Le rôle de la culture dans l'intégration des immigrants russophones en Estrie

Notre mémoire s’articule principalement autour des sujets suivants : intégration des immigrants, médiation culturelle, culture et surtout la culture russe dans le contexte de l’immigration. Plus spécifiquement, notre recherche porte sur le rôle de la culture dans l’intégration des immigrants russophones en Estrie. Étudier le cas des immigrants russophones à Sherbrooke nous semble très intéressant car, au premier regard, la communauté russophone de Sherbrooke semble répondre à la fois aux objectifs de la politique de la régionalisation du Québec et aux objectifs des immigrants (intégration socio-économique et culturelle dans la société d’accueil, visibilité, transmission culturelle). Alors quels sens les immigrants russophones donnent-ils à leur culture et quel rôle celle-ci joue-t-elle dans leur intégration en Estrie? Les témoignages de quinze immigrants russophones ont été recueillis au moyen d’entrevues individuelles et cinq observations directes ont été faites au cours des activités organisées par la communauté de la langue russe de Sherbrooke. Les données ont été analysées selon une méthode qualitative. La théorie de la gestion de l’anxiété/incertitude de l’ajustement interculturel et d’autres études dans le domaine de la communication interculturelle ont servi de base théorique pour notre recherche. Les immigrants russophones conçoivent l’intégration réussie en termes de santé psychologique et de satisfaction générale avec la culture d’adoption (intégration psychologique), ainsi qu’en termes d’interactions efficaces avec les membres de la société hôte (intégration socioculturelle). La culture d’origine est ritualisée et favorise une attitude nostalgique. Les activités organisées par la communauté de la langue russe de l’Estrie permettent aux russophones de partager la nostalgie de leurs pays d’origine (Russie, Ukraine, Biélorussie et Kazakhstan) en tant qu’étape de l’intégration. En outre, ces activités constituent un appui informatif et psychologique pour les immigrants russophones. Finalement, l’organisation des événements ouverts aux Québécois aide à briser les stéréotypes et contribue indirectement à l’intégration

THE USE OF AUTHENTIC VIDEOS IN TEACHING RUSSIAN CONVERSATION OUTSIDE THE LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT

The use of authentic films offers great opportunities for developing the range of skills and abilities required in all aspects of speech activity. This type of activity is particularly important for students who study Russian outside the language environment. This article examines the criteria for selecting video films as linguo-didactic material, which can be used in teaching foreign higher education students with advanced language skills based on modern methodological principles, i.e. communicative approaches and linguo-cultural information about the studied country, as well as increasing personal motivation among students for learning. Analyzing the results of a trial survey conducted among foreign students, as well as identifying the linguistic and extra-linguistic features of selected films, the authors suggest ways to use video with the help of new technologies.

Regulation of the Duration of Spawning Cycles of Catfish in Industrial Aquaculture

This article is devoted to the study of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the African Catfish Clarias gariepinus eggs produced at different durations of the inter-spawning interval. Eggs were produced artificially using sex hormones. In industrial aquaculture, the African Catfish Clarias gariepinus does not reproduce naturally. Therefore, the problem of obtaining high-quality eggs that will be used for in-vitro fertilization is urgent. To implement artificial spawning of fish in industrial aquaculture, it is necessary to correctly choose the effective hormonal stimulator and empirically select its dose. Sex hormones are involved in regulating the duration of the inter-spawning interval and affect the quality of eggs produced both for fertilization and for food purposes. The pituitary gland of the African Catfish Clarias gariepinus and surfagon were used as gametogenesis stimulators. The aim of the work was to study the optimal duration of the inter-spawning interval and the effect of hormonal inducers used to stimulate artificial spawning in industrial aquaculture. The use of the catfish pituitary gland in fresh or acetonated form as a hormonal stimulator provided higher-quality eggs, compared to the synthetic hormonal drug - surfagon. Stimulation with acetonated pituitary injections reduced the inter-spawning interval of the African Catfish Clarias gariepinus to three months, and the use of surfagon prolonged the inter-spawning interval to four months. Reducing the duration of the inter-spawning interval is important for the production of the African Catfish Clarias gariepinus eggs for food purposes. Studies have shown that reducing the optimal duration of the inter-spawning interval negatively affects the quality of the produced eggs and their quantity. This research was financially supported by a grant from the Russian Foundation for Fundamental Research, project No. 18-016-00127. Keywords: aquaculture, African Catfish Clarias gariepinus, eggs, inter-spawning period, sex hormones, oocyte

