Pedagogical Strategies to Diminish Concepts of Language Privileging Among Pre-service Teachers by Anna Burnley

“…Additionally, this perspective can explore concepts of colonialism and language privileging, thereby encouraging a concept of language beyond geographic or cultural borders. Following a bibliographic survey, the paper examines current desired language teaching techniques and strategies that support the pre-service teacher in developing cultural and linguistic empathy and appreciation for the support of the home language during classroom acquisition of English as an additional or second or foreign language. …”

Le territoire limnique, une alternative à la gouvernance des plans d’eau par masses d’eau ? by Pascal Bartout, Laurent Touchart

“…Hence, the question arises of the relevance of the spatial perimeters used. A geographical, geosystemical, then regional approach based around ‘water territories' has allowed research and mentalities to develop, but the multiplicity of territories generated constitutes a brake against the questioning of the power of hydraulic engineers. …”

L’Italie selon Shakespeare et Ben Jonson : l’altérité dans un théâtre sans décor by Christophe Camard

“…The representation of a country unknown to the majority of the spectators and to a play’s author, in a theatre with little decor, is necessarily transmitted through a collection of images — physical, geographical, cultural, and also linguistic. The border between a realistic image and a simple stereotype is marked by a fine line: when does a representation of the Other become a cliché and when is it founded on more substantial knowledge, or, at least, informed by sources that allow for a methodological development of knowledge of this Other? …”

Determinants and Academic Performance: The Role of Prerequisites in University Achievement by Maria Giulia Ballatore, Anita Tabacco

“…Based on a sample of 3,739 students, the research evaluates the predictive validity of the entrance exam (Test In Laib - TIL) and the national state exam (Esame di Stato – EdS), considering variables such as gender, geographical origin, and scholastic background. The results show a significant correlation between TIL scores and the university credits earned in the first year, highlighting the importance of the TIL in predicting academic success, while EdS scores are not correlated with performance. …”

Spectrum access control for cognitive internet of things users based on enhanced weighted centroid localization by Bin SHEN, Yinbo LI, Xiaowei LIANG

“…In the cognitive internet of things (CIoT), due to the non-cooperative characteristics between the primary user (PU) and the secondary user (SU), it is unreliable to seek the spectrum access opportunity by merely relying on traditional spectrum sensing technology.As an important type of auxiliary information, the mutual location information between PU and SU can assist in determining the possibility of secondary access to the licensed frequency band (LFB).A low-complexity neighbor-based weighted centroid localization (NB-WCL) algorithm was proposed to solve the localization problem of SUs in CIoT, so as to complete the decision of whether spectrum access can be performed at each geographical location in CIoT.The root mean square root error (RMSE) performance of two-dimensional position estimation was analyzed and the impacts of factors were verified such as communication radius, node density, shadowing influence, path loss exponent, connectivity metric, and the number of data transmitted on the algorithm performance in simulations.The theoretical derivation and experimental results show that the proposed scheme provides more robust and better localization error performance for the SU localization algorithm in CIoT than the traditional localization algorithms, which can effectively enhance the reliability of CIoT for spectrum access.The proposed scheme can serve as a practically effective candidate solution in the CIoT.…”
