The crisis of the concept of society: historiosophical and sociological search by Irena Eglė Laumenskaitė

“…The postmodernity itself breaks the correspondence of "social physics" (organizational structures) with "social metaphysics" (system of values) as it produces a pluralistic (not hierarchical) "metaphysics" while keeping a hierarchy in "physics," where the subordination of the individual to the social structures is even stronger than in the era of modernity. …”

Viral and immune dynamics of genital human papillomavirus infections in young women with high temporal resolution. by Nicolas Tessandier, Baptiste Elie, Vanina Boué, Christian Selinger, Massilva Rahmoun, Claire Bernat, Sophie Grasset, Soraya Groc, Anne-Sophie Bedin, Thomas Beneteau, Marine Bonneau, Christelle Graf, Nathalie Jacobs, Tsukushi Kamiya, Marion Kerioui, Julie Lajoie, Imène Melki, Jean-Luc Prétet, Bastien Reyné, Géraldine Schlecht-Louf, Mircea T Sofonea, Olivier Supplisson, Chris Wymant, Vincent Foulongne, Jérémie Guedj, Christophe Hirtz, Marie-Christine Picot, Jacques Reynes, Vincent Tribout, Édouard Tuaillon, Tim Waterboer, Michel Segondy, Ignacio G Bravo, Nathalie Boulle, Carmen Lía Murall, Samuel Alizon

“…We collected data on virus load, local immune cell populations, local concentrations of cytokines, and circulating antibody titres. Using hierarchical Bayesian statistical modelling to simultaneously analyse the data from 164 HPV infections from 76 participants, we show that in two months after infection, HPV viral load in non-persisting infections reaches a plateau that lasts on average for 13 to 20 months (95% credibility interval) and is then followed by a rapid clearance phase. …”
