Caprine livestock are significant reservoirs of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), contributing to tuberculosis (TB) transmission among animals and humans. The P22 protein immunocomplex (P22PI), derived from bovine tuberculin, shows immunostimulating capacity and is used for TB diagnosis. This study assessed the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of P22PI in two groups of goats: 24 naïve goats (12 immunised, 12 controls) from a TB-free herd, and 24 infected goats (12 immunised, 12 controls), referred to as pre-infected animals, from a M. bovis-infected herd. Both were exposed for 5 months to M. bovis-naturally infected goats. Reactors to single and comparative intradermal tuberculin (SIT and SCIT, respectively) tests and interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) significantly increased (p

- Abstract
This book responds to a growing body of work in sociolinguistics and applied linguistics that places an emphasis on situated descriptions of language education practices and illuminates how these descriptions are enmeshed with local, institutional and wider social forces. It engages with new ways of understanding language that expand its meaning by including other semiotic resources and meaning-making practices and bring to the fore its messiness and unpredictability. The chapters illustrate how a translingual and transcultural orientation to language and language pedagogy can provide a point of entry to reimagining what language education might look like under conditions of heightened linguistic and cultural diversity and increased linguistic and social inequalities. The book unites an international group of contributors, presenting state-of-the-art empirical studies drawing on a wide range of local contexts and spaces, from linguistically and culturally heterogeneous mainstream and HE classrooms to complementary (community) school and informal language learning contexts.

4. Lived Languages: Ordinary Collections and Multilingual Repertoires
- Author

Ros i Solé, Cristina
- Abstract
Until recently, the role of material culture in language has been little studied or seen as the context where language use is situated (Aronin et al., 2018). This article looks at the materiality of language in a new light by arguing that everyday objects such as kitchen utensils and wardrobes can be seen as deliberate and conscious collections that are entangled with speakers' multilingual repertoires, subjectivities and embodied agencies. Clothes stored away in one's wardrobe, or ordinary kitchen utensils reveal themselves as the site where multilinguals' complex biographies and 'jigsaw repertoires' (Blommaert & Backus, 2013) can be traced and made sense of. Such a view of language sees the construction of subjectivities as both situated and relational. Situated because subjectivities are firmly anchored in embodied chronotopic continuums (Busch, 2017), relational because they align to a post-human approach to subjectivity (Pennycook, 2018) that conceives it as the confederation of different types of human and post-human agencies. Drawing on a study of 6 personal collections of ordinary objects, this paper investigates to what extent personal collections can be read as a 'laboratory' for multilingual practices, where multilingual agencies are played out in relation to time-space coordinates and the materiality of the self.

- Abstract
Whilst narratives of multilingualism tend to focus on the objective of language, as separate from the people speaking them and their stories, this study aimed at investigating a ‘deviant’ story. One that delves into the personal aspects of the multilingual subject experience. This emphasis on the personal and the contingent allows me to connect with the affective in my multilingual experience in a way that is rare in more traditional ethnographical accounts. By reflecting on the materiality of my own arts-practice project I am able to access my subjectivity and a range of subtle layers evoked and uncovered by a different way into language. In focusing on the subjective experience, the use of autoethnography allows me to concentrate not only on the emotive and the experimental, but also on the biographical. In this way, my life was not seen as frozen in time, a snap-shot, but rather, as incomplete and as life-in-progress.

ComputingMilieux_COMPUTERSANDEDUCATION - Abstract
This book has brought home the idea that language education is about listening. Listening to what happens on the ground: the work of language teachers, educators and literacy specialists, and the connections that are made in between. It aligns with ways of doing that move away from ideal, disembodied and abstract processes that are applied top-down. In doing this, it has shown that language education finds its temporary shapes and contours by identifying with particular localities, inhabiting particular practices, and connecting with the different voices and relationships taking part in it.

