“French Teachers Can Figure It Out”: Understanding French as a Second Language (FSL) Teachers’ Work in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2022
In 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced teachers in Ontario to move online. Since then, teaching online or in hybrid models has been common across the province. To understand how French as a Second Language (FSL) teachers navigated these spaces, four Ontario French teachers were interviewed about their experience using educational ...

French as a Second Language (FSL) Storytimes: Fostering Language, Literacy and Lifelong Love of Reading

Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research, 2012
Canada is a unique country with two official languages. While the majority of Canadian children are brought up in the Anglophone school system, they are still taught French at school in the form of core French classes, French immersion, or extended French programs.

Memory Performance in Adolescents Living With Obesity: Brain Activation During Encoding and Retrieval in a Case-Control Study. [PDF]

Obes Sci Pract
ABSTRACT Objective Effects of obesity on brain health have been revealed in adults, including mental health effects and cognitive impairment. Regarding cognition, obesity‐related memory impairment has been specifically described. While this effect could have a major impact on learning abilities during adolescence, few studies have considered this ...

Picture naming: Stereoelectroencephalography and connectivity insights. [PDF]

Epilepsia
Abstract Objective This study investigates the neural substrates of picture naming (PN) using stereoelectroencephalographic (SEEG) stimulations and evaluates the contribution of white matter (WM) fascicles related to the basal temporal language area (BTLA) to the broader functional PN network.

Functional Connectivity Fingerprints of Emerging Reading Skill in the First Months of Schooling. [PDF]

Dev Sci
ABSTRACT The transition from pre‐reading to early word reading skill in early childhood is a time of profound developmental change. To understand changes in brain networks associated with reading development, this study examined individual differences in functional connectivity for reading at the start of formal literacy instruction.

Whole‐Brain Diffusion MRI at 7T With Universal Multiband GRAPE pTx Pulses

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Purpose To improve signal strength and homogeneity of whole‐brain diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) at 7T. Methods Universal multiband excitation and refocusing pulses were optimized with the gradient ascent pulse engineering (GRAPE) algorithm across a database of B1+$$ {B}_1^{+} $$ and B0$$ {B}_0 $$ maps obtained from 20 subjects.

Diving Into Language Teacher Beliefs: Experience and Contexts in Plurilingual Classrooms

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the pedagogical beliefs of French and English language teachers in a diverse, plurilingual context. Drawing on data from 57 pre‐service and in‐service teachers, it examines how beliefs vary according to teaching experience and target language (TL) taught in diverse educational settings.

Functional Assessment of Platelet‐Derived Phospholipid Activity in Pooled Normal Plasmas by Low‐Phospholipid Thrombin Generation Assay and Its Impact on Lupus Anticoagulant Mixing Tests

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pooled normal plasma (PNP) used for lupus anticoagulant (LA) mixing tests may carry platelet‐derived phospholipid (PL) activity introduced during freezing/lyophilization, potentially attenuating LA‐mediated prolongation of clotting times.

Multi‐Contrast Human Brain CEST MRI at 11.7 T: First In Vivo Demonstration

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2188-2200, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To implement and evaluate chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) at ultra‐high field on a whole‐body 11.7 T scanner using parallel transmission (pTx). Methods Tailored pTx CEST saturation pulses were optimized to achieve a spatially uniform target B1+ while satisfying SAR and power constraints either defined by conservatively ...

Refining the Simulation of Mixed‐Phase Clouds Over Coastal Antarctica With a Tailored Ice Nucleating Particle Parameterization

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Climate models have substantial biases in downwelling shortwave radiation over the Southern Ocean (SO) and Antarctica, primarily due to their inability to accurately represent the frequent occurrence of low‐level mixed‐phase clouds. Building on the evaluation of the Unified Model (UM) Regional Atmosphere and Land version 3 (RAL3), this study ...
