GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes by María Isabel del Olmo-Garcia, Juan Francisco Merino-Torres

“…Among all the drugs available, the compounds known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) appear to be not just innocuous in terms of CVD but indeed to be beneficial. GLP-1 RA actions not only translate on an improvement of well-known cardiovascular risk factors such as glycaemic control, dyslipidaemia, weight, or arterial hypertension but also might show benefits on endothelial function, coronary ischaemia, and heart failure. …”

Geometric morphometrics approach for classifying children’s nutritional status on out of sample data by Medialdea Laura, Arribas-Gil Ana, Pérez-Romero Álvaro, Gómez Amador

“…In this setting, classification rules obtained on the shape space from a reference sample cannot be used on out-of-sample individuals in a straightforward way. Indeed, a series of sample dependent processing steps, such as alignment (Procrustes analysis, for instance) or allometric regression, need to be conducted before the classification rule can be applied. …”

Race, Gender, and Power : Black Women, White Women, and Racial Segregation in the Southern United States (1920-1970) by Anne Stefani

“…However, if the participation of black and white women in the civil rights movement proved as empowering to both groups, it did not foster a strong sense of solidarity among them.

L’altruisme, une condition de l’autorité éducative émancipatrice ? by Tommy Terraz

“…From a reflexive approach to the philosophy of education, we support the view that an educational ethic of altruism constitutes the precondition to accessing an educational and emancipatory authority, and then its correct actualization in each singular situation. Indeed, this educational ethic aims at the emancipation of the “personne“; unconditionally respects all human beings as a “Personne“ and prohibits all violence and nuisance against him/her; it allows mutual and free acknowledgement; it embraces the personal and symbolic third party; it facilitates the synergic construction of knowledge and the transmission of a cultural heritage of humanity; it provides a way of escaping the pitfalls of mimetic desire; it leads to consider the asymmetrical relationship of education as a temporary and potentially reversible one.…”
