Full textAbstract:
This study aims at investigating the ability of the pronunciation of French phonemes by students of English Department, Faculty of Culture, Udayana University. It also intends to analyse the way they articulated the phonemes and identified factors affecting their pronunctiation. This research is very interesting to do considering that the correct pronunciation of a phoneme or sound of a Foreign Language is one of the important points that must be mastered by the learners. The French sound system which is different from Indonesian and English certainly becomes one of the obstacles for students besides their lack of knowledge about the French phonemes. It is important to know which phonemes they have been able to pronounce and which are still difficult for them, so that inovations in teaching French can be made, especially in enhancing students' ability in pronouncing sounds which are considered difficult in French.
Forty students of English Department who chose French as their elective subject were taken as the population of this study. The data were taken by applying observation method using quesionares, recording, and note taking techniqes. The data were descriptive-qualitatively analysed by applying the theory of phonology.
Keywords : capability, pronunciation, phonemes, French.

Medieval studies are an established part of the curriculum in the Departments of English, French and History at McMaster University. The Middle Ages also figure in courses offered by the Department of Religious Studies. Unfortunately, however, the medieval period is not specifically addressed in the Departments of Philosophy, Music and Art History where the discipline is limited to mentions in survey courses. Overall, we do not have great reason to complain about the present situation. However, we have certainly experienced a loss of scholars over recent years, a loss which is especially marked in the Department of English. We have no assurance that existing positions will be filled when several of the incumbents retire within the next five years.

Full textAbstract:
Medieval Studies at Carleton University are in a state of change right now. Recent retirements in some departments have meant that some offerings have disappeared, while recent hirings in other departments have led to an increase in the number and variety of courses offered there. A self-directed interdisciplinary B.A. in Medieval Studies is currently on the books, but has not often been taken up in recent years. Students usually study the Middle Ages as part of a more traditional disciplinary degree program (B.A. in History, B.A. in English). In the History department right now, one course on the Middle Ages is offered, a survey of the history of medieval England, and medieval history is listed as one of the supervised fields for the M.A.. In the College of the Humanities, students have the opportunity to take a more general introduction to the history of the Middle Ages, or a survey of medieval philosophy. Offerings in history and philosophy thus consist mainly of survey courses at the undergraduate level. Survey courses of medieval and Renaissance literature are offered by the French and English departments. Students in French may also take a course in History of the French Language and occasionally a fourth-year seminar in medieval French literature. In the English department, undergraduate students may pursue medieval studies beyond the survey level in a 300-level Chaucer course or in a 400-level seminar in medieval literature whose specific topic varies each year. Graduate courses in medieval literature are also offered each year in the English department's M.A. program. Independent reading courses, too, are offered, while courses such as History of the English Language (which has not been offered in recent years) are being revived. Thus, in some disciplines at Carleton the opportunity to study the Middle Ages has declined, but in others that opportunity has increased and will continue to do so.

The Department of French Studies at the University of Sydney is the largest and oldest in Australia, with undergraduate and postgraduate students numbering approximately 600. Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth universities also have significant departments, but melbourne and Monash universities (both in Melbourne) are the only others to have Professorial chairs: in the hey-day of French Studies there were 13 professorial chairs in Australian universities and the lack of chairs now signals that French Studies programmes overall have been downgraded, French language programmes and the study of France and the French often becoming part of comparative literature or European studies courses.

Abstract The overall goal of this study was to find out French language teacher trainees perception of pedagogical content knowledge in French language. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population comprised of all 415 French undergraduate students’ in the Department of Educational Foundations, Faculty of Education and, the Department of Foreign Languages, Faculty of Arts of a Nigerian University. A total of 108 French students were selected from the population through a simple random sampling technique as the sample for the study. A likert type questionnaire with a four point scale was validated by three experts. Using the Cronbach Alpha statistic, a reliability coefficient of 0.75 was obtained. Data was analyzed using means and standard deviation and a criterion mean of 2.50 was used for acceptance and rejection. The results show that Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is capable of developing French teacher trainees’ competences in problem solving skills, erases possible misconceptions and erroneous reasoning, simulates the use of various representations and instruction of knowledge and helps in the development of proactive thinking, attitude and self-confidence. It was therefore, recommended that more methodology courses should be designed and implemented to help the trainees content knowledge as well as pedagogical content knowledge so that they can serve effectively as twenty first century language teachers.

