Language and Sustainability, Linguistic Sustainability: Between Economization and Simulative Democracy? by Goranka Rocco

“…The considerations lead to a reflection on the possibilities and limits of linguistic sustainability with regard to the progressive economization of knowledge and science, which influence language use, and on the other hand with regard to the gap between real developments, which seem to privilege one or at best a few languages, and the official narratives on the promotion of multilingualism. …”

Screening for Ischemic Heart Disease with Cardiac CT: Current Recommendations by Matthew J. Budoff

“…CAC is the most robust test today to reclassify individuals based on traditional risk factor assessment and provides the opportunity to better strategize the treatments for these subjects (converting patients from intermediate to high or low risk). CAC progression has also been identified as a risk for future cardiovascular events, with markedly increased events occurring in those patients exhibiting increases in calcifications over time. …”

Neuropathology and Neurochemistry of Nonmotor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease by Isidro Ferrer

“…Many of these alterations appear before or in parallel with motor deficits and then worsen with disease progression. Although there is a close relation between motor symptoms and the presence of Lewy bodies (LBs) and neurites filled with abnormal 𝛼-synuclein, other neurological alterations are independent of the amount of 𝛼-synuclein inclusions in neurons and neurites, thereby indicating that different mechanisms probably converge in the degenerative process. …”

Un parcours collectif autour du militantisme politique en Argentine : de la mémoire des « combattants révolutionnaires » aux discours sur la victimisation by Paula Sombra

“…The first is the continuity of political experiences troughout time while the second engages the policies of forgiveness and the process of personal (and national) memorial reconstruction in countries that have suffered major collective traumas.This paper pays particular attention to a variety of ideological formulations, practices and collective values that structure the FAP and, over the years, have progressively defined the boundaries of a given experience and meaning to actions, so as to ensure the sustainability of political commitment. …”

Numerical Simulation of Density Current Evolution in a Diverging Channel by Mitra Javan, Afshin Eghbalzadeh, Masoud Montazeri Namin

“…Downstream of the plunge point, the flow becomes progressively diluted due to the fluid entrainment. This study seeks to explore the ability of 2D width-averaged unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulation approach for resolving density currents in an inclined diverging channel. 2D width-averaged unsteady RANS equations closed by a buoyancy-modified 𝑘−𝜀 turbulence model are integrated in time with a second-order fractional step approach coupled with a direct implicit method and discretized in space on a staggered mesh using a second-order accurate finite volume approach incorporating a high-resolution semi-Lagrangian technique for the convective terms. …”
