Vortical waves in a quantum fluid with vector, axial, and helical charges. I. Non-dissipative transport by Sergio Morales-Tejera, Victor E. Ambruş, Maxim N. Chernodub

“…Due to the symmetries of the Lagrangian for free massless Dirac particles, there are three independent and classically conserved currents corresponding to the vector, axial, and helical charges. The constitutive relations for the charge currents and the stress-energy tensor at thermal equilibrium, derived in the framework of quantum field theory at finite temperature, reveal vorticity-induced contributions that deviate from the perfect fluid form. …”

L’enjeu de l’identité linguistique dans l’île francoprovençale des Pouilles by Giovanni Agresti

“…Ce propos va s’articuler en deux volets, étroitement interconnectés : 1) dans le premier, nous abordons la question du nom de la langue, le glossonyme, qui n’est pas qu’un désignant car il recouvre et véhicule des représentations de la langue et de l’identité de la communauté locale ; 2) dans le second volet, nous croisons la réflexion sur le glossonyme avec une ébauche d’étude synchronique du francoprovençal des Pouilles, d’après une perspective d’abord émique (c’est l’analyse des représentations sociales), ensuite étique, dans le but de situer la variété linguistique locale par rapport à d’autres variétés constitutives du paysage linguistique de l’île francoprovençale des Pouilles. …”

Moxibustion in patients with shoulder bursitis by Misaida Reinoso Sollet, Emilia Labrada Aguilera, Richard Garib Hernández, Eliet Cambara Pérez

“…The universe consisted of 35 patients between 26 and 54 years old who attended the referred service, in the indicated period; the sample was selected by an intentional sample that included patients who completed all the treatment sessions and whose medical records were complete; thus, it was constituted by 21 patients. Results: The patients between 41 and 54 years of age represented 61.90%, the female sex predominated in 66.67% and 47.62% reported pain that was very difficult to bear. …”
