Paradigm shifters: tricksters and cultural science by Hartley John

“…This paper seeks to link anthropological and economic treatments of the process of innovation and change, not only within a given ‘complex system’ (e.g. a cosmology; an industry) but also between systems (e.g. cultural and economic systems; but also divine and human systems). …”

Effects of Naringenin and Its Glycosides on Functional Properties of Oat Protein and Their Interaction Mechanism by Wuzhen LIU, Ti LI, Qin GENG, Jun CHEN, Jialong HAN, Chengmei LIU, Taotao DAI

“…To investigate the effect of naringenin and its glycoside (naringin and narirutin) on foaming, emulsifying and interfacial tension of oat protein and their interaction mechanism, in this study, fluorescence spectra and circular dichroism were used to elucidate the interaction mechanism and protein structure changes of oat protein-flavonoid complex system. The interaction of oat protein-flavonoid complex system was visualized by molecular simulation technique. …”

Kinetic Theory with Casimir Invariants—Toward Understanding of Self-Organization by Topological Constraints by Zensho Yoshida

“…A topological constraint, characterized by the Casimir invariant, imparts non-trivial structures in a complex system. We construct a kinetic theory in a constrained phase space (infinite-dimensional function space of macroscopic fields), and characterize a self-organized structure as a thermal equilibrium on a leaf of foliated phase space. …”

“Frizioni famigliari”. Lavoratori, salute e conflitti in un’area industriale siciliana by Andrea Filippo Ravenda

“…From this perspective, the families and the biographies of the workers themselves are spaces of friction useful for the understanding of the more complex system that connects global instances of environmental risk to local specificities and the experiences of the people who live and work in industrial areas.…”

Tourist brownfields in French Polynesia - Revealing a destination crisis and a form of resistance to international tourism by Philippe Bachimon

“…We will show that this complex system reflects permanent and socioeconomic more cyclical identity blockages, that can be found, with a lesser extent, in a lot of emblematic tourist destinations, that mark the tensions arising between the local host of a global tourism.…”

Reducing Trade Inequality: A Network-Based Assessment by J. Garcia-Algarra, G. Gómez Bengoechea, M. L. Mouronte-López

“…Despite efforts of multilateral organizations to foster a more fair world through trade agreements, it is hard to assess the effect of these changes on such a complex system. We have measured, using numerical simulation on a recently published network model, the impact of simple policies to boost trade chances among the weakest economies. …”

Flexibilité et intentionnalité dans la communication gestuelle chez les grands singes by Catherine Hobaiter, Richard W. Byrne

“…The gestural communication of great apes is a rich and complex system. It is used in a flexible manner with the intention to communicate specific goals to specific individuals - as such, it shares many of the basic attributes of human language, supporting the idea that the two systems share a common evolutionary root. …”
