Subjects: Approche interculturelle – école primaire – manuels de FLE – évaluation

description: Selon les Instructions Officielles de l’Institut Pédagogique Hellénique, l’enseignement/ apprentissage du français à l’école primaire est basé sur l’approche communicative et vise le développement des compétences communicatives chez les apprenants. Une place importante est aussi accordée à la dimension culturelle et interculturelle de la langue. Quant au matériel didactique utilisé en classe, il est proposé aux enseignants une liste de méthodes de FLE, de maisons d’éditions grecques et françaises, parmi lesquelles ils peuvent effectuer leur sélection. L’objectif de cet article est d’évaluer deux de ces manuels scolaires afin de constater s’ils prennent en compte les principes de l’approche interculturelle. Ce qui nous intéresse plus particulièrement, c’est d’examiner si, dans ces manuels, sont présentés d’éléments culturels liés à la culture d’origine des apprenants et comment ils sont exploités en classe.

description: Controlling spin-orbit interaction and its effect on superconductivity has been a long-standing problem in two-dimensional inversion symmetry broken superconductors. An open challenge is to understand the role of various energy scales in shaping the complex phase diagram in these systems. From a combined experimental and theoretical study of resistance fluctuations and its higher order statistics, we propose a phase diagram for the superconducting phase in the magnetic-field--spin orbit interaction energy plane for the quasi-two dimensional electron gas at the interface of LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ heterostructures. The relative variance of resistance fluctuations increases by few orders of magnitude below the spin-orbit field B$_{SO}$ and a non-Gaussian component to the fluctuations arises for fields below the upper critical field B$_{C2}$. Theoretical calculations show that the non-Gaussian noise predominantly arises due to percolative nature of the superconducting transition. We quantify the strength and the relative importance of the spin-orbit interaction energy, Zeeman energy and the pairing potential. Our work highlights the important role played by the interplay between these energy scales in framing the fascinating phases seen in two-dimensional inversion-symmetry-broken superconductors.

description: Let G be a compact, locally L-analytic group, where L is a finite extension of Qp. Let K be a discretely valued extension field of L. We study the algebra D(G,K) of K-valued locally analytic distributions on G, and apply our results to the locally analytic representation theory of G in vector spaces over K. Our objective is to lay a useful and powerful foundation for the further study of such representations. We show that the noncommutative, nonnoetherian ring D(G,K) "behaves" like the ring of functions on a rigid Stein space, and that (at least when G is Qp-analytic) it is a faithfully flat extension of its subring K\otimes Zp[[G]], where Zp[[G]] is the completed group ring of G. We use this point of view to describe an abelian subcategory of D(G,K) modules that we call coadmissible. We say that a locally analytic representation V of G is admissible if its strong dual is coadmissible as D(G,K)-module. For noncompact G, we say V is admissible if its strong dual is coadmissible as D(H,K) module for some compact open subgroup H. In this way we obtain an abelian category of admissible locally analytic representations. These methods allow us to answer a number of questions raised in our earlier papers on p-adic representations; for example we show the existence of analytic vectors in the admissible Banach space representations of G that we studied in "Banach space representations ...", Israel J. Math. 127, 359-380 (2002). Finally we construct a dimension theory for D(G,K), which behaves for coadmissible modules like a regular ring, and show that smooth admissible representations are zero dimensional.

Em primeiro lugar, tem-se o debate constitucional sobre o caráter não absoluto e gradual da proteção jurídica ao desenvolvimento embrionário e fetal. Outrossim, há um grande embate moral que coíbe o aborto. Diante disso, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo geral analisar os direitos fundamentais violados com a criminalização do aborto. Como objetivos específicos, elencam-se: verificar a descriminalização do aborto em países democráticos; constatar a diferença de julgamento do Supremo Tribunal Federal na ADI 3.510 e ADPF 54; apurar o momento do início da vida humana no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro; pesquisar até que ponto a religião interfere nesse processo; investigar a classe de mulheres que mais são afetadas com os art. 124 e 126; reconhecer o déficit ao acesso à educação sexual, no Brasil, bem como examinar qual a razoabilidade constitucional do poder coercitivo do Estado para coibir o aborto.