This research aims to investigate to what extent students and professors at the University of Jordan use information technology in teaching and learning French. It also intends to evaluate the effect that IT tools have on the teaching/learning of this language at the Department of French at this university. The study sample was confined to (90) third-year students majoring in French. Another sample included all (8) professors in the department. The research method utilized two questionnaires, one for the professors and the other for students. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, and highlighting means and frequencies. The findings revealed that technology is used by the majority of students for such tasks as using online dictionaries, getting information for their projects and assignments and doing power point presentations. These activities play a part in developing their learning of the language. The findings also showed limitations in their interaction with native-speakers, use of social media, movies, and songs in the target language. As for the professors, the answers revealed that information technology is not often used in their courses. And when used, it is limited to e-mails or power-point presentations.

Abstract The aim of the paper is to propose a model of subtitling training in the university education of future subtitlers in the study programmes French Language and Culture and German Language and Culture. The authors briefly define the tradition of training in audiovisual translation (AVT) in Slovakia (Perez, 2017; Paulínyová & Perez, 2018) compared to the international development of training in AVT (Díaz-Cintas, 2008), including the presentation of the French and German courses on audiovisual translation currently proposed at the Department of Translation Studies at Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia. The proposed model is based on the constructivist concept emphasizing the principles of cooperation, interaction, and social learning (Mraček, 2015; Mračková Vavroušová, 2017; Kiraly, 2000), while using simulated translation (subtitling) assignments which seem to be an effective tool in the training of future subtitlers in accordance with the needs and requirements of the real translation market. Authors describe individual phases of teaching subtitling which they applied in the French and German courses on audiovisual translation, and subsequently evaluate the quality of student subtitles by analysing their error rate according to the FAR model (Pedersen, 2017). The presented model can serve as a didactic tool applicable in teaching other types of translation as well (dubbing, literary translation, specialized translation etc).

When Namibia became an independent state in 1990, the Republic of Namibia inherited the Merchant Shipping Act No. 57 of 1951 from the old South Africa regime. The Merchant Shipping Amendment Act, 1991 was signed into force “in order to adjust its provisions in view of the independence of Namibia; and to provide for incidental matters.” Maritime issues were placed under the authority of the Ministry of Works and Transport, however, without any particular defined body, except Department of Transport, to enforce the provisions of the amendment Act (The Merchant Shipping Act No. 57 of 1951, as amended in 1991). In 1995 the Directorate Maritime Affairs was established to be the Ministry’s executing body, and one of the first tasks taken on in order to get a firm picture of the maritime legal situation was to carry out an analyse of the Merchant Shipping Act. According to Professor Hilton Staniland of the University of Natal, in his executive summary he states among others: ‘’The 1951 Act is out of date and places, in particular, the safety of life and ships at sea, the protection of the marine environment provide Namibia a disadvantageous position as far as international maritime transport and trade is concerned. It is interesting in this connection to note the concerns at that time expressed by representatives from the fishing industry: ‘’The industry therefore (not sufficient Namibians with certificates) favours the amendment of section 83 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1951 in order to provide for the more ready recognition of foreign certificates. Section 83 of the Act opens up for allowing holders of foreign certificates to serve on board Namibian ships. In the meantime the newly established Directorate Maritime Affairs should make a choice: Either hastily accede to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Conventions or first ensure that relevant instruments were in place and then work for the accession to the Conventions. It was decided to ensure that the Directorate would be able to enforce the Conventions and then accede. The aims of the directorate are: to ensure the safety of life and property at sea; to prevent and combat pollution of the marine environment by ships and to promote the maritime interests of Namibia.

This study involved a quantitative, quasi-experimental and contextual design. The target population for this phase was senior student nurses registered at the University of Namibia, in their fourth year of nursing studies in the training hospitals of Windhoek and Oshakati. A total of 46 fourth-year nursing students, registered at the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences in the Department of Nursing, were included for phase 1 except for the two students who took part in the pilot study. The students were from both campuses, namely the Windhoek and Oshakati campuses, doing the four-year Diploma in Comprehensive Nursing curriculum, which incorporates the principles of critical thinking. An imaginary case scenario was developed for students to analyse and answer some relevant questions to enable the researcher to determine the level of understanding and integration of critical thinking. In this study each student’s answers were deductively analysed by calculating central values, more specifically the mean for each question, to determine their application of critical thinking skills in the management of a nursing problemThe researcher has, with literature support, arrived at “umbrella” concepts, namely the most important concepts that nurses in Namibia need and without which they cannot practice. These umbrella concepts are to be included in the educational programme.