33. Cosmopolitan Speakers and Their Cultural Cartographies
- Author
-
Ros i Solé, Cristina
- Abstract
Language learners' increased mobility and the ubiquity of virtual intercultural encounters has challenged traditional ideas of "cultures". Moreover, representations of cultures as consumable life-choices has meant that learners are no longer locked into standard and static cultural identities. Language learners are better defined as cosmopolitan individuals with subjective and complex socio-political and historical identities. Such models push the boundaries of current concepts in language pedagogy to new understandings of who the language learner is and a refashioning of the cultural maps they inhabit. This article presents a model for cultural understanding that draws on the theoretical framework of Beck's Cosmopolitan Vision and its related concepts of "Banal Cosmopolitanism" and "Cosmopolitan Empathy". Narrative accounts are used to illustrate the experience of a group of students of Arabic and Serbian/Croatian and their use of the cultural resources at their disposal to construct their own subjective cosmopolitan life-worlds. Through the analysis of learners' everyday cultural practices inside and outside the educational environment, the scope of the intercultural experience is revisited and a new paradigm for the language learner is presented. The Cosmopolitan Speaker (CS) described in this article is a subject who adopts a "flâneur"-like disposition to reflect on and scrutinise the target culture. Armed with this highly personal interpretation of reality, CSs will be able to take part in their own cultural trajectories and imagine and "figure" their own cartography of the world.

34. A Social and Self-Reflective Approach to MALL
- Author

Ros i Sole, Cristina, Calic, Jelena, and Neijmann, Daisy
- Abstract
There is a growing recognition that learning is increasingly taking place on the move and located beyond educational environments, "in the gaps of daily life" (Sharples et al., 2007). And yet, language learners have mostly been perceived as being fixed in particular contexts, whether in the educational environment, abroad, or in their homes and communities. As several authors have pointed out (Castells et al., 2007; Okabe & Ito, 2006; Sharples et al., 2007), mobile devices allow learners to capitalize on the multiple sites that they travel through, whether they be public or private spaces, formal or informal ones, and reflect on their social practices and their learner selves. This paper investigates whether such a context-sensitive and social-oriented approach to Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) can be applied to the language learning context and how it is manifested. In order to carry out this investigation, we will be drawing on literature on the development of identity in second language learning (Norton, 2000; Kramsch, 2006; Phipps, 2007) and the use of ethnographic approaches to data collection and interpretation. We will be reporting on two case studies, involving learners of Icelandic and Serbian/Croatian, conducted over two years at a UK university. The paper concludes that the use of mobile technology enables language learners to use these devices as "a prosthesis of the self" (Kress & Pachler, 2007) which allows them to explore the perception of their L2 selves in a variety of day-to-day scenarios.

Hopkins, Joseph, Gibson, Will, and Ros i. Sole, Cristina
- Abstract
This paper reviews research on learner and tutor interaction in asynchronous computer-mediated (ACM) conferences used in distance learning. The authors note claims made for the potential of ACM conferences to promote higher-order critical inquiry and the social construction of knowledge, and argue that there is a general lack of evidence regarding the actual achievement of these aims in such conferences. We present and discuss the relevant research literature currently available on the effects of social presence, the tutor's teaching and moderating strategies, and task type. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research in each of these areas. (Contains 4 tables.)

37. Contrasting Two Approaches to Distance Language Learning
- Author
-
Ros i Sole, Cristina and Hopkins, Joseph
- Abstract
In this article we contrast two distance foreign language programs developed at two European institutions of higher education (the Modern Languages Program at the Open University, UK; and the English Program at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Spain) as instances of two pedagogical models used to address the many challenges posed by teaching languages at a distance. A detailed analysis of both approaches reveals that the pedagogical choices made by both universities are in great measure determined by the historical and cultural contexts in which both institutions are embedded. In addition, we discuss the similarities and differences between the two and draw several conclusions regarding the appropriateness of the two distance universities' general educational, administrative, and technological models for distance language learning. (Contains 4 figures, 3 tables and 2 notes.)

