L’espace en français et en allemand : une question de perception(s)
Authors: Farge Sylvain 
Published: October 2022

Pour essayer d’y voir plus clair dans la manière dont l’espace se construit en langue, cette contribution propose une analyse lexicologique contrastive de termes désignant l’espace ou permettant le repérage dans ce dernier. Force est de reconnaître que, du point de vue linguistique, l’allemand et le français divergent assez radicalement dans la construction de l’espace, malgré certains points de recoupement. Globalement, alors que le français privilégie une vision topologique de la construction de l’espace, l’allemand place l’accent sur la dimension praxique de cette dernière. D’un côté, l’espace est une étendue cartographiée ; de l’autre, l’espace est une étendue qui se prête à certaines actions. Cela ouvre sur la question, lancinante et encore à résoudre, du rapport entre structures linguistiques et psychologiques : une construction linguistique différente de l’espace entraîne-t-elle une perception différente de ce dernier ?
Puissances et impuissances des politiques et des idéologies linguistiques : approche matérialiste des pratiques langagières
Authors: Adami Hervé 
Published: October 2022

Les débats d’aujourd’hui sur la place des langues et cultures d’origine des migrants dans les sociétés d’accueil, mais également les débats sur les langues minoritaires dérivent sur les courants identitaires et culturalistes faute d’ancrage dans les réalités des pratiques langagières concrètes des locuteurs. En effet, pour comprendre la réalité des pratiques langagières, il convient de les remettre dans leur contexte historique, social, politique et économique. Les langues n’existent pas par elles-mêmes et pour elles-mêmes, comme symboles ou comme systèmes sémiotiques autonomes et détachés de la réalité matérielle : les langues n’existent que par leurs locuteurs qui sont des êtres humains engagés dans des rapports sociaux concrets. Pour analyser les rapports entre les langues, et notamment les rapports de force entre les langues, il convient d’analyser d’abord les rapports sociaux des locuteurs de ces langues et la réalité matérielle dans laquelle ils vivent.
L’interculturel à l’épreuve de la contextualisation
Authors: Nishiyama Jean Noriyuki 
Published: October 2022

Cet article a pour but de mettre en lumière la notion de « contextualisation » en sciences humaines, en particulier dans la didactique des langues, en prenant l'interculturel comme exemple par excellence. L'éducation interculturelle, telle qu'on l’entend de nos jours, est fortement immergée dans la société où elle s'opère, en agissant sur des objets différents. Les enfants japonais élevés en dehors de l'Archipel juste après la guerre en Chine ou dans les années 1970 ainsi que les immigrés latino-américains dans les années 1990 en sont des illustrations. La représentation de l'interculturel varie en fonction du contexte de l'émergence de la notion, commençant par l'aspect thérapeutique jusqu'à la communication interpersonnelle, sans oublier pour autant la présence des minorités sociales.
L’influence des caractéristiques pédagogiques de l’approche neurolinguistique (ANL) sur la préparation a un examen du DUEF
Authors: Boissel Camille 
Published: October 2022

Après avoir présenté de manière générale l’ANL, nous nous pencherons sur les missions que nous avons effectuées en stage de fin d’études de Master 2 Didactique des Langues Etrangères spécialité PROFLAM (Master Professionnel Formation Linguistique aux Adultes en Mobilité) au CeLFE (Centre de Langue Française pour Etrangers) de l’Université d’Angers. Nous avons travaillé sur l’adaptation d’unités de manuels à l’ANL et leur enseignement et nous avons mené une réflexion sur la pertinence d’une telle approche pédagogique auprès d’un public spécifique : le public universitaire. Cette réflexion s’est approfondie pour devenir la réflexion centrale de notre mémoire de master qui gravitait autour du questionnement suivant : Comment les caractéristiques pédagogiques de l’ANL influencent-elles la préparation de l’examen du DUEF (Diplôme Universitaire d’Etudes Françaises) auprès d’un public de type FOU (Français à Objectif Universitaire) de niveau B1.1 en lien avec les compétences de compréhension écrite et orale ?