Refugee depots for Polish emigrants in Châteauroux and Indre department in the years 1831–1833 In the article the author presents the setting up and operation of refugee depots (Fr. dépôts) in the Indre department for Polish emigrants who arrived in France after the fall of the November Uprising. The refugee depot in Châteauroux was one of the several depots founded by the French government. It was intended for civil exiles. The other camps for military refugees were set up in Avignon, Lunel, Besançon, Bourges, Lons-le-Saunier, Salins and Dijon. From the beginning of August 1832 till August 1833, the French authorities directed civilians to cities of Indre: Châteauroux – the capital of the department, as well as Issoudun, Levroux, La Chatre, Argenton, Buzançais, Chatillon, Saint Benoit, and La Blanc. The author establishes that in that period of time, 634 Polish refugees went through the camps of the Indre department. Most of them were students (from the Vilnius University), young officials and members of free professions. They came from the pre-partition areas of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Lithuania, Volhynia and Podolia). Despite the restrictive policy of the administration and the fact that they stayed in the French province, the Poles engaged in the social and political life of emigration. They participated actively in democratic and educational organizations of the Great Emigration. In many cases, by their own determination, they went to study and obtained aducation at French universities and technical universities. The article is based on sources from the Indre Department Archives in Châteauroux, archives of the Defense Historical Service in Vincennes, the National Archives in Paris, the Polish Library in Paris, the Princes Czartoryski Library in Krakow, and academic studies.

Terminology is part of the program of university degree in Slovenia. The purpose of the paper is to study some parameters in terminology teaching within the framework of French legal terminology offered by the Department of Translation at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana. The program takes into account multiple aspects, which represent an important issue in translation. Mastering legal terminology is often a source of difficulties, since law, as any specialized discipline, uses its own vocabulary. The present article suggests an analysis of some specificities of legal terminology in particular for the teaching of the French legal system in Slovenian legal education.

Full textAbstract:
It has only been in the last few years that the plays of Michel Vinaver have begun to be discovered and produced in Britain. Yet he has been working as a playwright in his native France since 1955, and has become increasingly respected and widely produced there since overcoming a seven-year ‘writer's block’ in 1967. Here, David Bradby's introduction to Vinaver's dramaturgy is followed by a detailed analysis of one of his most recent plays, L'Emission de télévision, and this critical material is complemented by a chronology of Vinaver's career, excerpted statements by and about the writer – including an ‘auto-interview’ of Vinaver by Vinaver – and a bibliography. David Bradby is Professor of Drama and Head of the Department of Drama and Theatre Studies at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London: he has published widely, especially on the French theatre, and his major study, Modern French Drama, 1940–1990, has recently appeared in a revised edition from Cambridge University Press. He is currently working on a study of Vinaver for the University of Michigan Press. Michel Vinaver's own assessment of the present state of French theatre funding was included in NTQ25 (1991).

In the article, based on official documents, first of all the decisions of the Academic Council meetings of Ivan Franko State University of Lviv, characterized the structural changes at University during the 1990s, which were closely related to its international activities. Emphasis was placed on such departments as the Department of International Relations, the Faculty of Preparation for Foreign Citizens, the Department of Applied Ukrainian Linguistics (intended to provide courses in “Ukrainian as a Foreign Language” and “Ukrainian for Foreign Citizens”) and the Department of Oriental Studies (renaissance at the University of oriental studies was one of the foundations of establishing international cooperation with the countries of the East) of Philological Faculty, Faculty of Pre-University Training, Faculty of Foreign Languages (with emphasis on development new concepts of teaching and learning of foreign languages), in particular, the Department of Translation Studies and Contrasting Linguistics, the Department of Foreign Languages for the Faculties of Humanities and the Department of Foreign Languages for the Faculties of Natural Sciences, the Faculty of International Relations. As a result of the decisions of the Academic Council, at the end of the 20th century. Institute of Poland (existed in 1998–1999), Institute of European Integration (2000), Center for Italian Language and Culture (1997), Ukrainian-Austrian Center for Cooperation in Science, Education and Culture (1998), French Cultural Center and Center for Northern European Countries (1999) were opened at Lviv University. Thus, the 1990s were a period of significant structural transformation of Lviv University, driven by both educational and scientific needs and other factors, including the intensification of international activity. The most notable steps in this area have been to improve the work of the Department of International Relations; reorganizations related to the Faculty of Preparation for Foreign Citizens and the Faculty of Pre-University Training; establishment of the Faculty of International Relations; improvement of the structure of the Philological Faculty and the Faculty of Foreign Languages; establishment of specialized institutes and centers.