38. Language Learners' Sociocultural Positions in the L2: A Narrative Approach
- Author
-
Ros i Sole, Cristina
- Abstract
This paper investigates language learners' negotiation of their social selves in the target language community of practice from a narrative perspective. In order to do this, I draw from post-structuralist and sociocultural approaches to language learning and L2 identity (e.g. Belz, 2002; Kinginger, 2004; Norton, 1997, 2000; Pavlenko, 2002, 2003) which assume that learners do not communicate in a social vacuum but acquire new roles, positions and vantage points from which they negotiate their L2 selves. More specifically, I argue the need for investigating language learners' negotiations of legitimacy and agency in the L2 (Kramsch, 2003; Lantolf & Pavlenko, 2000) within a narrative perspective. As language learning and use occur socially, language learners need to be studied as negotiators in the relations of power that are established when entering into contact with the L2. Acquiring "audibility" (Miller, 2004), the "right to speech" (Bourdieu, 1977) and acquiring new positions in the L2 (Davies & Harre, 1990; Kramsch, 2003) are some of the issues that the L2 user faces when interacting in the target community of practice. The methodological framework put forward is exemplified through the study of several language learners' anecdotes extracted from a corpus of 20 learner interviews. (Contains 1 table.)

39. Feedback in Distance Learning Programmes in Languages: Attitudes to Linguistic Faults and Implications for the Learning Process
- Author

Ros i Sole, Cristina and Truman, Mike
- Abstract
In distance learning provision in languages, fault correction and feedback can facilitate teacher?student dialogue. This article examines teachers' beliefs and assumptions about faults and the attitudes of both teachers and learners towards the correction process, all of which can play a key role in fostering this dialogue. Our findings are based on two surveys, one of 215 students enrolled on an intermediate Open University Spanish course and one of a sample of 18 tutors who teach on this course. The results of the two questionnaires suggest that the strategies currently in use for identifying and correcting faults may not be explicit enough. We conclude that this problem may be addressed if both tutors and students are given the tools to make the process more transparent and are encouraged to see dialogue as an essential component in the feedback mechanism.

40. Trayectorias: A New Model for Online Task-Based Learning
- Author
-
Ros i Sole, Cristina and Mardomingo, Raquel
- Abstract
This paper discusses a framework for designing online tasks that capitalizes on the possibilities that the Internet and the Web offer for language learning. To present such a framework, we draw from constructivist theories (Brooks and Brooks, 1993) and their application to educational technology (Newby, Stepich, Lehman and Russell, 1996; Jonassen, Mayes and McAleese, 1993); second language learning and learning autonomy (Benson and Voller, 1997); and distance education (Race, 1989; White, 1999). On the one hand our model balances the requirements of the need for control and learning autonomy by the independent language learner; and on the other, the possibilities that online task-based learning offer for new reading processes by taking into account new literacy models (Schetzer and Warschauer, 2000), and the effect that the new media have on students' knowledge construction and understanding of texts. We explain how this model works in the design of reading tasks within the specific distance learning context of the Open University, UK. Trayectorias is a tool that consists of an open problem-solving Web-quest and provides students with "scaffolding" that guides their navigation around the Web whilst modelling learning approaches and new learning paradigms triggered by the medium. We then discuss a small-scale trial with a cohort of students (n = 23). This trial had a double purpose: (a) to evaluate to what extent the writing task fulfilled the investigators' intentions; and (b) to obtain some information about the students' perceptions of the task.

42. Culture for Beginners: A Subjective and Realistic Approach for Adult Language Learners
- Author
-
Sole, Cristina Ros i.
- Abstract
This paper analyses how cultural understanding of the target culture can be addressed at beginners' level. To do this, I will discuss how some theoretical and pedagogical principles from Intercultural Learning, Cultural Studies and Second Language Acquisition throw light on the teaching of culture at the outset of foreign language learning. While it is widely recognised that culture and language occur in tandem, there is a dearth of examples of how reflection about the target culture can be introduced in the adult beginners' language learning context. In this paper I will argue that the notion of culture as a negotiable entity can be introduced at the outset of language learning. The role of cultural identity and subjectivity in texts are the two key concepts on which this argument will be built. I will then describe how these ideas can be transferred to three different aspects of language teaching methodology: the need to portray heterogeneous national cultures and other markers of cultural identity, objectivity vs. subjectivity in texts, and the creation of fictional personal testimonies to experience the target culture. In order to illustrate these points, examples from two beginners' Spanish course books will be provided. (Contains 4 figures.)

