“…Consequently, heat dissipates more quickly at night, increasing SUHII values. (2) The mean ΔSUHII_AD (absolute difference in SUHII values across methods) was 0.51 ± 0.01 °C during the day and 0.44 ± 0.02 °C at night. (3) In high-altitude plateau cities, for all methods, the correlation of the SUHII with influencing factors was stronger, highlighting their sensitivity to both environmental and anthropogenic influences. …”

Shakespeare revisité, entre fidélité et parodie : de La Nuit des Rois à Shake de Dan Jemmett by Isabelle Schwartz-Gastine

“…It is called Shake, with a modest sub-title « around Twelfth Night », but which is indeed at the heart of the topic.Through the exploration of three themes: symmetry (of situations, of twin binarities), love’s misunderstanding, and music, I will argue that this comedy, whose title is a mix between the name of the Bard and the etymological meaning of the verb “to shake” as far as traditions are concerned, is faithful to the spirit (rather than the letter) of the Shakespearean original in a very healthy comic vein.It is not worth wondering if the spectators fully understood the meaning of this comedy in which the four actors change roles all the time: their frequent bursts of laughter clearly showed that they enjoyed the spirit of the comedy, whether they knew Twelfth Night or not.…”

A comparison of kinesiophobia, pain-activity patterns and fear-avoidance beliefs in patients with chronic low back pain by Egemen Kızılay, Fatma Kızılay, Betül Ergün

“…Whereas a statistically significant difference was found between the duration of morning stiffness (p=0.001), pain duration (p=0.018), VAS resting (p=0.001), and VAS night (p=0.001) score. It was observed that high resting and night VAS scores in the ILBP group were not associated with fear-avoidance and kinesiophobia behaviors any more than in the MLBP group. …”

Contribution of Spatial Heterogeneity and Temporal-Spatial Change of Ecosystems to the Thermal Environment of Tourist Destinations: A Case Study of Sichuan-Chongqing Region, China by Dechao Chen, Xinliang Xu, Huailong Jiang, Zongyao Sun, Luo Liu, Zhi Qiao

“…Based on the diurnal differences of the contribution indices, cities can be divided into three types: the day-night heat source type, the day-sink and night-source type, and the day-night heat sink type. (2) The farmland and the grassland ecosystems are the most important source and sink landscapes in the thermal environment of the Sichuan-Chongqing Region, respectively. (3) The region is affected by the spatial arrangement of the internal ecosystems and its own development conditions, and, consequently, there are significant temporal-spatial variations and role transitions between heat source and heat sink regarding the contribution of different ecosystem types to the thermal environment of individual cities. …”
