Appareillages livresques et diffractions fictionnelles dans le projet multimodal Character de Paul Heintz by Corentin Lahouste, David Martens, René Audet

“…This multimodal ecosystem, marked by a principle of repetition and a logic of duplication, is as much a questioning of reality through fiction as it is a political gesture: Heintz places the relational schema at the heart of the enterprise, with a view to giving substance to the possibility of a readjusted ‘being together’ capable of responding to contemporary political issues echoed in a novel like 1984.…”

The Scottish Independence Movement: National or Nationalist? by Nathalie Duclos

“…The reflection hinges on two premises: first, independence does not hold the same importance for all pro-independence actors, and second, many of them have chosen to put a rejection of nationalism at the heart of their case for independence. The article argues in favour of dividing pro-independence actors into two groups: nationalists for whom the pursuit of self-government is not only a means to other ends, but also an end goal to be achieved on the basis of nationalist principles; and non-nationalists for whom independence is only ever presented as a means to other, greater ends. …”

L’odeur de l’axé by Arnaud Halloy

“…I suggest three theoretical claims: the hypothesis of the metonymic function of smells (Howes 1987), i.e. that the very nature of smell—their liminal, intangible and evolutive character, as well as their privileged link to emotions—redouble at the experiential level the rituals’ symbolic function of transformation; the hypothesis of an “olfactive evaluative conditioning” (Zucco 2013) at the heart of the metonymic function of smells; the existence of olfactive practices and “styles,” which are constitutive elements of collective identities in Afro-Brazilian religions.…”

Unstable Modes and Order Parameters of Bistable Signaling Pathways at Saddle-Node Bifurcations: A Theoretical Study Based on Synergetics by Till D. Frank

“…In the present study, properties of mathematical models of bistable signaling pathways are examined from the perspective of synergetics, a theory of self-organization and pattern formation founded by Hermann Haken. At the heart of synergetics is the concept of so-called unstable modes or order parameters that determine the behavior of systems as a whole close to bifurcation points. …”

Mechanisms of Alcohol-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Organ Injuries by Cheng Ji

“…ER stress, a condition under which unfolded/misfolded protein accumulates in the ER, contributes to alcoholic disorders of major organs such as liver, pancreas, heart, and brain. Potential mechanisms that trigger the alcoholic ER stress response are directly or indirectly related to alcohol metabolism, which includes toxic acetaldehyde and homocysteine, oxidative stress, perturbations of calcium or iron homeostasis, alterations of S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio, and abnormal epigenetic modifications. …”

The eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 and the death of Gaius Plinius Secundus by Francois P. Retief, Louise Cilliers

“…Various reasons have been advanced to account for his death (asphyxiation caused by respiratory problems, carbon dioxide poisoning, heart failure, advanced coronary sclerosis). Basing our findings on the description of the catastrophe in the letters of his nephew, the younger Pliny, we believe that the most probable diagnosis which also fits his description of his uncle’s behaviour and symptoms during his last hours, is that of acute and fatal bronchoconstriction in a chronic asthmatic. …”