Full textAbstract:
Omashikwa, traditional fermented buttermilk processed by the Owambo and Herero communities from the North and Central Namibia has become very popular among the local consumers . However, its sensory quality fluctuates from one household to the next due to poor hygiene, sanitation and the non- standardized traditional processing technologies . The raw milk from indigenous cows is fermented traditionally in calabashes without the addition of known starter cultures. Milk in the calabash is then stored in a warm place in the house for two to three days to ferment. Once it is fermented, it is shaken or agitated in the calabash for hours to churn into butter. Butter granules are removed and either made into butter or boiled to make Ghee or butter oil known as Omazeothung’ombe by the Herero community and the remaining liquid is the fermented buttermilk or Omashikwa, Consumers of Omashikwa have been complaining about it s sensory quality fluctuations. T he Department of Food Science and Technology of the University of Namibia took the initiative of finding out its problems by subjecting it to sensory evaluation in order to improve its quality. The sensory properties of two samples of fermented buttermilk ( Omashikwa ) ; the traditional and laboratory processed Omashikwa were investigated by descriptive and consumer preference analyses for improvement . Eight trained panelists using a 5- point hedonic scale were used to investigate the descriptive sensory characteristics of Omashikwa , while 45 consumers familiar with Omashikwa , determined the preference product of their choice . The results for traditional Omashikwa (TO) were compared to the laboratory made Omashikwa (LO ). The descriptive attributes scores on the levels of syneresis 3.4 (2.9) , filth 3.0 (1.8) , rancidity 3.4 (1.8) and bitterness 4.2 (2.5) , and were significantly higher for traditional omashikwa than LO. Aroma 2.6 (4.2), viscosity 2.5 (3.8) and texture 2.7 (4.2) were lower in traditional Omashikwa and this may explain the 80% consumer preference compared to the laboratory made Omashikwa . The application of good manufacturing practices (GMPs) on unit operations , particularly filtration and heat treatment of milk prior to fermentation and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP ) contributed significantly to the improvement and perceived sensory characteristic differences that exist between the traditional and laboratory made Omashikwa.

Motivation is one of the most researched concepts in the different fields of education, and the field of language learning is certainly not an exception. In the present research, the objective is to examine the Motivational Intensity as being one of the Motivations components. Also, the research investigates the impact, if any, of the factor of age on the examined component. The research addressed the two following questions: To what extent the Yemeni undergraduate learners of the French language are motivated to learn French? Does age have any impact on the degree of motivation of the Yemeni undergraduate learners of French? To answer the researchs questions, a survey was conducted in the Department of French Language and Literature at Sanaa University. The survey was composed of 5 questions that were selected and modified from Gardners AMTB (Attitude, Motivation Test Battery Questionnaire, 1985). The results of the survey demonstrated a statistically high degree of motivational intensity among the Yemeni undergraduate learners of French in general. However, the younger Yemeni learners were more motivated than their older counterparts.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to comparatively examine features of tense, aspect and narrative structure in oral narratives of Turkish L1 learners of French as a foreign language and native speakers of French. The sample of the study included 93 students enrolling in first, second, third and fourth years of French Language Teaching Department at Çukurova University as well as 16 native speakers of French. Participants were first asked to watch French dubbed versions of Lion King and A Christmas Carol, both Walt Disney productions, then to orally retell these movies. Data were analyzed in terms of the aspect and discourse hypotheses. Results indicated that both students and native speakers of French highly structured their oral narratives by présent. Oral narratives with high use of présent indicate that students began to dispose of the effects of both narrative structure and inherent semantic properties of verbs. However, students did not have same levels of getting rid of the effects of narrative structure and lexical aspect. Namely, junior and senior students found to be more influenced by narrative structure and lexical aspect compared with freshman and sophomore ones.