Real ou ficção: uma questão fotográfica no conto Las babas del diablo, de Julio Cortázar e na obra fílmica Blow-Up, de Michelangelo Antonioni
Authors: Benatti Andre Rezende , Silva Rute Pereira da 
Published: October 2022

O propósito do trabalho é realizar uma análise do papel da fotografia no conto Las babas del diablo, de Julio Cortázar e da obra fílmica Blow-Up, de Michelangelo Antonioni, com base nos pressupostos de Roland Barthes sobre o processo fotográfico. A narrativa Las babas del diablo foi publicada pela primeira vez em 1959, em uma coletânea de contos intitulada Las armas secretas, ela nos conta a história do fotógrafo e tradutor, Michel, que ao ampliar algumas fotos ele percebe, nas imagens, que as fotos são provas de um crime. Inspirado nessa trama, em dezembro de 1966, Michelangelo Antonioni, transcria (CAMPOS, 2013), de maneira primorosa, o filme Blow-Up. Do conto ao filme, vários questionamentos foram trazidos por Antonioni, identificados tanto na obra literária quanto na fílmica. Tanto a literatura quanto os meios audiovisuais possuem a capacidade de narração e a necessidade de narrativas, o que permite a proximidade entre ambas as áreas. Contudo, cada linguagem tem suas especificidades, visto que as produções têm formas próprias de se expressarem e de se apropriar de significados. Para tal, traremos para discussão estudos referentes à literatura e fotografia, tais como Roland Barthes (1984), Ismael Xavier (2003), Susan Sontag (2003), Julio Cortázar (2003) entre outros.
Assessment of a Novel Augmented Closure Technique for Surgical Wounds Associated with Transmetatarsal Amputation: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Alexander Jeffery , Desai Vishal , Denden Sharif , Alianello Nicholas 
Published: October 2022

Background: Transmetatarsal amputation (TMA) is a viable option to avoid major amputation and limb loss in patients with forefoot sepsis, infection, or tissue loss. However, TMAs are associated with a significant incidence of dehiscence, readmission, and reoperation rates ranging from 26% to 63%. To encourage tissue healing, neovascularization, and durable closure, a nonwoven, resorbable, synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix whose architecture is similar to native human extracellular matrix was used in an augmented closure technique. We comparatively evaluated clinical outcomes and complication rates in TMA procedures with and without augmented closure.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of ten patients who underwent TMA with augmented closure using the synthetic matrix and ten patients who underwent TMA with standard primary closure was conducted.
Results: After TMA, 80% of the patients who underwent augmented closure demonstrated complete wound healing compared with 60% of the control group. Patients undergoing augmented closure demonstrated five instances of wound dehiscence and 20% limb loss compared with eight instances of wound dehiscence and 40% limb loss in the control group. After TMA and augmented closure, patients required eight interventional procedures before complete healing compared with patients undergoing standard closure, who required 13 interventional procedures before complete healing.
Conclusions: Augmented closure of surgical wounds after TMA using a synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix provided a unique means of reducing time to healing (18%), wound dehiscence (29%), number of procedures performed (39%), and rate of limb loss (20%). Augmented closure, therefore, offers a means of improving quality of life and reducing risk for patients undergoing TMA, and potentially reducing total cost of care.
The Association of Olfactory Impairment with Charcot Neuroarthropathy and Possible Links to Causation
Authors: Rader Andrew J. , Ruter Aaron 
Published: October 2022

Background: Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) is a devastating complication of some diseases affecting the peripheral nervous system. Initial subjective and objective presentation of the disease can be variable. Common among all presentations seems to be uncontrolled inflammation yielding dislocations and/or fractures. The exact cause remains the subject of much debate.
Methods: Our study retrospectively looks at the function of olfactory function in consecutive patients with CN and compares the findings with a nonaffected population. The University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test was used to assess olfaction and document microsomia.
Results: Twenty consecutive patients presenting with CN demonstrated significant (P < .0001) microsomia when compared to an unaffected population with diabetes.
Conclusions: Microsomia is strongly associated with CN. This finding may be correlated to voltage-gated sodium 1.7 channel impairment and appears to be a candidate precursor for the development of CN.

Authors: Kirdi Elif , Yildiz Sulenur , Yazicioglu Gul 
Published: October 2022

Background: Body awareness is an expression of the extent of sensitivity and attentiveness to internal bodily signals and sensations. The foot has a critical function in providing interoceptive and exteroceptive information. The purposes of this study were to 1) compare body awareness in individuals with and without hallux valgus (HV) deformity, and 2) investigate the relationship between body awareness and HV-related parameters.
Methods: A total of 129 participants completed the assessments. The severity of the HV was evaluated using the Manchester Scale; pain severity was evaluated using the numeric pain rating scale; and the functional status was evaluated using the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire. The patients were divided into two groups according to the Manchester Scale scores as the presence or absence of HV. The body awareness of the individuals with HV was assessed using the Body Awareness Questionnaire.
Results: Included in this study were 69 participants with HV and 60 healthy participants. There was no difference between groups in terms of demographic properties. Two groups were found different only in pain severity (P < .01). The correlation analysis showed that there was a low correlation between the body awareness score and pain severity in both feet (right foot, r = 0.306, P = .011; left foot, r = 0.320, P = .007) in individuals with HV.
Conclusions: Participants with HV had higher pain severity and the pain severity was associated with the body awareness. The level of body awareness should be assessed and taken into consideration in the management of pain in patients with HV.

