The structural landscape and diversity of Pyricularia oryzae MAX effectors revisited. by Mounia Lahfa, Philippe Barthe, Karine de Guillen, Stella Cesari, Mouna Raji, Thomas Kroj, Marie Le Naour-Vernet, François Hoh, Pierre Gladieux, Christian Roumestand, Jérôme Gracy, Nathalie Declerck, André Padilla

“…Based on the comparison of the AF2-generated 3D models we propose a classification of the MAX effectors superfamily in 20 structural groups that vary in the canonical MAX fold, disulfide bond patterns, and additional secondary structures in N- and C-terminal extensions. About one-third of the MAX family members remain singletons, without strong structural relationship to other MAX effectors. …”

Unity and differentiation of legal regulation for the implementation of the right to work in certain categories of employees by Ye. Yu. Podorozhnii

“…It has been generalised that the application of the principle of unity and differentiation in the legal regulation of the implementation of the right to work in certain categories of employees is a prerequisite for unimpeded access and inclusion of persons with certain specific physiological and/or social traits considered to be legally significant into the common legal space within which relations on the use of hired labour arise, develop, change and terminate. It has been noted that the unity of legal regulation ensures a non-discriminatory approach to providing different individuals with the opportunity to realise their abilities and capacity to work through the conclusion of an employment contract. …”

La educación jurídica y la democracia en México bajo la perspectiva de John Dewey by Joaquín Ordóñez Sedeño

“…El beneficio que se espera obtener del análisis pre- tendido es hacia la universidad pública y su democracia –cuya connotación no debe ser solamente en relación con la forma de gobierno– y finalmente hacia la propia sociedad que recibe el producto terminal de la máxima casa de estudios. Por ello, se revisa si son aplicables los postulados de Dewey respecto a la educación jurídica democrática en la universidad pública y se considera que sí son aplicables, ya que proponen procesos de educación destinados a la formación de ciudadanos con habilidades y capacidades ex profeso, y la universidad pública tiene como objetivo la formación humanística de los in- dividuos y de los ciudadanos insertos en un ámbito estatal.…”

Enjeux et perspectives d’une culture médiévale au lycée by Isabelle Olivier

“…Mais surtout, la littérature médiévale, par son altérité, ne peut que conduire à un renouvellement de l’approche des textes en classe ; ainsi, elle présente tout particulièrement des affinités électives avec les démarches préconisées depuis quelques décennies par la recherche en didactique de la littérature, fondées sur le concept de lecture littéraire. Cette réflexion se termine alors sur quelques modestes propositions pour une véritable place des lettres médiévales dans l’enseignement secondaire.…”
