Spatial risk modelling of highly pathogenic avian influenza in France: Fattening duck farm activity matters. by Jean Artois, Timothée Vergne, Lisa Fourtune, Simon Dellicour, Axelle Scoizec, Sophie Le Bouquin, Jean-Luc Guérin, Mathilde C Paul, Claire Guinat

“…Our results also show that the density of fattening duck houses could be used as a valuable alternative predictor of the spatial distribution of outbreaks per municipality, as this data is generally more readily available than data on movements between houses. …”

HFE-Related Hemochromatosis: The Haptoglobin 2-2 Type Has a Significant but Limited Influence on Phenotypic Expression of the Predominant p.C282Y Homozygous Genotype by Gérald Le Gac, Chandran Ka, Isabelle Gourlaouen, Laurence Bryckaert, Anne-Yvonne Mercier, Brigitte Chanu, Virginie Scotet, Claude Férec

“…Hp2-2 favors endocytosis of hemoglobin iron in monocytes/macrophages, resulting in partial iron retention and increased intracellular ferritin levels. This situation is generally not expected to severely affect iron homeostasis, but was found to correlate with elevated serum iron indices in healthy men. …”

Resolução de conflitos ambientais no Brasil: do patriarcal ao fraternal by Paulo Renato Ernandorena

“…In the end, the analysis concludes that the eco mediation may appease the insertion of the fraternity component on arguing related to environmental estates, generally ruled by the radicalization and a vision of world's representationalism, contributing perhaps to the co-operation construction of a new paradigmatical systemic epistemology for conflicts solutions, that insures the emphasized roll to fraternal as imperative of conduct.…”

Deutsche und österreichische Rechtsterminologie an ausgewählten Beispielen aus dem Bereich des Familienrechts by Aneta Łosińska

“…This leads to serious problems in translation – as only ‘German’ terms are given in dictionaries, and the translators are generally unaware of the differences. On the one hand, this poses problems for Austrians who have to translate foreign-language texts into their ‘mother tongue’, but even greater problems for language mediators at the international level, who are confronted with legal and administrative texts from Austria. …”

Hierarchical Learning: A Hybrid of Federated Learning and Personalization Fine-Tuning by Li Shuyi, Zhang Bairong

“…Traditional FL methods, which allow multiple clients to collaboratively train a global model without sharing raw data, are hindered by issues such as non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data, communication overhead, and limited generalization across diverse client datasets. This study proposes a hierarchical model that mitigates these challenges by incorporating a global model, trained using the Federated Averaging (FedAvg) algorithm, and applying client-specific fine-tuning to improve local model performance. …”
