Regenerative viticulture and climate change resilience by Flora O'Brien, Alistair Nesbitt, Rebecca Sykes, Belinda Kemp

“…There is less consensus regarding the impact of RV approaches on grape yield, wine quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as a lack of vineyard-based evidence demonstrating the efficacy of biostimulants and Biological Control Agents (BCAs). Research covering a range of regional or context specific environments regarding regenerative approaches or practices are limited, particularly when seeking to address opportunities for, and impacts of whole vineyard systems change–this is a complex area that has not yet been fully addressed. …”

The impact of cultural origin on the psychiatric expertise in Switzerland: a focus on sexual violence illustrated by two criminal cases by Marco De Pieri, Neva Suardi

“…Dominance, rather than sexual gratification, can lead to sexual violence, which could also be a “male backlash” against gender equality. Biological theories link sexual violence to genetic factors; a psychodynamic perspective suggests an unconscious social reproduction of masculine culture and delves into possible explanations for violent behavior. …”

Assimilation efficiencies and elimination rates of silver, cadmium and zinc accumulated by trophic pathway in Gammarus fossarum by Gestin, Ophélia, Lopes, Christelle, Delorme, Nicolas, Garnero, Laura, Geffard, Olivier, Lacoue-Labarthe, Thomas

“…Our results indicate that: i) Cd has the highest assimilation efficiency (39% for leaves and 19% for larvae), followed by Zn (15% for leaves and 9% for larvae) and Ag (5% for leaves); ii) for Cd and Zn, the AE were higher when gammarids were fed with leaves than with larvae; iii) the elimination rates of metals seem to depend more on the food matrix than on the metal assimilated; and thus iv) the biological half-life calculated from the kes is 5.1 days for Ag, between 4.9 and 13 days for Cd and between 3.8 and 13 days for Zn.…”
