Peut-on dynamiser le travail des étudiants en Licence? by François Agnès, Diane Leduc, Morgane Locker

“…With the aim of reinforcing motivation, volition and cognition (Houart, 2017), we designed and deployed for two consecutive years, a hybrid pedagogical device based on the alternation of distant assimilation phases and face-to-face applications (Charlier et al., 2006). Analysis of its benefits, carried out through questionnaires submitted to students, indicates a very strong support on their part to the process, increased motivation to work and a feeling of methodological progress.…”

THE IMPACT OF THE EXCHANGE RATE ON TRADE IN AGRIFOOD PRODUCTS AS A COMPONENT PART OF THE BALANCE OF FOREIGN PAYMENTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA by Elena NIREAN

“…Instead, the competitiveness of domestic products will reduce because they will become more expensive. In the research process there was used the method of induction, initially by general information about the exchange rate and balance of foreign payments, about its structure, and subsequently there was used the analysis of concrete data on trade in agri food products and the balance of payments as well as the dynamics of the national currency depreciation. …”

DDA Simulation Study on Mechanical Failure of Heterogenous Rock by Youjun Ning, Xinyang Lv, Zheng Yang

“…In the present work, a statistical rock mesoheterogeneity model based on the Weibull distribution function is introduced into the discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) method to simulate the mechanical failure of heterogeneous rock, in which the general heterogeneity degree is controlled by a heterogeneity index and the mechanical property of each subblock element is randomly assigned. …”

Turning Points in Research: Systems and Theory by György C. Kálmán

“…I regard system theoretical approaches or schools as such a turning point and argue that it is not a story of the decay of Structuralism, its decomposition: the systemic approach to (or systems theory of) literature (or humanities in general) is, then, not in fact ready, completed, it could and should be put together from very precious spare parts; such an inquiry would posit the process of producing, mediating and consuming texts within the structure and history of society; it would contemplate texts as operating in a given system which has its own participants, agents having different functions, roles.…”