Full textAbstract:
The history of triage started from the French battle field. In- hospital ED triage started in early 1960's from Baltimore. It is now an essential component of modern ED. Triage is not only to sort out patients as per their criticality, but it also serves the purpose of streamlining the patients so that the patient receives right treatment at the right time in the appropriate area. It helps to manage the ED overcrowding by better flow of patients. AKUH-ER experience of triage dates back to the year 2000, when triage was conducted by physicians and there used to be a manual documentation of patient's particulars such as complaints, vitals and BP. With the expansion of AKU-ED in 2008 responsibility of triage shifted to nursing services. Triage policy was drafted and implemented and for guidance and uniformity of care, triage protocols were developed. Another important development is replacement of register with triage data entry software. This help us to monitor some indicators like number of patients triaged, the time between triaging and actual bed assignment, triage categorization, length of stay, dispositions and return visits. The available information now helps us to make decisions based on evidence and also paves the way for future direction.

Full textAbstract:
The views of French physicians and nurses of the organization of palliative care have not been previously analyzed. We surveyed opinion on the care of the terminally ill in a 1000-bed Paris university hospital. Data were obtained in 1992 by non-directed interviews of leading physicians and semi-directed interviews of nurses. Most physicians wished to manage terminal care in their departments. Patient and family preferences were considered in choosing the place for care. Treatment of hospitalized patients should be limited to relieving symptoms. Department heads and senior nurses agreed on most problems encountered in the management of care. The psychological burden borne by nurses was emphasized. Terminal care training and the possibility of consulting experts in palliative care were the main suggestions for improvement cited by both department heads and senior nurses. Integrating this knowledge into the planning process should result in improved care and in increased satisfaction for the care providers.

Full textAbstract:
Ten new marianna root-stocks [Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. × P. munsoniana Wight & Hedr.(?)] derived from open pollination of `Marianna 2616' (M series) were planted in 1987 and evaluated at four commercial orchard locations in California (Tehama, Butte, Sutter, and Merced counties) with `Improved French' prune (P. domestica L.) as the scion. These rootstocks were compared to three standard rootstocks: `Marianna 2624', myrobalan seedling (P. cerasifera Ehrh.) and `Myrobalan 29C'. Leaf potassium (K) and nitrogen (N), tree growth, fruit production and fruit quality were measured. Selection M40 in particular had high leaf N, high leaf K (equal to `Marianna 2624' and better than the myrobalan standards), higher yield efficiency per tree, fruit size, drying characteristics, and few root suckers when compared to the three standard rootstocks. M40 is being considered for patent and release by the Pomology Department at the University of California, Davis. Selection M58 had the highest yield efficiency of any tested rootstock. Several selections had characteristics that would make expanded planting worth considering.

BackgroundAmbulatory surgery lowers hospitalisation costs, shortens the time to return to work but requires caution regarding socioenvironmental risk factors for complications and rehospitalisation.MethodsThis was a single-centre prospective cross-sectional observational study conducted in a university hospital centrein January 2017. The primary objective was to assess the rate of conversion from ambulatory surgery to conventional hospitalisation or emergency department visit within 30 days following discharge from ambulatory unit. Secondary objectives were to describe the socioenvironmental characteristics of outpatients and to identify risk factors for severe postoperative complications.Results598 outpatients were included. The most represented surgical specialties were ophthalmology (23.5%), gynaecology (19%) and orthopaedics (17.7%). Patients’ mean age was 50.8 years (SD, 19.8) and the male/female sex ratio was 0.68. There were 22 (3.68%, 95% CI 2.32% to 5.52%) severe complications, including 11 (1.84%, 95% CI 0.92% to 3.27%) conversions to conventional hospitalisation and 11 (1.84%) conversions to emergency department visit, 3 of which led to readmission. Regarding socioenvironmental characteristics, 116 outpatients (19.7%) lived alone but were not isolated and 15 (2.6%) lived alone and were socially isolated. Following ambulatory surgery, 9 outpatients (1.6%) returned home on foot, 20 (3.4%) by public transportation and 8 (1.4%) drove home; 133 outpatients (13.7%) were alone the first night following surgery. Severe complication rates were not significantly different according to socioenvironmental subgroups.ConclusionIn our study, the prevalence of severe complications was low, conforming to the literature. The study was underpowered to estimate the effect of socioenvironmental variables.