This is a comparative study on mixture distribution; where the study seeks to ascertain whether higher number of k-component mixtures could result to development of models that show better fits. In the performance comparison, special consideration was given to univariate one parameter distributions derived using mixture models, and the results show that distributions of higher k-mixture components relatively have greater propensity to exhibit better fit than the lesser mixture component distributions (k < 3).
Conceptualizing Different Forest Degradation Drivers with Special Reference to India
Authors: Punia Harish , Jakhar Somveer 
Published: October 2022

Forest deterioration has been a global issue in the 21st century as one of the most serious environmental issues. The costs of forests degradation is in reducing productivity and natural resources such as water, land, grassland etc. Deforestation affects the whole globe but it is of main concern of developing countries of the Tropics. Forest deterioration and deforestation are caused by a variety of factors that vary depending on the location. The main aim of the review is to analyse various forest degradation drivers and to establish keys to estimate the level of degradation. The various direct and indirect drivers of forest degradation are excessive mining, selective logging, population explosion, climatic-change, forest fires, biological invasion, agricultural land expansion and weak forest administration. One sort of sustainability in a managed forest is the system of several landowners, each with a modest multifunctional, multispecies plot. Other plan for sustainable development is eco-development programme, which is inter and multi-stakeholder method for connecting the conservation benefits of protected areas with community people's livelihoods and development practices in the environments around them. A shift toward whole-landscape management is required, with a focus on places with high levels of usage mixed with areas principally maintained for conservation, recreation, and water catchment. Some guidelines are being created, but more interactions between ecologists, foresters, social scientists, and economists are urgently needed.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: Fasting is a practice of abstaining from certain or all kinds of food and beverages depending on the cultural and religious values of the individual. The objective of this study was to observe the effects of intermittent fasting on the weight of Muslim university students in Karachi, Pakistan.
Methods: A longitudinal study was undertaken at the public sector university in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan from 13 April to 12 May 2021. Using a predefined questionnaire at the beginning and end of one month of intermittent fasting, personal data and weight changes were recorded for a total of 95 participants.
Results: The sample was based on primary medical students with a predominance of 73.7% females (70). Most of them (67.4%) were in the age range between 20 and 29 years. About 44 (62.90%) were under the normal BMI of 18.5. When comparing the participants' weight, the mean weight pre-fasting was 58.66±12.12 kg, and the weight after one month of fasting was 58.76±12.67 kg showing a difference of 0.10 kg and a non-significant p-value of 0.73. 17.9% of the subjects had gained over 1 kilogram, 23.2% had lost over 1 kilogram, and 22.1% maintained their weight, after fasting.
Conclusion: The study indicated a weight change in most individuals enrolled. Although the weight change was not significant, an increase was seen among most of the individuals. Factors such as decreased physical activity due to COVID-19 quarantine practices, consumption of high-calorie dense foods, and reduced metabolism during fasting may contribute to the results.
Rapidly Deformable Vitrimer Epoxy System with Supreme Stress‐Relaxation Capabilities via Coordination of Solvate Ionic Liquids
Authors: Shin Jae‐Ho , Yi Mo‐Beom , Lee Tae‐Hyung , Kim Hyun‐Joong 
Published: October 2022

AbstractVitrimer epoxy, capable of stress‐relaxation, has gathered attention for its ability to counter the brittleness and rigidity of thermosets. However, to date, only two strategies are proposed to address the high enthalpic barrier of a dynamic exchange reaction using high dosages of external catalysts or niche moieties as internal catalysts. Herein, solvate ionic liquids (SILs) are incorporated into commercial epoxy‐based vinylogous urethane (VU) vitrimers. During curing, the SILs facilitate epoxy ring‐opening and amine‐addition reactions, significantly reducing gel times. Furthermore, after network formation, the SILs accelerate transamination reaction within the VU networks at a dosage of only 0.5–2 mol%. This can be attributed to their high miscibilities and Lewis acidic characters, which significantly reduce the activation energy of transamination (24 kJ mol−1) in the SIL‐incorporated vitrimer. Thus, a high‐performing vitrimer epoxy is prepared, featuring a glassy modulus (>109 Pa) at room temperature and an extremely short stress‐relaxation time (≈19 s) at 160 °C. Moreover, a soft encapsulation approach is demonstrated using the vitrimer epoxy, proving the possibility of a simultaneous deformable (bent) encapsulation, reduced warpage of a flexible printed circuit board, and selective removal of encapsulants.