description: This paper uses the extreme value theory (EVT) to predict extreme price events of Malaysian palm oil in the future, based on monthly futures price data for a 25 year period (mid-1986 to mid-2011). Model diagnostic has confirmed non-normal distribution of palm oil price data, thereby justifying the use of EVT. Two principal approaches to model extreme values – the Block Maxima (BM) and Peak-Over- Threshold (POT) models – were used. Both models revealed that the palm oil price will peak at an incremental rate in the next 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 year periods. The price growth level in Year-5 is estimated at 17.6% and 44.6% in Year-100 using BM approach. Use of the POT approach indicated a growth rate of 37.6% in Year-5 and 50.8% in Year 100, respectively. The key conclusion is that although the POT model outperformed the BM model, both approaches are effective in providing predictions of growth in prices caused by extreme events. The results could serve as a useful guide to farmers, exporters, governments, and other stakeholders of the palm oil industry informing strategic planning for the future.

description: O problema objeto da investigação científica proposta são os fatores responsáveis pela disseminação do preconceito contra a religião islã no Brasil no século XXI e seus reflexos no universo jurídico. Uma pesquisa feita a partir de dados do Ministério dos Direitos Humanos, constatou que de janeiro de 2015 até o primeiro semestre do ano de 2016, foram registradas no Brasil uma denúncia a cada 15 horas contra casos de intolerância religiosa. Dentre os casos registrados pode-se analisar desde agressões verbais à invasão de templos e destruição de imagens sacras. A principal alavanca para a escolha desse tema é a indignação contra os ataques à liberdade de expressão, liberdade de culto e à dignidade dos indivíduos seguidores da religião islâmica, uma vez que, muitos deles ao deixar sua terra de origem e procurar se instalar em outros territórios e em outras sociedades pelos mais diversos motivos, tornam-se vítimas de difamação, agressão física ou psicológica, repressão e até mesmo de exclusão social.

description: Dependable predictions of the X-ray burst ashes and light curves require a stringent constraint on the composition of the accreted material as an input parameter. Lower metallicity models are generally based on a metal deficient donor and all metals are summed up in CNO abundances or solar metal distribution is assumed. In this work, we study the alteration of accreted composition due to spallation in the atmosphere of accreting neutron stars considering a cascading destruction process. We find that the inclusion of the cascading process brings the replenishment of CNO elements and overall survival probability is higher compared to isolated destruction of CNO elements. Spallation model provides the distribution of metals as a function of mass accretion rate. Multi-zone X-ray burst models calculated with reduced metallicities have enhanced abundances for high-mass nuclei in X-ray burst ashes. The increased metallicity due to the replenishment of CNO elements changes the composition of burst ashes compared to lower metallicity conditions. This will modify the thermal and compositional structure of accreted neutron star crusts.

description: We show that the main features of the annual modulation of the signal expected in a WIMP direct detection experiment, i.e. its sinusoidal dependence with time, the occurrence of its maxima and minima during the year and (under some circumstances) even the one-year period, may be affected by relaxing the isothermal sphere hypothesis in the description of the WIMP velocity phase space. The most relevant effect is a distortion of the time-behaviour at low recoil energies for anisotropic galactic halos. While some of these effects turn out to be relevant at recoil energies below the current detector thresholds, some others could already be measurable, although some degree of tuning between the WIMP mass and the experimental parameters would be required. Either the observation or non-observation of these effects could provide clues on the phase space distribution of our galactic halo.

description: Value-at-Risk (VaR) estimates the downside risk of a portfolio of assets, usually derivatives, at a particular confidence level over a specified time horizon. VaR plays an important role in corporate risk management. This discussion piece highlights the role of VaR in the context of a corporate risk management system. The informational demands of such a system are presented in the context of a foodservice business that uses derivatives products to manage absolute price risk. Risks inherent in the use of derivatives products are also outlined. Through an examination of the informational demands of corporate risk managers, as well as the risks of derivative products, avenues for future research regarding the estimation of VaR measures are presented.