Full textAbstract:
France has not prohibited all forms of corporal punishment, and the point at which an act is regarded as physical abuse is not clearly determined. The aim of our study was to compare perception of a caregiver’s violent behavior toward his child by professionals and parents in an emergency department and determine characteristics associated with that perception. A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2013 to October 2014 in the emergency department of the pediatric university hospital in Bordeaux, France. An anonymous self-administered questionnaire, including vignettes describing hypothetical situations of violent interaction between a parent and child, and items related to sociodemographic and family characteristics, was administered to professionals and parents. Vignettes included varying child’s age and behavior, frequency of caregiver’s behavior, hitting with/without an object, and targeted child’s body part. Violent behavior was restricted to hitting for reasons of feasibility. Respondents were asked to rate the acceptability of situations on a 100-mm visual analog scale. Analyses were multivariate mixed Poisson regressions. A total of 1,001 participants assessed the vignettes. Participants were predominantly females (64%), married or living with a partner (87%), with a median age of 34 years. Professionals assessed vignettes as acceptable significantly more than parents (mean rating 2.8 times higher; p < .001). For both professionals and parents, all vignette characteristics were significantly associated with acceptability. Parents who had a child below 1 year old, those who had visited an emergency department many times in the past year, and those who had fewer children were less tolerant. Such findings indicate the need for additional research to better appreciate consequences and severity of violent behavior toward children, and the need to educate parents and professionals.

Aims: To assess the justification of indications and exposure doses to children during radiographics. Methods: Prospective study of 102 X-ray exams of children collected over a period of 6 months in the Department of Radiology of Kara Teaching Hospital. Objectives: To assess the rationale guidance and exposure doses to children when standard radiographic examinations. Methodology: prospective observational study of 102 standard radiographs (Rx) collected in the radiology department of the University Hospital of Kara on a 6 month period. Results: Male children were predominant with a sex ratio boy / girl of 1.3. The predominant age group was the 5 to 10 years. Chest X-rays were the most practiced exam, with 43%. According to the Guide of well practices of French Society of Radiology (SFR) and the French Society of Biophysics and Nuclear Medicine (SFBMN), 80% of exams were justified. The comparison of our results to diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) shows that 43% and 39% of standard X-rays had dosimetric values exceeds the RDLs respectively the entrance Dose (De) and Dose Surface Product (DSP). Conclusion:Our study reveals that compliance guidance assessments to the proper use of medical imaging examinations guide was not always effective but satisfactory. The study dosimetric constants showed that the dose to children exceeded in a large proportion of the French and Belgian DRLs.

This study identifies, classifies, and interprets the grammatical errors made by 30 second-year students at the English Department of Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (Senegal) in their grammar translation tests. The said students took a course on Grammar during the academic year 2018-2019. The exercises consist of translating some French sentences into English. The errors made by these participants can be classified into seven categories. There are errors in the use of tenses, auxiliaries, articles, relative adverbs. In addition, morphological and structural error types and other errors related to the choice of verbs (i.e., tell/say) have also been listed. The results show that the participants made both inter-lingual errors (due to the influence of French language) and intra-lingual errors (over generalization of rules, addition or omission of items, etc.).

The teaching of skin and venereal diseases as a compulsory subject at the medical faculty of the Kazan Imperial University began in 1872. Previously, this discipline was considered optional and its teaching was entrusted to obstetricians-gynecologists, surgeons and other specialists. The first head of the department was Alexander Genrikhovich Ge. He was born on October 26, 1842 in the family of a French language teacher at the 1st Kazan gymnasium. In 1865 he graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of Kazan University with the right to present a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Medicine. From the fall of 1866 A.G. Ge worked in the Kazan provincial zemstvo hospital, where he headed the women's syphilitic department. In 1868, Alexander Genrikhovich defended his thesis for the degree of Doctor of Medicine and in 1870 was sent abroad at the expense of the Ministry of Iarod Education for 2 years abroad to study skin and venereal diseases. During this time, he worked in the clinics of the largest dermatologists - Gebra, Siegmund and Zeisl, in the laboratories of Stricker and Brcke (in Vienna and Wrzburg).

