The Arve Valley and Environmental Health: From Therapeutic Imagination to Eco-anxiety by Alexandre Savioz

“…Alpine regions broadly benefited from being considered particularly sanitary, and this was the engine of local tourism until the 1970s. Though the therapeutic characteristics of the mountains still exist today, scientific analyses carried out from the 1990s have underlined the great vulnerability of the Alpine valleys to atmospheric pollution. …”

The Observer’s Guide to the Gamma-Ray Burst Supernova Connection by Zach Cano, Shan-Qin Wang, Zi-Gao Dai, Xue-Feng Wu

“…We discuss how observations of their environments further constrain the physical properties of their progenitor stars and give a brief overview of the current theoretical paradigms of their central engines. We then present an overview of the radioactively powered transients that have been photometrically associated with short-duration GRBs, and we conclude by discussing what additional research is needed to further our understanding of GRB-SNe, in particular the role of binary-formation channels and the connection of GRB-SNe with superluminous SNe.…”

L’évolution du cadre bâti en Turquie, entre risque sismique et rentabilité du secteur de la construction : négociations et controverses sociotechniques by Youenn Gourain

“…The first part of the analysis examines the construction sector’s regulatory framework since 1999, which has shifted responsibility for seismic risk from the state to construction industry actors; that is, service providers, construction auditors, material producers and civil engineers. It then goes on to explain the choices made by players in the building industry who favor the demolition and reconstruction of buildings rather than their rehabilitation. …”

The war inside your mind: unprotected brain battlefields and neuro-vulnerability by Robert McCreight

“… The 21st century featured explosive discoveries, inventions, and finely crafted technologies where the vaguely dangerous and ambiguous mix of genomics, neuroscience, nanotech, robotics, cyber, and other advanced scientific ventures leads to unknown and possibly unpleasant outcomes pose an acute dilemma. The engineered convergence of advanced technology such as cutting-edge medical technology frontiers of cognitive dynamics, decoding key neural functions, explaining brain biochemistry, and exploring excursions into neuromodulation and plasticity research make the brain a prime object of sustained scientific desire. …”
