Regarder au-delà des élections : l’historicité complexe de la participation politique dans la Libye contemporaine by Chiara Loschi, Chiara Pagano

“…We argue it is the lack of effective channels to promote a truly inclusive debate on post-revolutionary Libya that hinders the possibility of completing the process of revolutionizing an oppressive, exclusionary, and corrupt power system initiated by the 17 February 2011 uprising. To shed light on the current political scenario, we propose here to reconsider the political from below, and namely by looking where only disruptions to the neo-liberal model of functioning democracies have been detected so far - and thus in most manifestations referred to as 'chaos', 'statelessness' or absence of 'political culture'. …”

Evolution of burnout syndrome in Spanish healthcare professionals during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: psychosocial variables involved by Fernanda Gil-Almagro, Fernanda Gil-Almagro, Fernanda Gil-Almagro, F. Javier Carmona-Monge, Fernando J. García-Hedrera, Cecilia Peñacoba-Puente

“…The preceding literature also points to the need to consider the three elements of burnout independently, as they appear to have different evolutionary trends and possibly different buffering and amplifying variables, although these aspects have hardly been explored.MethodsThe aim of the present investigation is precisely to shed light on these latter issues. It is a prospective study, carried out in 256 healthcare workers in Spain during three time points in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) (T1) between 5 May and 21 June 2020 (final phase of the state of alarm declared in Spain on 14 March), (2) (T2) 6 months after the end of the state of alarm (January–April 2021), and (3) (T3) 1 year after this second evaluation (April–July 2022). …”

The interplay of geology, climate and tectonics on river incision: the example of the High Verdon Gorges, Southwestern French Alps by Cardinal, Thibaut, Petit, Carole, Rolland, Yann, Schwartz, Stéphane, Valla, Pierre Gaston, Scalabrino, Bruno, Audin, Laurence, Bertauts, Maxime, Zerathe, Swann, Thiéblemont, Denis, Braucher, Régis, Team, ASTER

“…Deciphering the impact of short-term or long-term forcing on fluvial incision, as well as understanding the influence of local (channel lithology and morphology) and global (tectonic motions) parameters in the spatial variation of incision efficiency, are ongoing geomorphological research fields. To shed new light on these issues, we chose to study the “Hautes Gorges du Verdon” (High Verdon Gorges or HVG), located in the foreland of the Southwestern Alps. …”

Les réseaux d’alimentation en eau des pentes de la Croix-Rousse et de la presqu’île de Lyon by Jules Ramona