Full textAbstract:
Rubigine® is an anti-rust stain remover containing fluorides which is believed to have been the cause of many deaths in Martinique. However, after the modification of its composition in 2006, serious poisoning from old formulas containing fluorides persisted. Our main objective was to determine the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of these intoxications. Methods: Any patient admitted to the Martinique University Hospital for acute Rubigine® poisoning was included from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2016. Usual demographic and clinical data were collected and comparisons between surviving and deceased patients made using a univariate analysis and logistic regression. Results: Fifty-five patients were included (mean age: 43 years; sex ratio M/F: 1.1), and the main clinical characteristics were: changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) (80%), digestive system disorders (75%), and neurological disorders (12%). The main features linked to death were the presence of hydrofluoric acid (p < 0.0001), age over 55 years (p = 0.01), hypocalcemia after the initial intravenous calcium supplementation (p = 0.0003), diarrhea (p < 0.0001), hypersialorrhea (p < 0.0001), myocardial excitability (p < 0.0001), and state of shock (p < 0.0001). Three patients required circulatory support by venous-arterial ECMO. Mortality was 10.9%. Conclusions: Rubigine® poisoning is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. Fortunately, its incidence as well as mortality has sharply decreased in Martinique thanks to the measures taken by the French state. This retrospective work nevertheless shows that acute intoxication by the old formula of Rubigine® remains the main factor of poor prognosis.

RÉSUMÉ. L’objectif principal de cet article n’est pas d’insister sur l’importance d’introduire la dimension culturelle dans l’enseignement du Français Langue Étrangère (FLE). Or, ceci n’est certainement pas une idée innovatrice de notre part, mais l’intérêt de cet article est de souligner et de suggérer un aspect culturel possible qui pourrait, tout en étant intéressant et enrichissant, aider nos apprenants à acquérir un savoir-faire interprétatif socio-culturel. Une recherche-enquête sur terrain était menée au sein du Département de Langue Française à l’université de Sana’a afin de répondre aux questions suivantes: Comment peut-on développer chez nos apprenants un savoir-faire interprétatif à travers la découverte des « Expressions imagées » françaises? Quelle est la démarche méthodologique la plus adéquate à adopter compte tenu du niveau de ces apprenants et des moyens fournis par l’université? Les résultats de cette recherche-enquête ont démontré un énorme intérêt chez les apprenants yéménites pour un apprentissage linguistico-culturel du français. Mots-clés : Compétence Communicative, Culture/ Culture de l’Autre, Didactique du FLE, Expressions Imagées, Savoir-faire Interprétatif. ABSTRACT. The main purpose of this paper is not to lay emphasis on the importance of introducing the cultural dimension into the teaching of French as a Foreign Language (FFL), which is certainly not an innovative idea on our part. However, the objective of this paper is to highlight and to suggest a possible cultural aspect that could, while interesting and enriching, help learners to acquire an interpretative socio-cultural competence. A case study research was conducted in the Department of French at Sana’a University to address the following questions: How can we, through the discovery of French "Figurative expressions", develop in our learners of French an interpretative socio-cultural competence? What is the most appropriate methodology to adopt with our learners taking in consideration their language level and the resources provided by the university? The results of this research have shown a great interest among Yemeni learners for a dual learning (linguistic-cultural) of French. Keywords: Communicative Competence, Culture/ Culture of the « Other », Didactic of FFL, Figurative Expressions, Interpretative Competence.

Full textAbstract:
Growing use of information technology and communication (ICT) tools in language courses with communication at their core has brought opportunities as well as challenges in the predominantly conventional face-to-face context of the classroom. When the French programme in the Department of Linguistics and Modern Languages at The Chinese University of Hong Kong started to integrate an e-learning platform into all language courses, students as well as teachers showed reservations and even disbelief. However, it was unexpected to observe such an interdependent relationship between new technologies and the conventional teaching approach. In this paper, the broad implications of the e-adoption applied to learning French as a foreign language are investigated to highlight students’ learning habits and learning process. The strategies used to make technology act as a facilitator across cultures, and various ways to savoir-faire diffusion are also discussed. The study shows how new technologies modify in-class teaching, while the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning approach can influence choices in the use of different web tools that lead to blended models of education.

Unlike Avignon, still active after more than forty years, the once notorious Nancy Festival has slipped unobtrusively into history. David Looseley sets out here to trace this itinerary. After reviewing the festival's origins and its importance for the experimental theatre of the 1960s, he examines what became of it in the bleaker decades which followed, and assesses the meaning of its decline. David Looseley, who teaches in the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Bradford, is currently engaged in research funded by the Leverhulme Trust into the politics of culture in contemporary France. His published work includes a book on the theatre of the twentieth-century French dramatist Armand Salacrou.