Published: October 2022

AbstractMicrobial contamination of the surfaces of biomedical materials/devices is a major obstacle to their clinical applications. Therefore, developing a simple, efficient, and sustainable antibacterial coating is of increasing importance. Inspired by the surface adhesive effect of polyphenols, tannic acid (TA) is utilized to immobilize glucose oxidase (GOD) on the surface of biomedical materials, via hydrogen bonding. Under appropriate physiological conditions, antibacterial and anti‐infection effects of the as‐constructed TA/GOD coatings are explored. Through enzymatic conversion of glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the TA/GOD coating shows strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The TA/GOD coating also effectively resists biofilm formation of E. coli and S. aureus. Both in vitro and in vivo studies reveal that the TA/GOD coating does not induce significant adverse side effects during the treatment period. Thus, the present strategy produces an effective coating that resists both bacterial adhesion and persistent infection associated with biomedical materials/implants in the glucose‐containing physiological environment.
Electrically Tunable and Robust Bound States in the Continuum Enabled by 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenide

Published: October 2022

AbstractHigh quality factor (Q‐factor) resonance can effectively enhance light–matter interactions, but suffers from radiative losses caused by fabrication imperfections and material impurities. Merging bound states in the continuum (BICs) becomes a promising candidate to address this challenge since they generate a large high‐Q region in momentum space against undesired external perturbations. However, it is only achieved by altering the geometric parameters of the structure, which constrains its dynamical tunability once the fabrication is ready, limiting its performance in modulators and photodetectors. Here, a convenient approach is proposed to manipulating the merging BIC by electrically tuning the material properties, aiming at on‐chip photonic devices. The asymmetric merging BIC is achieved and tuned by reducing the in‐plane structural symmetry from to , which enables the inversion of topological charge and reconfigurable polarization distribution in the momentum space. Such tunable merging BIC promises various potential applications including vortex generation, optical communication, and nanolasers.

Published: October 2022

AbstractMegavoltage (MV) X‐ray detectors used in cancer treatment either suffer from low sensitivity (scintillators) or prohibitively high cost (direct conversion). Here solution‐processed direct‐conversion MV X‐ray detectors are demonstrated based on halide perovskites. The authors’ prototype devices show a sensitivity of ≈0.7 µC Gyair−1 cm–2, high photon‐to‐carrier conversion efficiency of 42 500%, and a signal‐to‐noise ratio of ≈1750 to 6 MV X‐ray beam of a medical linear accelerator. The detector shows a contrast of over −1.5% per cm of solid water, comparable to state‐of‐art commercial gadolinium oxysulfide (GOS) MV X‐ray scintillators. This work demonstrates the first prototype of low‐cost and efficient direct‐conversion MV X‐ray detectors.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe recent discovery of 2D ferromagnetic materials provides new opportunities for fabricating 2D ferromagnets‐based spin valve devices and exploring related novel physics. However, up to now, almost all works adopt a spin valve configuration by inserting different types of 2D materials into the gap between two 2D ferromagnetic electrodes as barrier spacer, rather than applying traditional tunneling barrier, such as Al2O3 films grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD), probably attributed to the instability and incompatibility for the widely explored 2D ferromagnets (CrI3, Fe3GeTe2) to the ALD growth process. Here, Cr1−xTe, an air‐stable 2D ferromagnetic metal grown by chemical vapor deposition, show excellent compatibility to ALD process of depositing Al2O3 films. The nonencapsulated Cr1−xTe/Al2O3/Cr1−xTe vertical spin valve devices demonstrate high magnetoresistance ratio of ≈28% and large spin polarization of 0.36 at 2 K. Furthermore, a gradual evolution from tunneling to metallic spin‐valve behavior is found upon decreasing Al2O3 spacer thickness. The work is constructive and illuminating for connecting the 2D ferromagnetic electrodes with traditional tunneling spacers for fundamental research and device applications.