45. Film-making as creative praxis: capturing the intimate side of interculturality
- Author
-
Rifeser, Judith and Ros i Sole, Cristina
- Abstract
This article uses the use of creative film-making to explore the doing of the intimate and personal aspects of the intercultural encounter. By focusing the investigation of the intercultural encounter through and with the film-making as artistic practice rather than as an objective document, it seeks to offer an alternative paradigm for the use of visual methods for ethnographic and auto-ethnographic research. It draws on a phenomenological and auto-ethnographic film perspective to move beyond an ocularcentric focus and towards an embodied methodology by seeing the film as body (Sobchack, 1992) and using the concept of ‘haptic visuality’ (Marks, 2002) to explore the lived, subjective experience through film-making praxis via the example of three short films, namely A Letter Of Love To You (Rifeser, UK, 2016) Care|ss (Rifeser, UK, 2017) and Totsch (Rifeser, UK, 2018) which all form part of the wider work A caressing dialogical encounter (Rifeser, UK, 2019). By using creative film-making praxis as methodological tool, or what could be called “pensive-creative praxis” (Rifeser, 2020a), a parallel can be established with an understanding of the intercultural encounter in its all its multi-dimensional complexity: a vibrant, multi-layered and textured way of making sense of our cultures (Ros i Solé, 2022).

- Abstract
El present article valora exactament l’evolució que hi ha hagut, en aquest període de temps, en els tres camps clau per al desenvolupament d’un mercat central: l’oferta (nombre d’operadors), la demanda (tipologia de compradors) i el producte (procedència). I ho fa, per fer-ho més entenedor, a través de tres quadres que, de forma esglaonada en el temps, deixen constància de com s’han produït aquests canvis en el marc d’una plataforma privilegiada on coincideixen habitualment els compradors i els venedors de producte fresc. La concentració empresarial del sector majorista i la seva adequació a tots els perfils de compradors creiem que responen a la baula necessària per aquest sector agroalimentari. I s’explica el perquè dels canvis a través del paper del gran protagonisme de tots ells, que no és altre que el consumidor. La seva quotidiana compra de producte fresc marca el que es ven i el que no, on es fa i on no, perquè les seves preferències van decantant productes i orígens que es venen i establiments, que acaben obrint més punts de venda o, al contrari, els acaben tancant.La implacable llei de l’oferta i la demanda agafa tota la seva força en la relació entre el productor/majorista/detallista i el consumidor. El consumidor penalitza i/o premia el producte venut en la botiga més adequada. Fins i tot l’anàlisi de totes aquestes dades podria ser, de ben segur, duta a terme per sociòlegs que hi trobarien explicacions de molt d’interès. Cinquanta anys és un bon període per seure i repassar aquesta petita part de la història d’aquest sector per qui ha estat en un lloc privilegiat i vol aportar en aquest escrit tot el que ha après, amb la màxima transparència en totes les xifres i els comentaris expressats., This paper looks at the evolution which has taken place over the last fifty years in three fields of key importance for the development of a central market: the supply (the number of operators), the demand (the typology of buyers), and products (their origin). In order to enhance the understanding of these aspects, they are presented in three tables which highlight exactly how the respective changes have occurred over time within the framework of the market, an important facility where buyers and sellers meet to deal in fresh food products. We consider that the concentration of the wholesale sector in this facility and the suitable adaptation of its operators to all profiles of buyers form an essential link in the circuit of our agri-food industry. Likewise, we explain the changes which have come about on the basis of the outstanding role played by consumers. Indeed, the daily purchase of fresh products by consumers determines what is and what is not sold, as well as where the products are and are not produced, because consumers’ preferences are the determining factor as to which products and origins are sold, and as to whether establishments for their sale are opened or closed. The implacable law of supply and demand applies in all its force to the relation between producers, wholesalers, retailers and consumers. Consumers penalise or reward the products depending on whether they are sold or not in the most suitable establishments. It may be noted that the figures presented here could be profitably assessed by sociologists, who would doubtless reach some very interesting conclusions on the basis of their study. Fifty years is a very suitable period for partly reviewing the history of the sector on the part of someone who has had the privilege of working in a place of capital importance and who wishes to present all the essential figures together with a set of conclusions expressed in very clear terms.

