City Anamorphoses in Measure for Measure by Sophie CHIARI

“…In this attempt to resort to new, unexpected ingenious effects, he worked out an experimental, anamorphic geography intended to reproduce an ambivalent map of love, where unabashed sexual licence is confronting repressed desire. Indeed, just like Holbein’s Ambassadors which switches from a grand vision of power and knowledge to that of a disquieting skull, Measure for Measure shows a passage from ducal palace to the margins of the city which foregrounds whores and hangmen as well as syphilitic bodies and skeletons.…”

Vers la structuration d’une filière aurifère « durable » ? Etude du cas de la Guyane française by Jessica Oder

“…However, this evolution of which pace is variously appreciated, is not done without disagreements, insofar as it puts in relief antagonisms between the stakeholders (mainly territorial collectivities and the central level, operators mining and environmentalists). Indeed, these antagonisms were revealed, on the one hand, during the Camp Caiman case (which involved Iamgold), and on the other hand during the development process of the SDOM itself. …”

Exploring the feasibility of a data center-free cloud computing framework utilizing underutilized personal computers by Ibrahim Mekawy, Alhanouf Alburaikan, Iman Atighi

“…The success of their system serves as tangible evidence that the "no data center" concept is indeed feasible. Beyond conceptualization and philosophy, the authors' experimental findings strongly validate their approach.…”

Diversity in the Regulation of Autophagy and Mitophagy: Lessons from Parkinson's Disease by Charleen T. Chu

“…In recent years, autophagy dysregulation has been implicated in toxin-injured dopaminergic neurons as well as in major genetic models of Parkinson's disease (PD), including α-synuclein, leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), parkin, PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), and DJ-1. Indeed, PINK1-parkin interactions may form the basis of a mechanism by which dissipation of the inner mitochondrial membrane potential can trigger selective mitochondrial targeting for autophagy. …”

Contribution of Ergotoxicology to the Determination of Actual PPE Effectiveness in Protecting Users From Phytosanitary Risks. From Contamination Analysis to the Collective Whistle-... by Alain Garrigou, Isabelle Baldi, Philippe Dubuc

“…We were able to point at the permeation of the fabric used for some of the suits. Indeed, after further discussion with PPE manufacturers, it would appear that the suits recommended for agricultural activities were initially developed for industrial purposes and that since farming is just a market niche, these suits may not have been tested for plant protection products, not even for the most common ones. …”

Gouvernance touristique des grandes stations et durabilité. Une lecture en termes de proximité by Emmanuelle Marcelpoil, Vincent Boudières

“…Methods of their management constitute an important axis of reflexion in the majority of the ski resorts, especially the most important, our goal in this paper. Indeed, the Mountain law conferred on the communes the responsibility for the piloting of the stations ; a management which it assumes or delegates to private operators, via public services. …”

De la crainte de la damnation éternelle aux prémisses de l’angoisse existentielle contemporaine : inquiétudes sotériologiques et eschatologiques chez William Hale White (« Mark Rut... by Jean-Michel Yvard

“…In the Victorian period, the anxiety induced by old age and by the fear of death seems to have been particularly widespread. Indeed, in the context of a relentless secularisation of world views, man’s uncertainties about his personal fate after death were bound to increase. …”

Ancient Hawaiian house lots and their flora: a review of Great Māhele plant claims with a special focus on Pritchardia (loulu) palms by Brien A. Meilleur

“…This is true for the period immediately after Western contact (1778) and for the decades following the arrival of American and European missionaries in the 1820s and 1830s, and indeed for the 19th century generally. The results of this review are presented here, with those plants claimed in the Native Register and those explicitly claimed near dwellings identified and described. …”

Brain Natriuretic Peptide Production and Secretion in Inflammation by Tsuneo Ogawa, Adolfo J. de Bold

“…Successful treatment of the rejection episode decreases the elevated plasma BNP to prerejection values suggesting that substances related to inflammation may selectively influence BNP gene expression. Indeed, cytokines such as TNFα and IL-1β selectively stimulate cardiac BNP at the transcriptional and translational levels in cardiomyocyte cultures without affecting ANF. …”

Sahara en mouvement by Dominique Casajus

“…In our introduction we pointed out some key figures of this invention (Leo Africanus, Eugene Daumas, Emile Carette, Henri Duveyrier, Robert Capot-Rey ...) then briefly presented the various contributions to the project, from a historical perspective. Indeed the Sahara-inspired dreams of today’s solar engineers are every bit as wild as the utopias of technicians from the colonial era. …”

Évolution des registres de l’action, de la ruse à la mobilisation de la notion « droit » par les habitants des bidonvilles au Maroc by Habiba Essahel

“…Thus, the range of their actions has diversified and intensified. Indeed, the urban riots that characterized the 1980s and 1990s, as a time of social protest and beginning of new premises in urban policies, gave way to claims made along more legal lines; the idea of rights has been “emerging” as a major reference from the late 1990s until present days in the particular context of the Arab Springs. …”

The Discovery of Novel Experimental Therapies for Inflammatory Arthritis by Charles J. Malemud

“…Over the past few years, sphingosine-1-phosphate, interleukin-7 receptor, spleen tyrosine kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase 5/p38 kinase regulated/activated protein kinase, micro-RNAs, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand and the polyubiquitin-proteasome pathway were identified as promising novel targets for potential antiarthritis drug development. Indeed several experimental compounds alter the biological activity of these targets and have shown clinical efficacy in animal models of arthritis. …”
