La forêt : un stade comme un autre ? by Romain Lepillé

“…Quelles sont les activités qui se prêtent le plus à la digitalisation et celles qui semblent résister à ces offres ?Cet article propose d’étudier des niveaux et des formes de digitalisation des activités, et d’examiner en particulier ce qui, avec les possibilités de géolocalisation (GPS), affecte ou non la socialisation de la forêt d’une part, la territorialisation des activités d’autre part.Le terrain d’étude est constitué par l’ensemble des massifs forestiers de la Métropole Rouen Normandie.Outre les observations de terrain (N≈150) l’article prend appui sur la méthode mixte qui combinent une enquête quantitative par questionnaire (n=332) ; la collecte de traces numériques (N≈1000) laissées par les pratiquants de loisirs sportifs équipés de dispositifs de traçage et une enquête qualitative par l’intermédiaire d’entretiens semi-directifs (N=10).La première partie de l’article décrit le terrain d’étude, le matériel et les méthodes de recueil employés et distingue deux catégories de pratiquants de loisirs sportifs en forêt en fonction de l’utilisation du numérique. …”

Copper homeostasis and neurodegenerative diseases by Yuanyuan Wang, Daidi Li, Kaifei Xu, Guoqing Wang, Feng Zhang

“…Additionally, copper can bind aberrantly to several neuronal proteins, including alpha-synuclein, tau, superoxide dismutase 1, and huntingtin, thereby inducing neurotoxicity and ultimately cell death. This study focuses on the latest literature evaluating the role of copper in neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular focus on copper-containing metalloenzymes and copper-binding proteins in the regulation of copper homeostasis and their involvement in neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis. …”

mRNA-lncRNA gene expression signature in HPV-associated neoplasia and cervical cancer by E. D. Kulaeva, E. S. Muzlaeva, E. V. Mashkina

“…Along with the protein-coding genes, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the development of malignant cell transformation. Although human papillomavirus is widespread, there is currently no well-characterized transcriptomic signature to predict whether this tumor will develop in the presence of HPV-associated neoplastic changes in the cervical epithelium. …”