The current USDA income series, at the national level, include estimates of net farm income, net cash income, net business income, net cash-flow, and farm production transactions. In 1980, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Economic Research Service (ERS) added three new income series to reflect the changing farm economy of the 1970's. The new series included net cash income, net cash-flow, and production transactions with estimates back to 1940. A net business income series in the National Financial Summary with estimates back to 1940 was introduced by ERS in 1985. The net cash-flow account, net business income, and farm production transactions (excluding operator dwelling) have never before been extended or published back to 1910.

description: In this work, a hybrid Euler-Lagrangian solver for dense spray systems is developed specifically for cases where film creation by accumulation of liquid droplets at the walls plays a crucial role. EulerLagrangian solvers are commonly used to describe the spray with predefined spray characteristics. The Lagrangian particles represent liquid drops moving along the continuous gaseous phase. This approach assumes a small particle size compared to the cell size and it is unable to capture the breakup behavior of liquid jets in the presence of instabilities. VOF methods, on the other hand, are not a computationally feasible option when it comes to small droplet sizes as a result of liquid atomization because they have to be fully resolved by the computational mesh. Hence, multiscale simulations are required to bridge the gap between the two methods combining subgrid droplets in Lagrangian approaches and large liquid structures in VOF methods. In the present work, a multiscale approach is developed where Lagrangian particles representing small droplets are tracked through the continuous phase until they hit a wall or a liquid-gas interface represented by a continuous VOF field. At the time of impact, the Lagrangian particles are removed and the mass and momentum of these particles are transferred to the VOF field. This allows having a spray consisting of subgrid droplets computed with a Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) approach and liquid films at the walls with VOF method. The method represents a one-way coupling, converting Lagrangian particles to Eulerian liquid phase (VOF) and has been implemented into the open-source CFD code OpenFOAM. Subsequently, the solver has been tested in different scenarios to ensure mass and momentum conservation. Positive test results encouraged its use to gain insight on the fluid flow in a real cylindrical compression-dissolution unit where the liquid is sprayed from the top while simultaneously the gas is compressed from the bottom. Dynamic mesh technique is used to account for the compression with a moving piston.

description: During the past decades farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa had been prevented from making more intensive use of their mostly under-utilised production potentials by unattractive prices and market conditions, which in many countries were reinforced by a less than conducive policy environment. At the same time, there were no sufficient opportunities outside agriculture to allow rural families to give up their subsistence production. Now, as agricultural prices tend to rise with a long-term perspective, while natural conditions tend to deteriorate, African farmers (and policies) are facing both incentives and a pressure for intensification of their production systems. However, most small-scale farmers, having been forced to get involved in diversified, multilocational rural-urban livelihood systems, are not well-prepared to respond flexibly to the new conditions. Based on this assessment, this article concludes by emphasising the necessity to support a new, albeit alternative (i.e. context-specific), ‘Green Revolution’ for Sub-Saharan Africa.

description: We present a generic framework for modelling three-dimensional deformable shells of active matter that captures the orientational dynamics of the active particles and hydrodynamic interactions on the shell and with the surrounding environment. We find that the cross-talk between the self-induced flows of active particles and dynamic reshaping of the shell can result in conformations that are tunable by varying the form and magnitude of active stresses. We further demonstrate and explain how self-induced topological defects in the active layer can direct the morphodynamics of the shell. These findings are relevant to understanding morphological changes during organ development and the design of bio-inspired materials that are capable of self-organisation.

description: 50 years since independence, agriculture remains a key driver for economic growth, rural development and poverty reduction in many African countries. Yet, the sector has suffered from market and policy failures and has largely failed to fulfil its potential. Why do agricultural policies seem to have failed in seizing development opportunities? This paper argues that this is partly due to the fact that the legacy of political economy of agricultural policy reforms in Africa was inadequately considered. After decades of research, the political economy of agricultural policy making in Africa still seems to puzzle academics and practitioners alike. This paper discusses the evolution of the specific political economy in agricultural policy reforms from a historic perspective, and why political economy issues are (still) key problems in rural development. Even though political economy has been analysed from different economic and social science angles, the respective results have rarely been synthesised and put into practical use. The author argues that a lot can be gained by addressing the political economy in African agriculture in a more inter-disciplinary way and she provides lessons learned for both development research and development cooperation.

