Les résultats de recherche précédents ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives. Ils offrent une opportunité d'action face aux constats classiques des recherches qui mettent en évidence le lien fort qui unit les performances scolaires à l'origine socioéconomique et culturelle des élèves (variable non modifiable). Or, l'engagement des parents dans la scolarité de leur enfant et les échanges qui existent entre l’école, les familles et la communauté sont des variables sur lesquelles il semble possible d'agir. L'objectif est donc d’induire auprès des responsables principaux de l'éducation (parents, enseignant·es) des changements de comportements susceptibles de favoriser une compréhension mutuelle et d'influencer positivement le regard que les enfants portent sur l’école ainsi que leurs parcours scolaires.

Introduction Introduction aux films du projet COMPARE Dans cette série de vidéos, nous vous montrerons comment développer la “literacy” avec de jeunes enfants et comment la collaboration avec les parents et les bibliothèques vous aident à cet effet. Film 1 Literacy – Qu’est-ce que c’est ? Les expériences précoces de « literacy » ont une incidence sur les compétences linguistiques et narratives des enfants, sur leur processus d'apprentissage de la lecture et de l'écriture, et sur leurs résultats scolaires futurs. La première vidéo introduit le concept de “literacy” et présente des situations productives. Film 2 Développer la literacy – Comment et avec qui ? Dans ce film, nous vous montrons comment développer la « literacy » avec les parents et les bibliothèques. Film 3 Visite des parents – un enrichissement Cette vidéo vous montre deux exemples de collaboration. Une éducatrice et des parents expliquent ce que la collaboration apporte aux enfants, aux parents et aux éducatrices. Film 4 Vers un partenariat avec les parents Dans cette crèche, les éducatrices cuisinent régulièrement avec les enfants et parfois avec les parents. Des situations de « literacy » en plusieurs langues apparaissent spontanément. Des parents ainsi que la chargée de la crèche partagent leurs visions sur les effets de la collaboration. [less ▲]

The documentation contains a set of tutorials introducing the main objects like digraphs, outranking digraphs and performance tableaux. There is also a tutorial provided on undirected graphs. Some tutorials are problem oriented and show how to compute the winner of an election, how to build a best choice recommendation, or how to rank or rate with multiple incommensurable performance criteria. Other tutorials concern more specifically operational aspects of computing maximal independent sets (MISs) and kernels in graphs and digraphs. The tutorial about split, interval and permutation graphs is inspired by Martin Ch. Golumbic’s book on Algorithmic Graph Theory and Perfect Graphs. A recent contribution studies the challenging fair intergroup and intragroup pairing problems. Finally, we provide a tutorial on tree graphs and spanning forests. [less ▲]

This virtual museum is dedicated to Russian migration in Luxembourg since the late 19th century. The basis for the early 20th century is the exhibition on the first Russian migrants in Luxembourg, created by the Center for Documentation of Humane Migration in Dudelange, Luxembourg (CDMH) and the Luxembourg Center for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH, University of Luxembourg), which took place in Gare-Usine in Dudelange from March 2020 until August 2021. The online collection of the photographs, objects and texts from the exhibition are presented here on Hypotheses.org. The initiative to create a virtual museum belongs to the Russian Center for Science and Culture (Russkiy Dom) in Luxemburg. This collection will be replenished with additional items and documents, since the history of Forced Labor of Soviet Citizens in Luxembourg during the WII is a research topic of C2DH in 2021-2024. This website is addressed to academic readers (students, researchers, teachers), as well as readers interested in the history of Russia, Luxembourg and the history of migration. [less ▲]

Non-linear design for composite structures in steel and concrete in reference to Eurocode 4, Part 1-1

