No full textLa préhistoire d'Uvea (Wallis). Chronologie et périodisation
No full textThis paper presents some results of research carried out on Uvea (Wallis) by a French team (CNRS/IRD) during the last few years. An extensive survey of archaeological and ethnohistorical sites was followed by focused archaeological excavations. Restoration of some surface monuments was also conducted. This fieldwork led to the establishment of the chronology and the sequencing of Uvean prehistory in four periods : Utuleve (I and II), Atuvalu, fortress and dynastic. This paper shows how these four periods can fit into a more general pattern of cultural differentiations observed in the neighbouring islands of Western Polynesia. Tonga seems to be the main source of Uvean culture, and this paper tries to estimate the importance of that Tongan influence in Uvea, its origins and the span of time during which the Tongans were in Uvea. This paper also offers a contribution to the puzzling problem of the abandonment of ceramics in Uvea and in Western Polynesia.Cet article présente plusieurs années de recherches à Uvea (Wallis), menées par une équipe CNRS/IRD (ex ORSTOM). Les travaux ont débuté par une campagne d'inventaire des sites archéologiques et ethnohistoriques, suivie par des fouilles archéologiques et la restauration de certains monuments de surface. Ils ont permis, notamment, d'élaborer la chronologie et la périodisation de la préhistoire d' Uvea. Quatre périodes sont proposées et décrites : Utuleve (I et II), Atuvalu, les forts et les dynasties. Cet article fait apparaître comment ces quatre périodes pourraient s'inscrire dans un modèle plus vaste propre à décrire les processus de différenciations culturelles observées dans l'ensemble des îles de Polynésie occidentale. D'autre part, l'histoire d'Uvea a été fortement marquée par la présence des Tongiens, et cet article tente d'en préciser l'importance et les limites dans le temps. Enfin, il apporte une contribution à l'épineux problème de l'abandon de la céramique à Uvea et en Polynésie occidentale.Frimigacci Daniel. La préhistoire d'Uvea (Wallis).

Nivel de Uso de Gmail en los estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión – Filial Yanahuanca, según Género y Programa de Estudios, 2023
No full textEn el presente estudio, se investigó el nivel de uso del correo electrónico Gmail entre los estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión - Filial Yanahuanca durante el año 2023, enfocándose en cómo este uso difiere según el género y los programas de estudio. El objetivo fue determinar si existían diferencias significativas en el uso de Gmail que pudieran influir en las estrategias educativas y la integración de tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. La metodología adoptada fue cuantitativa, con un diseño no experimental de corte transversal. La muestra incluyó estudiantes de los programas de Educación Primaria, Tecnología Informática y Telecomunicaciones, y Agronomía. Los datos se recopilaron a través de cuestionarios diseñados para evaluar el nivel de uso del correo electrónico, y se analizaron utilizando la prueba H de Kruskal-Wallis para comparaciones entre grupos. Los resultados indicaron una variación significativa en el uso de Gmail entre los programas de estudio (p0.05), lo que sugiere una equidad en el acceso y manejo de esta herramienta entre estudiantes masculinos y femeninos. Los hallazgos subrayan la importancia de integrar de manera efectiva las TIC en todos los programas de estudio y destacan la necesidad de promover competencias digitales equitativas entre todos los estudiantes. La investigación concluye que, mientras que el uso de Gmail varía significativamente entre diferentes áreas de estudio, la equidad de género en su uso es una realidad en el contexto educativo de la universidad.Tesi

John Wallis (1616–1703)
No full textSummary
Three centuries after its publication, John Wallis’ Grammatica Linguae An-glicanae (1653) is still worth the attention of the readers interested in the study of English. Considered within the context of its day, it appears as a significant contribution to the field, and indeed a work which constitutes a landmark in the history of the study of English. Its author, a remarkable mathematician looked upon as one of the most important precursors of Newton, succeeded in handling facts of the English language (both phonetics and grammar) better than any of his predecessors. His work, which illustrates the empirical approach, is important through the degree of independence attained in it from the Latin model which, at that time, still exerted a strong influence on attempts at describing the European vernaculars. In the advent of comparative linguistics in the 19th century Wallis’ grammar fell into disgrace. Even in our time scholars often repeat, with little justification, earlier criticisms of Grammatica Linguae Anglicanae – thus suggesting that Wallis’ contribution to the study of English has not always been examined in terms of the advances it represented when it was first published more than three centuries ago. When mapping out the development of linguistics in a historiography of our discipline there are two aspects in which Wallis’ grammar of English deserves special mention: when tracing the evolution of articulatory phonetics and when examining the roots of modern structural descriptivism.</jats:p
Des limites de l'insularité. Le cas de Wallis (Polynésie) (About the notion of insularity. The case of Wallis French Polynesia)
No full textAbstract. - The author shows the economic dependancy of the island of Wallis and the necessity of emigration. The continued growth of the wallisian population forbids return migrations, because home production is still too low. The author thinks that the main reason of this situation is the underdevelopment, and not the insularity.Résumé. - L'auteur montre le dépendance économique de l'île, et la nécessité de l'émigration (successivement vers les Nouvelles Hébrides et la Nouvelle Calédonie). La persistance de la croissance démographique dans l'île interdit le retour des émigrés, du fait de la faiblesse des ressources. Pour l'auteur le sous-développement compte plus dans cette situation que l'insularité.Saussol Alain. Des limites de l'insularité. Le cas de Wallis (Polynésie) (About the notion of insularity.

Mieczysław Wallis – a Historian of Art or a Philosopher?
No full textThe paper presents a scientific profile of Mieczysław Wallis in the perspective of the question of his intellectual status. The author looks for the answer within two areas that were the subject of Wallis’ interest: philosophy and history of art. She analyses the path of Wallis’ intellectual development and the formation of his creative interests: from his education (in Heidelberg and Warsaw) and inspirations, through his first intellectual concerns, to an analysis of his scientific output. In his youth, Wallis wrote about the desire to create a philosophical system. Did this aspiration determine his scientific work, and to what extent? Did it set the course of his intellectual path? Was Wallis’ profile dichotomous in nature? For, as a philosopher, Wallis asked himself a fundamental question about the phenomenon of human being and its relation to the world. As a historian of art, he sought the answer by analyzing the world of man’s creative activity, his aesthetic experiences and artistic creations. Thus, on the one hand, the author emphasizes the role of philosophy in the development of Wallis’ intellectual views; on the other hand, she points to the philosophical depth of his achievements in the field of art theory