Throughout history, time travel has captured the imagination of both scientists and dreamers alike. From the pages of science fiction to the depths of theoretical physics, the idea of moving across time has seemed impossible, blocked by paradoxes, and constrained by the immutable laws of physics. But what if the answer lies not in bending the physical laws of the universe but in reinterpreting the nature of time itself?.

description: After independence around 1960, African countries started with high hopes for rapid growth and development. Whereas the initial performance was remarkable, economic development slowed in the 1970s and stagnated in the 1980s. In response, the states’ attempts to reinvigorate economic growth through state-led investments and import substitution industrialisation strategies were unsuccessful. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and Western donors developed and advocated Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs), which emphasised macroeconomic stabilisation, privatisation and free market development. The SAP approach has generated considerable debate within African countries and development circles. While proponents argued that the reforms were essential and without alternatives, critics charged that SAPs paid insufficient attention to the social dimension of development and to the institutional weaknesses of developing countries. The debate continues. This paper discusses the pro and contra arguments of the debate, presents lessons learned, and draws conclusions for future policy priorities.

description: This paper analyses the roles that local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) can play in agricultural development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Two fundamental roles are commonly discerned: service delivery and advocacy as civil society organisation. Based on empirical research in Benin, the paper analyses and compares the requirements of different roles and typical activities in agricultural development on the one hand with motivations and characteristics of local NGOs on the other hand. This includes the analysis of the social and political environment as the decisive factor for NGO emergence and activity selection. Findings suggest that due to internal factors such as motivation, skills and capacity, and to external conditions such as donors’ special interests and funding, local NGOs have problems in delivering on both of their roles. It is concluded that the potential of local NGOs can be best put into practice in pluralistic institutional arrangements. Here, they are best suited to carry out activities at the interface between the rural population and other actors in rural development, while more professional services are feasible if specialisation is supported. This support must include appropriate framework conditions, a long-term and adapted commitment by donors, and adequate preparation of staff.
Jeux de lettres et apprentissage du fulfulde

Subjects: word games – education – Cameroonian languages – Fulani

description: The problem of teaching the Cameroonian languages has always sharpened the scientific and academic research. The implementation of this teaching is perceived as a practice in which it is necessary to pay attention given that the French and English languages are taking care of the truly authentic national identity of Cameroon. Moreover we observe a lack of political will to redefine the balanced relationship among Cameroonian and official languages. The present reflection proposes to set up a teaching method based on the Fulani word games. It appears as a real boost to the development of faculties or linguistic abilities of the Fulani language learners or not. Hence the question: how can we learn Fulfulde by the usage of its word games and combining business with pleasure? This fundamental question is to instill in the student the skills of graphic and phonetic words of the targeted language through fun. It is about getting learners to learn Fulani by playing word games, games which show the originality of this work for the development, promotion or learning of the local languages through a game that has never been explored, there is therefore a blank field. Guided by an experimental approach, the present contribution is based on existing literature and field surveys, setting the learning of Fulani through a game.

The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) – An Assessment of a Pan-African Attempt to Revitalise Agriculture –

subject: The Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP)

description: CAADP is an exciting change process of the African Union (AU) and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) to shape African agricultural policy making and development from within the continent. CAADP covers a wide range of issues from natural resource management through agricultural production and value chains to food security. Its goals, increasing government budgets, donor and private funding, and improving the quality and the outcome of agricultural policies in all African countries, point in the right direction and come at the right time. However, it has to be noted that CAADP has not yet led to a systematic improvement of agricultural policy making – the older CAADP design was not convincing in terms of participation, ownership and use of evidence, and the new, improved design is about to be implemented. Some important elements of the existing CAADP design are still rudimentary, such as peer review or interventions of the pillar network. The overall targets – agricultural growth and poverty alleviation – are still far away from being a reality. Nevertheless, CAADP has shown that it is a learning system, and it has developed into a comprehensive concept. It must now demonstrate that it can implement its agenda. It must develop and institutionalise convincing quality control mechanisms, monitoring and evaluation, and it must coordinate the many tools and actors that it has put into motion. In case CAADP fails, there is a risk that the entire agricultural sector will once again be classified as “too complex to be managed”. Donors are therefore well advised to support it wisely, but the main impetus must come from the African agricultural community, state and non-state actors.
Can empathy override contagion in decision making?