A numerical analysis of formation of the surface relief: A single inclusion model

The influence of the material inhomogeneity on free surface roughening under uniaxial loading is simulated numerically in the framework of the mechanics of heterogeneous media, using a model of a single cubic inclusion embedded in a matrix as an example. Mechanical problems in 2D and 3D formulations are solved numerically by the finite-difference and finite-element methods. The stress-strain state responsible for the free surface roughening is examined. The effects of the inclusion orientation and location relative to the free surface and inclusion-to-matrix elastic modulus ratio on the surface relief characteristics are discussed

Determinantes sociais e psicológicos de estados depressivos em estudantes do segundo grau

The purpose of the study is to determine how the demand for self-actualization, level of development, and satisfaction, combined with the degree of social isolation of adolescents, affects their risk of depression. A total of 600 adolescents aged 15-16 were surveyed (random sample, 320 girls and 280 boys). A high level of positive correlation was revealed between the indicators of self-esteem of social isolation of adolescents and the severity of their depressive states, as well as a negative correlation of depressive states with indicators of the level of their self-actualization. The study showed that social exclusion can be both a cause and a consequence of various depressive states. This study confirmed the importance of examining the tendency of adolescents to show depression, and it is essential to take into account even low levels of depression.El propósito del estudio es determinar cómo la demanda de autorrealización, el nivel de desarrollo y satisfacción, combinado con el grado de aislamiento social de los adolescentes, afecta su riesgo de depresión.

Pollen quality and pollen productivity of blue honeysuckle species and varieties

Studies to assess the pollen quality and pollen productivity of blue honeysuckle were conducted on the ecosystem dendrological territory of the Siberian Botanical garden of TSU (Tomsk). Objects of research: 8 varieties and 4 species of blue honeysuckle – ‘Velvet’, ‘Berel’, ‘Vasyuganskaya’, ‘Zolushka’, ‘Lazurnaya’, ‘Ogneny Opal’, ‘Selena’, ‘Tomichka’, Lonicera altaica, L. edulis, L. kamtschatica, L. turczaninovii. It was found that the ‘Ogneny Opal’ and ‘Velvet’ varieties have low fertility, and the ‘Berel’ and L. edulis have an average fertility. Other varieties and species of honeysuckle have high pollen fertility. The viability of pollen with high values is more than 60 % – ‘Berel’, ‘Vasyuganskaya’, ‘Lazurnaya’, L. turczaninovii, L. kamtschatica, with average values from 40% to 60 % – ‘Selena’, ‘Tomichka’ and L. altaica, with low values – less than 40 % – ‘Velvet’, ‘Zolushka’, ‘Ogneny Opal’ and L. edulis. High pollen productivity – more than 20,000 pollen grains per flower – ‘Tomichka’, L. kamtschatica, L. turczaninovii and L. edulis, average productivity - from 10,000 to 20,000 pollen grains – ‘Berel’, ‘Vasyuganskaya’, ‘Zolushka’, ‘Lazurnaya’, ‘Selena’ and L. altaica, low productivity – less than 10,000 pollen grains per flower – ‘Velvet’, ‘Ogneny Opal’. It is recommended to use at least 10% of varieties with high pollen viability and pollen productivity as pollinators when creating industrial honeysuckle plantations: ‘Lazurnaya’, ‘Vasyuganskaya’, and ‘Berel’