El present article valora exactament l’evolució que hi ha hagut, en aquest període de temps, en els tres camps clau per al desenvolupament d’un mercat central: l’oferta (nombre d’operadors), la demanda (tipologia de compradors) i el producte (procedència). I ho fa, per fer-ho més entenedor, a través de tres quadres que, de forma esglaonada en el temps, deixen constància de com s’han produït aquests canvis en el marc d’una plataforma privilegiada on coincideixen habitualment els compradors i els venedors de producte fresc. La concentració empresarial del sector majorista i la seva adequació a tots els perfils de compradors creiem que responen a la baula necessària per aquest sector agroalimentari. I s’explica el perquè dels canvis a través del paper del gran protagonisme de tots ells, que no és altre que el consumidor. La seva quotidiana compra de producte fresc marca el que es ven i el que no, on es fa i on no, perquè les seves preferències van decantant productes i orígens que es venen i establiments, que acaben obrint més punts de venda o, al contrari, els acaben tancant.La implacable llei de l’oferta i la demanda agafa tota la seva força en la relació entre el productor/majorista/detallista i el consumidor. El consumidor penalitza i/o premia el producte venut en la botiga més adequada. Fins i tot l’anàlisi de totes aquestes dades podria ser, de ben segur, duta a terme per sociòlegs que hi trobarien explicacions de molt d’interès. Cinquanta anys és un bon període per seure i repassar aquesta petita part de la història d’aquest sector per qui ha estat en un lloc privilegiat i vol aportar en aquest escrit tot el que ha après, amb la màxima transparència en totes les xifres i els comentaris expressats., This paper looks at the evolution which has taken place over the last fifty years in three fields of key importance for the development of a central market: the supply (the number of operators), the demand (the typology of buyers), and products (their origin). In order to enhance the understanding of these aspects, they are presented in three tables which highlight exactly how the respective changes have occurred over time within the framework of the market, an important facility where buyers and sellers meet to deal in fresh food products. We consider that the concentration of the wholesale sector in this facility and the suitable adaptation of its operators to all profiles of buyers form an essential link in the circuit of our agri-food industry. Likewise, we explain the changes which have come about on the basis of the outstanding role played by consumers. Indeed, the daily purchase of fresh products by consumers determines what is and what is not sold, as well as where the products are and are not produced, because consumers’ preferences are the determining factor as to which products and origins are sold, and as to whether establishments for their sale are opened or closed. The implacable law of supply and demand applies in all its force to the relation between producers, wholesalers, retailers and consumers. Consumers penalise or reward the products depending on whether they are sold or not in the most suitable establishments. It may be noted that the figures presented here could be profitably assessed by sociologists, who would doubtless reach some very interesting conclusions on the basis of their study. Fifty years is a very suitable period for partly reviewing the history of the sector on the part of someone who has had the privilege of working in a place of capital importance and who wishes to present all the essential figures together with a set of conclusions expressed in very clear terms.

