A Reflection on the Current State of Active Learning Research by Amedee Marchand Martella, Darryl Schneider

“…Although the large volume of active learning research has provided a myriad of ways to implement active learning in the classroom, the construct remains underdeveloped and difficult to operationalize because of three main issues in the research literature: (a) the variation in active learning activities in research and in practice; (b) the dichotomy between active learning and lecture; and (c) whether “active” in active learning refers to behavioral activity, cognitive activity, or both. …”

Des hystériques en mouvement : d’une assignation à une libération des corps ? Engagement des médecins et discours thérapeutiques dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle en France... by Grégory Quin, Anaïs Bohuon

“…Doctors’ commitment does contribute to reinforce the sexual dichotomy of the French society of the second half of the nineteenth century, and in the same dynamic they contribute to strengthen the connection made between motherhood and femininity as a pillar from Bourgeois’ ethos. …”

Plural Identity and Migrant Communities in Guy Gunaratne’s In Our Mad and Furious City (2018) by Margarida Pereira Martins

“…However, the community also becomes the location for the creation of social habits, cultural patterns, forms of ex- pression and group unity through the interaction and shared experiences of the locals. This dichotomy reveals underlying anxieties that raise questions about otherness, marginalisation and belonging, and how these aspects intersect in the construction of cultural identity. …”

Translation Invariant Spaces and Asymptotic Properties of Variational Equations by Adina Luminiţa Sasu, Bogdan Sasu

“…The main results do not only point out new necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of uniform and exponential dichotomy of skew-product flows, but also provide a clear chart of the connections between the classes of translation invariant function spaces that play the role of the input or output classes with respect to certain control systems. …”

Secondary throughput maximization scheme for non-linear energy harvesting cognitive radio networks by Haijiang GE, Ning JIA, Kaikai CHI, Yunzhi CHEN

“…Aiming at a cognitive radio network (CRN) consisting of a pair of primary users and M pairs of secondary users, the secondary throughput maximization for CRN based on the non-linear energy harvesting model was studied.Specifically, in the case of considering secondary transmitter (ST) circuit power, the secondary throughput maximization (STM) problem with primary users’ throughput demands was first modeled as a non-linear optimization problem and then transformed into a convex optimization problem.Finally, a low-complexity algorithm combining the golden section and dichotomy was proposed.By applying this low-complexity algorithm, the optimal time allocation of the primary transmitter (PT)’s energy transmission and secondary users’ information transmission, and the optimal transmission power of PT were obtained.In addition, for the case of neglecting the ST circuit power, the convex property of the STM problem was first proved, and then a more efficient algorithm was designed to solve it.The simulation results show that compared with the equal time allocation method and the link gain priority method, the proposed design algorithm significantly improves the throughput of secondary users.…”

À quel(s) public(s) s’adresse Darwin ? L’Origine des Espèces, entre ouvrage scientifique, œuvre littéraire, et texte de vulgarisation by Camille Debras

“…As the literary dimension of the book blurs the limit between the popular and the learned, Darwin tries to reconcile the core dichotomy between the religious and the agnostic reader by an ambiguous reference to the agency of natural selection : is it merely a random natural process, or literally a transcending agent, another version of God’s action in the theory of evolution ?…”

Circadian long call distribution in wild orangutans by Marina Davila Ross, Thomas Geissmann

“…Our findings from Batang Ai resemble more closely the pattern reported for Sumatra than those reported for other Bornean localities and, therefore, contradict earlier reports suggesting a Sumatra-Borneo dichotomy in orangutan call distribution. In addition, orangutans in Batang Ai were heard to regularly emit long calls throughout the night. …”

Piecing together ‘big pictures’ with social network analysis and digital tools by Aleksandra Kaye, James Poskett

“…Social network analysis, equipped with digital methods, offers historians a way to help generate alternative perspectives for analysis by revealing elusive patterns obscured by the apparent ‘centre/periphery’ dichotomy or ‘great-men’ narratives. The presented methods are focused on studying connections, relationships and structural characteristics in networks and can thus help bridge global and local perspectives and suggest new historical lines of argument. …”
