De la rue aux pupitres : l’éducation au plurilinguisme à travers les paysages linguistiques vue par les enseignants de langues by Maria Helena Araújo e Sá, Raquel Carinhas, Sílvia Melo-Pfeifer

“…After discussing different possibilities of working with LL in the classroom, we argue that the multimodal transposition of LL from their authentic environments of production and reception to the classroom allows for reflexive work on interlingual and intercultural contacts in general and on the process of LL constitution, more specifically. We will quantitatively and qualitatively analyze data from the piloting of an app by (future) language teachers who created games on the app's interface supported by the app designers. …”

Dissipation rates from experimental uncertainty by Aishani Ghosal, Jason R. Green

“…Active matter and driven systems exhibit statistical fluctuations in density and particle positions that are an indirect indicator of dissipation across length and time scales. Here, we quantitatively relate these fluctuations to a thermodynamic speed limit that constrains the rates of heat and entropy production in nonequilibrium processes. …”

Stochastic spatiotemporal growth model reproducing the universal statistical laws of the gut microbiome by Rie Maskawa, Hideki Takayasu, Lena Takayasu, Wataru Suda, Misako Takayasu

“…The model is based on a microscopic model representing the dynamics of each species at local sites on the gut wall, modeled as a random multiplicative process. By introducing coarse-grained time and spatial scales that reflect real-world sampling processes, the model provides a physical interpretation of the dynamic properties of the empirical data, including timescales and temporal stochasticity. …”

Glacier meltwater contribution to river runoff in Western Mongolia by Purevdagva Khalzan, Sanjar Sadyrov, Akiko Sakai, Kenji Tanaka, Koji Fujita

“…We simulated the runoff in three river basins in western Mongolia that receive glacier meltwater. ERA5 reanalysis data were evaluated using observations at 28 meteorological stations, and then the glacier meltwater and river runoff were simulated using statistically downscaled ERA5 reanalysis data and three models: an energy-mass-balance model for glaciers, a land-surface process model for ice-free terrain, and a river runoff model to combine the runoff from the two terrains. …”
