Analyse de l’effet L1 dans l’émergence de l’auxiliation en français L2 by Cyrille Granget

“…A first study analyzed and compared the use of AVCs in French L2 narratives produced by 7 Japanese speakers and by a group of 7 speakers with a different L1, German, at the same level of proficiency. The contrastive analysis of verbal forms used in plural contexts revealed a clear tendency for Japanese speakers of French L2 to use AVCs. …”

Espaço vivido e espaço mental: Dalton Trevisan e a dicotomia social do urbanismo curitibano by Nelson H. Vieira

“…This essay deals with the short stories of Dalton Trevisan and the city of Curitiba within the context of urbanism as “lived space”, using André Lefebvre’s terminology, with the aim of understanding the social dichotomy between a rural mentality and an urban modernity. By contrasting the many praises that Curitiba has received as a “green city” with tragic-comic and ominous scenarios played out in Trevisan’s narratives, this study points to the socio-historic vestiges of its past as a colonial city and how that social experience still marks local behavior. …”

Damage on a Solid–Liquid Interface Induced by the Dynamical Behavior of Injected Gas Bubbles in Flowing Mercury by Hiroyuki Kogawa, Takashi Wakui, Masatoshi Futakawa

“…Detailed observation and numerical analyses revealed that the microscopic pressure emitted from the gas bubbles contracting is sufficient to form pit damage, i.e., the directions of streak-like defects which are formed by connecting the pit damage coincides with the direction of the gas bubble trajectories, and the distances between the pits was understandable when taking the natural period of gas bubble vibration into account. …”

Viscosity Methods of Asymptotically Pseudocontractive and Asymptotically Nonexpansive Mappings for Variational Inequalities by Xionghua Wu, Yeong-Cheng Liou, Zhitao Wu, Pei-Xia Yang

“…Let {𝑡𝑛}⊂(0,1) be such that 𝑡𝑛→1 as 𝑛→∞, let 𝛼 and 𝛽 be two positive numbers such that 𝛼+𝛽=1, and let 𝑓 be a contraction. If 𝑇 be a continuous asymptotically pseudocontractive self-mapping of a nonempty bounded closed convex subset 𝐾 of a real reflexive Banach space with a uniformly Gateaux differentiable norm, under suitable conditions on the sequence {𝑡𝑛}, we show the existence of a sequence {𝑥𝑛}𝑛 satisfying the relation 𝑥𝑛=(1−𝑡𝑛/𝑘𝑛)𝑓(𝑥𝑛)+(𝑡𝑛/𝑘𝑛)𝑇𝑛𝑥𝑛 and prove that {𝑥𝑛} converges strongly to the fixed point of 𝑇, which solves some variational inequality provided 𝑇 is uniformly asymptotically regular. …”

Employment of Social Workers in the Public Sector: Current Situation, Challenges and Future Prospects by kamil Alptekin, Selami Topuz, Murat Öz

“…Apart from these, low levels of professionalization, recognition of other professions, lack of initiative and self-confidence, lack of recognition, and ongoing neoliberalist policies have also played a role in the contraction of employment in the public sector. In order to address the employment issue, there is a need for new and regulatory mechanisms to be put in place in the social work profession and education, which will be built with a common sense that is critically filtered. …”
