Bursting Oscillations in Shimizu-Morioka System with Slow-Varying Periodic Excitation by Xindong Ma, Shuqian Cao

“…Second, complicated dynamic behaviors are analyzed when the slow-varying parameter passes through different bifurcation points, of which the mechanisms of four different bursting patterns, namely, symmetric “homoclinic/homoclinic” bursting oscillation, symmetric “fold/Hopf” bursting oscillation, symmetric “fold/fold” bursting oscillation, and symmetric “Hopf/Hopf” bursting oscillation via “fold/fold” hysteresis loop, are revealed with different values of the parameter b by means of the transformed phase portrait. Finally, we can find that the time interval between two symmetric adjacent spikes of bursting oscillations exhibits dependency on the periodic excitation frequency.…”

Ondina Valla, une « championne du fascisme » aux Jeux olympiques de Berlin (1936) by Suzy Toson

“…Above all, by rethinking the 1936 Olympics through Ondina Valla’s own experience, in particular by studying photographs and testimonies from the athlete collected afterwards, this portrait allows us to examine central issues in the study of the relationship between society and totalitarian regimes: the impact of fascist ideology on Ondina Valla’s development and identity, and the way in which she was able to appropriate, in the words of historian Alf Lüdtke, the world shaped by fascist dictatorship.…”
