Del Antropoceno al Ecoceno: propuestas jurídicas de la transición ecosocial para el cuidado de la vida by Susana Borràs-Pentinat

“…In these times when we experience, first-hand, the limits of our existence, COVID-19 has proved to be another of the multiple consequences of the human footprint on the Earth ecosystem. The destruction of habitats, the extinction of biodiversity, the climatic emergency… have generated a situation of global disease, which places the Earth system at the limits of its capacity and in which humans are not at all oblivious to the consequences of this pathology. …”

Biometric Technologies from the Anthropocentric and Nonanthropocentric Perspective by Barbora Baďurová, Marta Húšťava Šipulová

“… Biometric technologies or biometrics are becoming widespread, and, in many ways, they help to make human life easier. As this new technology has a significant impact on not just humans but also nonhuman nature, the authors perceive that there is a need of utmost importance to deal with the evaluation of the impact from the point of view of ethics, especially environmental ethics. …”

CXCL13 Promotes Proliferation of Mesangial Cells by Combination with CXCR5 in SLE by Zhanyun Da, Liuxia Li, Jin Zhu, Zhifeng Gu, Bo You, Ying Shan, Si Shi

“…To determine the effect of CXCL13 on SLE and explore the potential mechanisms, we tested serum concentrations of CXCL13 in patients and healthy individuals and found that CXCL13 expression was high in SLE patients especially in LN patients. When we treated human renal mesangial cells (HRMCs) in vitro with recombinant human CXCL13, the cell proliferation was accelerated, which was tested by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry. …”

Indoor millimeter-wave D2D communication modeling combining self-blockage and common blockage by Lei WANG, Xiao-ting YU, Ming-kai CHEN, Yi QIAN

“…The high transmission rate characteristic of millimeter wave (mmWave) technology can meet the requirements of large amount of data communications among intelligent devices for indoor scenario.While guaranteeing high throughput,reducing the interference simultaneously in a closed region is still a challenge.For indoor transmission,the human bodies are considered as main blockages besides common blockages.Thus,a new system model is presented,constructing the human body into a self-blockage model,while using multi-ball LOS link state model to describe the conventional blockage.The combination of the two will give a more comprehensive and accurate expression of indoor obstruction.The proposed model uses stochastic geometry to analyze system performance by giving a closed expression of coverage and rate.The simulation results show that the model is accurate to describe the distribution of blockages via the comparison between analysis and Monte Carlo simulations.…”
