiting” (34.97 ± 38.39). On the BR-23 scale, body image said (68.42 ± 22.28) higher score than other domains and experience of arm-related problems (43.80 ± 26.06) were more frequently reported symptom in women. As per the HADS scale, 24.6% and 36.1% of women were in moderate anxiety and depression, respectively. The mean HADS score was 14.39 ± 5.82. Findings on predictors for the individual patient remained the same as that earlier published literature.

Conclusions and Recommendations:
Women with breast cancer have an overall good QOL and poor psychosocial well-being. However, using a holistic approach, including identifying psychological problems and their time management, signifies the need for the studied population.

Published: May 2022

In the current study, the representations of kindergarten prospective teachers on the rainbow formation phenomenon as well as their interest in implementing rainbow-related activities in their teaching were explored. This study is part of a research perspective that aims to document the difficulties of Early Childhood Education teachers in Physical and Biological Sciences. Rainbow topic was chosen as on the one hand it is often included in curricula along with various other visual phenomena and on the other hand, there is no related research that focuses on teachers’ views about this phenomenon. The research was qualitative and exploratory in nature and was conducted through a semi-structured interview. From data analysis it was found that the kindergarten prospective teachers of the sample have structured mental representations about rainbow which are far from school scientific knowledge. At the same time, they consider the rainbow to be an interesting topic for developing teaching activities in the classroom.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0923/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: May 2022

This study analyzes the conceptual metaphors of primary school teacher candidates’ perceptions of “saving”. In the study, which was carried out according to the qualitative research methodology, the forms, frequencies and functions of 93 metaphorical usages related to saving were shown. In the study carried out using the qualitative research method, a basic qualitative research pattern was used and qualitative data were obtained through metaphors. The participants of the research, 205 primary education teachers participated in in-service training courses/seminars in the central Tarsus, Akdeniz, Yenişehir and Mezitli districts of Mersin province and Tarsus, Erdemli and Silifke districts, in the 2018-2019 academic year. The convenience sampling method was preferred in determining the study group of the research. The data of the research were collected through an opinion form, which was created by using structured pattern questions. Pattern questions used in this form are expressed as “Saving is …; because it is ...” and “When I think of saving, the first word that comes to mind is …” and “When I think of saving, the first person that comes to mind is …”. Content analysis technique was used in the analysis and interpretation of the data. The results showed that 93 different metaphors related to the concept of “saving” were produced by 205 primary education teachers participating in the research and the most mentioned metaphors were “future”, “water” and “life”. Primary education teachers stated 68 kinds of metaphors related to the first word that came to their minds about the concept of “savings” and the metaphors they mentioned the most were “Money”, “accumulation” and “thrift”. Regarding the first person that comes to mind about the concept of “saving”, it was seen that the primary education teachers stated 23 types of metaphors, and the metaphors they stated the most were “mother”, “father” and “wife”.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0908/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY LEARNING ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE AND INFORMATION-SEEKING BEHAVIOR OF STUDENTS
Authors: Navales Jolina Maureen P. , Dequito Estela R. 
Published: May 2022

<p>This study aimed to determine the mediating effect of information and communication technology learning on the relationship between social media usage and students' behavior from the Bachelor of Science and Technology program at the University of Mindanao. A stratified random sampling method was used, with 300 students serving as respondents. The results of a non-experimental quantitative mediation analysis using a validated questionnaire, mean, regression techniques, and Pearson r revealed a significant relationship between social media usage, behavior, and information and communication technology learning. Results of the study showed that students' level of social media usage was moderate. The study also revealed that students' level of information-seeking behavior was moderate. Further, there was a partial mediation on the effect of information and communication technology learning on the relationship between social media usage and information-seeking behavior. As a result, one of the reasons why social media usage can influence information-seeking behavior is information and communication technology learning. Nevertheless, it cannot wholly account for the relationship between the two variables.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0931/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
LEARNING TO TEACH IN THE ERA OF UNCERTAINTIES: CHALLENGES AND LESSONS LEARNT BY STUDENT TEACHERS DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN UGANDA
Authors: Omara Polycarp , Akwongo Betty 
Published: May 2022

<p>The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is not only being felt by different social classes of people, but also across levels of education systems. There was a paradigm shift from the traditional teaching approaches to a more flexible one, including remote teaching. This crisis uncovered the many challenges in the education system such as access and lack of supportive environments for both teachers and learners. The teacher trainees were greatly affected as they could hardly complete their teacher training programme in time. The purpose of this study was to investigate student teachers’ perception of teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, to explore challenges faced by student teachers; document lessons learnt and coping strategies improvised while teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. A concurrent mixed method design was adopted. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 46-year three student teachers of Muni University. Data were collected using student teachers’ reflective journals and reflective meetings. Challenges experienced by student teachers were related to placement, supervisor-supervisee relationship, inadequate support from school authorities, inadequate skills in classroom room management and time management. Student teachers adopted coping strategies like teamwork, collaborative and adaptive skills, classroom and discipline management. Four categories of lessons learnt were adaptiveness, collaboration, creativity and uniqueness of learners. They learnt how to incorporate modern approaches including those embedded in Bloom’s taxonomy. The study recommended that teacher training institutions should ensure adequate and wholistic preparation of student teachers prior to school practice; school practice supervisors should treat school practice supervision as a non-judgemental exercise meant to enhance student teachers’ professional growth, and school authorities should provide required materials and mentorship to student teachers.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0955/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