- Abstract
Estimating the wheat grain yield can be of great help for farmers and institutions. This is especially relevant in the European Union, within the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). At regional level, it allows identification of the most suitable places for growing wheat and analysing special factors that affect the yield of the crop. At farm level, it helps to improve agricultural management by managing crop inputs in a more timely manner, also assisting to plan crop prices and stock management. The Sentinel-2 (S2) satellite, with a five-day revisit period, high spatial resolution and 13-band spectral resolution, enables more exhaustive monitoring of phenology and physiological attributes throughout the crop cycle at field scale. The objective of this work is to evaluate the suitability of several vegetation indices calculated from data obtained from Sentinel-2 images for the estimation of wheat yield at plot level. For this reason, information has been extracted from a set of images obtained during the crop cycle and the yield at the end of the crop for the 2020-2021 agricultural campaign. It has been determined in 10 wheat plots located in the following counties of Catalonia; Bages, Osona, Selva and Moianès. The relation between various vegetation indices related to biomass, chlorophyll content, and crop water content and yield have been studied. The results show that the vegetation indices obtained in the phenological stage of pasty grain (end of the crop cycle) are more suitable for estimating yield. The vegetation index that provides the best estimates of yield is that of water content, with a determination coefficient of 0,78 in the phenological stage of pasty grain., Estimar el rendiment del gra de blat pot ser una gran ajuda per agricultors i institucions. Això és especialment rellevant a la Unió Europea, en el marc de la Política Agrària Comuna (PAC). A nivell regional permet identificar els lloc més adequats per al cultiu de blat i analitzar factors espacials que afecten al rendiment del cultiu. A nivell d'explotació ajuda a millorar el maneig agrícola i administrar de manera més oportuna els inputs del cultiu, també ajuda a planificar preus de les collites i gestió d'estocs. El satèl·lit Sentinel-2 (S2), amb un període de revisita de cinc dies, una alta resolució espacial i una resolució espectral de 13 bandes , possibilita un seguiment més exhaustiu de la fenologia i dels atributs fisiològics al llarg del cicle del cultiu a escala de camp. L'objectiu d'aquest treball és avaluar l'aptitud de diversos índexs de vegetació calculats a partir de dades obtingudes d'imatges Sentinel-2 per a l'estimació del rendiment de blat a nivell de parcel·la. Per això s'ha extret informació d'un conjunt d'imatges obtingudes durant el cicle de cultiu i s'ha determinat el rendiment a final de cultiu per a la campanya agrícola de 2020-2021 en 10 parcel·les de blat situades a Catalunya, a les comarques del Bages, Osona, la Selva i el Moianès. S'han estudiat les relacions entre diversos índex de vegetació relacionats amb la biomassa, el contingut de clorofil·la i el contingut d'aigua del cultiu i el rendiment. Els resultats mostren que els índexs de vegetació obtinguts a l'estadi fenològic de gra pastós (final del cicle de cultiu) són més aptes per a estimar el rendiment. L'índex de vegetació que proporciona millors estimacions del rendiment és el de contingut d'aigua, amb un coeficient de determinació de 0,78 a l'estadi fenològic de gra pastós., Estimar el rendimiento del grano de trigo puede ser una gran ayuda para agricultores e Instituciones. Esto es especialmente relevante en la Unión Europea, en el marco de la Política Agraria Común (PAC). A nivel regional permite identificar los lugares más adecuados para el cultivo de trigo y analizar factores especiales que afectan al rendimiento del cultivo. A nivel de explotación ayuda a mejorar el manejo agrícola y administrar de forma más oportuna los inputs del cultivo, también ayuda a planificar precios de las cosechas y gestión de stocks. El satélite Sentinel-2 (S2), con un período de revisita de cinco días, una alta resolución espacial y una resolución espectral de 13 bandas, posibilita un seguimiento más exhaustivo de la fenología y de los atributos fisiológicos a lo largo del ciclo del cultivo a escala de campo. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar la aptitud de varios índices de vegetación calculados a partir de datos obtenidos de imágenes Sentinel-2 para la estimación del rendimiento de trigo a nivel de parcela. Para eso se ha extraído información de un conjunto de imágenes obtenidas durante el ciclo de cultivo y se ha determinado el rendimiento a final de cultivo para la campaña agrícola de 2020-2021 en 10 parcelas de trigo situadas en Cataluña, en las comarcas del Bages, Osona, la Selva y el Moianès. Se han estudiado las relaciones entre varios índices de vegetación relacionados con la biomasa, el contenido de clorofila y el contenido de agua del cultivo y el rendimiento. Los resultados muestran que los índices de vegetación obtenidos en el estadio fenológico de grano pastoso (final del ciclo de cultivo) son más aptos para estimar el rendimiento. El índice de vegetación que proporciona mejor estimación del rendimiento es el de contenido de agua, con un coeficiente de determinación de 0,78 en el estadio fenológico de grano pastoso
