Epistemic Roots, Universal Routes and Ontological Roofs of African “Ritual Archives”: Disciplinary Formations in African Thought by Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju

“…“Ritual Archives”, oscillates between the analytical and the poetic, the ruminative and the architectonic, expressive styles pouring out a wealth of ideas, which, even though adequately integrated, are not always adequately elaborated on. This essay responds to the resonance of those ideas, further illuminating their intrinsic semantic values and demonstrating my perception of the intersections of the concerns they express with issues beyond the African referent of “Ritual Archives”. …”

Assessment framework to predict sensitivity of marine calcifiers to ocean alkalinity enhancement – identification of biological thresholds and importance of precautionary principle... by N. Bednaršek, H. van de Mortel, G. Pelletier, G. Pelletier, M. García-Reyes, R. A. Feely, A. G. Dickson, A. G. Dickson

“…This<span id="page474"/> is important given the fact that at least some of the current OAE approaches do not always assure safe biological space. With 60 % of responses being non-neutral, a precautionary approach for OAE implementation is warranted, identifying the conditions where potential negative ecological outcomes could happen, which is key for scaling up and avoiding ecological risks.…”

Clinical expression of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy in carriers of 1–3 D4Z4 reduced alleles: experience of the FSHD Italian National Registry by Antonio Di Muzio, Corrado Angelini, Tiziana Mongini, Liliana Vercelli, Lucia Morandi, Giovanni Antonini, Gabriele Siciliano, Lucio Santoro, Maurizio Moggio, Giacomo Brisca, Luisa Villa, Giuliano Tomelleri, Francesco Sera, Carmelo Rodolico, Lorenzo Maggi, Giulia Ricci, Angela Berardinelli, Elena Pegoraro, Sabrina Ravaglia, Chiara Fiorillo, Michelangelo Cao, Rossella Tupler, Ana Nikolic, Elisabetta Bucci, Monica Govi, Fabiano Mele, Marta Rossi, Lucia Ruggiero, Maria Chiara D'Amico, Maria Grazia D'Angelo, Claudio Bruno

“…Relatives carrying 1–3 DRA showed a large clinical variability ranging from healthy subjects, to patients with severe motor impairment.Conclusions The size of the D4Z4 allele is not always predictive of severe clinical outcome. The high degree of clinical variability suggests that additional factors contribute to the phenotype complexity.…”

Alimentation et gestion de l’eau sur la colline de Fourvière à Lyon : les aménagements hydrauliques, la ville et ses monuments by Aldo Borlenghi, Éric Leroy

“…Their construction in the middle of the 1st century AD and the commissioning of the aqueduct at the same time are probably related.The available data, which is dispersed and often old, needs complete revision, but the many contributions of preventive archaeology on the hydraulic structures as well as on the urban occupation of the hill will enlighten us in the coming years. As always, teamwork will be the essential factor needed to arrive at a new synthesis on the subject.…”