The design of composite structures in steel and concrete for buildings follows the rules according to Eurocode 4: EN 1994-1-1. In the last years more and more individual composite members and cross-section types have been developed. Those sections are not always fulfilling the requirements for the application of simplified design methods given by EN 1994-1-1 and therefore plastic resistance cannot always be applied. Furthermore there is an increasing demand for optimization in the design by using more advanced design methods. This optimization is concentrating on the use of individual shaped cross-sections and their efficiency, the composite shear connectors and consideration of their ductility and flexibility, investigation in the sequence of loading, time effects as well as concrete cracking and yielding of steel within the analysis. In addition it is to be mentioned that the draft for the second generation of Eurocode 4 provides more opportunities for advanced numerical methods. At least, the demand for more advanced numerical design methods is permanently increasing also due to the availability of powerful hardware and software applications. The target of this chapter is to introduce the advanced numerical design for composite structural members in steel and concrete and to explain the boundary conditions given by Eurocode 4 and related Eurocodes. Thereby the focus is more on the member and not on the global analysis. The computer-aided global analyses for the determination of action effects are well-known for years while the possibilities for nonlinear analysis based on shell and volume elements considering physical and geometrical nonlinearity becoming more important and will be further developed in future. However, there is not so much information available explaining the application of e.g. the general method in detail and guidance is missing by the code. Therefore the general method acc. to EN 1994-1-1/prEN1994-1-1 is the main focus of this contribution. In the following, some principles for the design according to EN 1994-1-1 are explained. Thereby the basics for the classification of cross-sections as well as the determination of inner forces for continuous beams will be pointed out. However, the focus is on the general method for the design of composite compression members. While in the case studies additional information for the structural analysis and the numerical investigation in composite beams is provided. This chapter will not repeat well-known explanations from the literature, which have been published many times but limits itself to the most important normative fundamentals, rather concentrate on the application of numerical methods for the design of composite structures. More details for global structural analysis and the design according to EN 1994-1-1 [1] are provided by the literature, e.g. [8], [40] and will not be further commented here. It should be noted that the here referred methods according to prEN 1994-1-1, prEN 1993-1-14 and prEN 1992-1-1 do not represent officially introduced design standards, until the introduction of the second generation of Eurocodes modification is not finalized. Therefore this references are to be understood as informative. Until the introduction of the second generation of Eurocodes further changes and adjustments may also to be expected. [less ▲]

COVID-Kids The aim of the project COVID-Kids is to explore children’s well-being and stay-at-home experiences during the Coronavirus pandemic in May-July 2020 Episode 1 Listen to children and young people This first episode introduces the project COVID-Kids and some of its findings. It features four children who had different experiences during the pandemic. While some children found it stressful or boring to be at home, others enjoyed the quality time with their family. The aim of the project COVID-Kids is to explore children’s well-being and stay-at-home experiences during the Coronavirus pandemic in May-July 2020 Episode 2 The fear of getting ill Four children speak about the fear of getting ill. While two were not afraid, one child was worried that a family member fell ill and another one experienced adults shouting at him because they believed he had come too close. Further results of the project are presented. The aim of the project COVID-Kids is to explore children’s well-being and stay-at-home experiences during the Coronavirus pandemic in May-July 2020 Episode 3 Home schooling experiences This final movie presents some predictors of children’s well-being related to home schooling: the quantity, difficulty andjavascript:$('next-but').click(); content of homework.

Du réseau ARPANET né dans le contexte de la guerre froide aux réseaux socio-numériques d’aujourd’hui, le développement des communications numériques en réseau a entraîné en cinquante ans des changements majeurs, que ce soit en termes d’usages et de services mais aussi d’utilisateurs, passés d’un public plutôt restreint et universitaire au grand public. Le développement mondial d’Internet à partir de la décennie 1990 a eu un impact sur l’organisation de l’information et des communications numériques, ce qui n’est pas sans poser des défis techniques, mais aussi politiques, économiques et sociétaux. Il s’agit ici d’étudier Internet de sa naissance à la fin des années 1960 au World Wide Web de la fin des années 1980. Quelques tournants majeurs ont contribué à faire du « réseau des réseaux » et de ses services le vecteur d’une information à la fois de plus en plus mondialisée, mais aussi de plus en plus individualisée sous l’effet des moteurs de recherche, des filtres, des applications fermées développées par de grandes entreprises comme Google et des réseaux socio-numériques.

At the technical level, the goal of Interledger is to provide an architecture and a minimal set of protocols to enable interoperability for any value transfer system. The Interledger protocol is literally a protocol for interledger payments. To understand how is it possible to achieve this goal, several aspects of the technology require a deeper analysis. For this reason, in our journey to become knowledgeable and active contributor we decided to create our own test-bed on our premises. By doing so, we noticed that some aspects are well documented but we found that others might need more attention and clarification. Despite a large community effort, the task to keep information on a fast evolving software ecosystem is tedious and not always the priority for such a project. Therefore, the purpose of this document is to guide, through several hands-on activities, community members who want to engage at different levels. The document consolidates all the relevant information from generating a simple payment to ultimately create a test-bed with the Interledger protocol suite between Ripple and other distributed ledger technology.
