A scoping review protocol

This article describes the re-design of an English course for third‑year sports science students into a blended format at the school of Human and Social Sciences of University of Bordeaux. Online modules enable students to prepare for face‑to‑face classes in small groups with a focus on oral interaction and task-based learning. Here, we describe the rationale behind the course, the course architecture and activities before analysing feedback from both students and teachers. The aim of our study is to examine the impact of the course re-design on the learner. We investigate whether the course fosters greater engagement and encourages students to take on more responsibility for their learning. We also discuss the reactions of the teachers to the course and the impact it has on their role in the classroom. Cet article décrit la transformation en un dispositif hybride d’un cours d’anglais pour des étudiants de 3e année de Licence STAPS qui fait partie du Collège Sciences de l’Homme à l’université de Bordeaux. Des modules en ligne permettent aux étudiants de préparer en amont les séances en présentiel en petits groupes qui sont consacrées à l’interaction orale, par le biais d’activités d’apprentissage par la tâche. Nous décrivons ici les raisons qui ont justifié la transformation du cours, la structure du dispositif hybride mis en place et les activités proposées, avant d’analyser le feedback fourni par les étudiants et les enseignants. L’objectif de notre étude est d’examiner l’impact qu’a eu la transformation du cours sur l’apprenant. Nous évaluons notamment l’influence de cette transformation sur l’engagement des étudiants et tentons de définir si le nouveau format du cours encourage ces derniers à devenir plus responsables de leur apprentissage. Nous abordons aussi les réactions des enseignants et la façon dont ce nouveau cours a modifié leur rôle dans la classe.

Room-temperature superconductivity was recently discovered in carbonaceous sulfur hydride (C-S-H) close to 3\,Mbar. We report significant differences in the superconducting response of C-S-H, with a maximum $T_{C}$ of 191(1)\,K, below a 1\,Mbar. Variations in intensity of the C-H Raman modes reveal carbon content can vary between crystals synthesized with the same photo-induced method. Synchrotron single crystal x-ray diffraction identifies polymorphism with increasing degrees of covalency. These unique metastable states are highly sensitive to thermodynamic pathways.

This work combines high pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear forward scattering (NFS), and nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (NRIXS) experiments on iron diantimonide (FeSb2), a promising thermoelectric material. NRIXS uses the interaction between excited nuclear and lattice states to directly measure the phonon density of states (PDOS) for samples containing certain Mössbauer isotopes. For our experiments, we synthesized FeSb2 enriched with the isotope 57Fe and measured the partial PDOS for 57Fe sites in the FeSb2 lattice. NFS, also known as synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy, is a sister technique to NRIXS that studies the hyperfine structure of the excited Mössbauer nuclei. High pressure XRD experiments provide complementary information on the crystal structure of FeSb2. Samples were pressurized with symmetric-style and panoramic-style diamond anvil cells. High pressure experiments were conducted at Sector 16 of the Argonne National Laboratory Advanced Photon Source.
