Dynamics of an infectious diseases with media/psychology induced non-smooth incidence by Yanni Xiao, Tingting Zhao, Sanyi Tang

“…The disease-free isglobally asymptotically stable when a certain threshold is less thanunity, while the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptoticallystable for otherwise. The media/psychological impact although doesnot affect the epidemic threshold, delays the epidemic peak andresults in a lower size of outbreak (or equilibrium level ofinfected individuals).…”

Les ittifâq-s communautaires. Escamotage d’archives et autonomie locale dans la province de Tunis au XIXe siècle by Sami Bargaoui

Vyandsliefde of geweld: oor die politiek van die historiese Jesus by E. Scheffler

“…Despite making the proposed task more difficult, in this contribution attention will be paid to the historical Jesus’ stance on violence (as contained in the Gospel tradition), our expressed hermeneutical intent being to address contemporary violence, in interpersonal relationships as well as on a global “political” scale (e.g. war). After some remarks on the possibilities and limitations of historical Jesus research, Jesus’ own stance or teaching on violence (e.g. blessed are the peacemakers, loving the enemy and turning the other cheek), as well as his possible involvement in, or opposition to violence in the Palestinian and Roman context of his day will be scrutinised. …”

Crucial role of subsurface ocean variability in tropical cyclone genesis by Cong Gao, Lei Zhou, I.-I. Lin, Chunzai Wang, Shoude Guan, Fei-Fei Jin, Raghu Murtugudde

“…Here, we show that the subsurface variabilities associated with the variation in the 26 °C isothermal depth have pronounced impacts on tropical cyclogenesis over global oceans. The sea surface wind stress and its curl before tropical cyclogenesis are large enough to perturb the ocean interior down to more than one hundred meters due to entrainment and upwelling. …”