description: Witnessing suffering can trigger discomfort in people, eliciting responses that range from selfishness to altruism. Although empathy generally motivates prosocial behavior, it may also trigger egoistic responses due to its cognitively taxing nature. This study examined whether empathy towards a target in need can counteract contagion-an irrational dislike of targets associated with negative situations. Across three experiments, we assessed participants' willingness to empathize with dog targets in hypothetical adoption scenarios, explored the impact of mood on empathy and prosocial behavior, and compared the effects of empathy on liking and pity decisions within the contagion paradigm. Results revealed a strong preference for empathy, which fostered prosocial behavior despite the presence of contagion. Positive mood enhanced empathetic responses but did not increase prosocial behavior. Finally, empathy influenced liking but not pity decisions. These findings indicate that empathy toward animals is rewarding and can motivate prosocial actions, overcoming distress-induced avoidant tendencies.

description: Whilst grading neurovascular abnormalities is critical for prompt surgical repair, no statistical markers are currently available for predicting the risk of adverse events, such as stroke, and the overall resilience of a network to vascular complications. The lack of compact, fast, and scalable simulations with network perturbations impedes the analysis of the vascular resilience to life-threatening conditions, surgical interventions and long-term follow-up. We introduce a graph-based approach for efficient simulations, which statistically estimates biomarkers from a series of perturbations on the patient-specific vascular network. Analog-equivalent circuits are derived from clinical angiographies. Vascular graphs embed mechanical attributes modelling the impedance of a tubular structure with stenosis, tortuosity and complete occlusions. We evaluate pressure and flow distributions, simulating healthy topologies and abnormal variants with perturbations in key pathological scenarios. These describe the intrinsic network resilience to pathology, and delineate the underlying cerebrovascular autoregulation mechanisms. Lastly, a putative graph sampling strategy is devised on the same formulation, to support the topological inference of uncertain neurovascular graphs.

description: We classify the rational Yangian invariants of the $m=2$ toy model of $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang-Mills theory in terms of generalised triangles inside the amplituhedron $\mathcal{A}_{n,k}^{(2)}$. We enumerate and provide an explicit formula for all invariants for any number of particles $n$ and any helicity degree $k$. Each invariant manifestly satisfies cluster adjacency with respect to the $Gr(2,n)$ cluster algebra.

description: Most of the object notions are embedded into a logical domain, especially when dealing with a database theory. Thus, their properties within a computational domain are not yet studied properly. The main topic of this paper is to analyze different concepts of the distinct computational primitive frames to extract the useful object properties and their possible advantages. Some important metaoperators are used to unify the approaches and to establish their possible correspondences.

description: O artigo parte do questionamento sobre as consequências da saída do Acordo de Paris recentemente noticiada pela imprensa nacional. Como a Europa trata da questão ambiental? Quem são os millenials e de que se tratam as Sexta-feiras pelo futuro? - Sendo certo que devemos nos preocupar em proteger o meio ambiente para as gerações futuras, conforme preconizado em nosso ordenamento pátrio, também é certo que surge entre a juventude a chamada geração millenials, que não espera por nossas iniciativas. Por todo o planeta, este movimento que se declara apartidário tem uma única reivindicação: pede aos governos que cumpram com o que se comprometeram no Acordo de Paris. Este pacto, que data de 2015 e começará a ser efetivo a partir de 2020, tem metas — que o irreversível aumento da temperatura permaneça dentro de limites controláveis, entre 1,5 e 2 graus — e define como alcançá-las — por meio da eliminação de gases de efeito estufa da economia mundial.
