Informative architectures and citizen participation: a comparative study between the digital platforms Decidim and Rousseauv by Eli Borges Junior, Bruno Madureira Ferreira

“…Just as more verticalized communicative structures (such as those of traditional mass media) tend to concentrate decision-making processes and power, more horizontalized structures end up favoring more collaborative and democratic actions: thus, we aimed to verify the extent to which the modes of elaboration and organization of information on these platforms, operating in digital network contexts, enable broad and effective modalities of citizen action…”

Seismic Characterization of Hypogenic Karst Systems Associated with Deep Hydrothermal Fluids in the Middle-Lower Ordovician Yingshan Formation of the Shunnan Area, Tarim Basin, NW... by Hongtao Zhu, Xiu Zhu, Honghan Chen

“…Furthermore, we infer that the development pattern of hypogenic karst systems has been produced by the interplay of the faults, preexisting epigenic karst systems, and lateral carrier-beds, which together combine the complex hydrothermal migration pathways of fluids with the characteristics of vertical and horizontal combined pathways. In addition, some possible controlling factors (e.g., sequence stratigraphic boundaries, paleogeomorphology, and sedimentary facies) that can influence the development of these hypogenic karst systems have been discussed in detail.…”

La Revolución Mexicana y la creación y disolución de empresas by Aurora Gómez-Galvarriato, Rodrigo Parral Durán

“…Sabemos muy poco sobre el impacto de la Revolución en los distintos sectores de la economía, sin embargo, como mostramos en el texto, no todos fueron afectados de la misma manera, por último, hallamos que la Revolución tuvo un impacto negativo en la duración de las empresas que operaron entre 1900 y 1929 independientemente del horizonte temporal que se analice. Lo anterior tuvo efectos negativos en la acumulación de capital e inversión durante la década de los años veinte. …”

Superposed Epoch Analyses of Geoelectric Field Disturbances in Japan in Response to Different Geomagnetic Activities by T. Zhang, Y. Ebihara

“…The maximum value of ΔE tends to be correlated with the maximum value of ΔH during the three types of events, where ΔH is the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field. Assuming that a quasi‐linear relationship between the maximum ΔE and the maximum ΔH is valid, we estimated GICs at three substations in Japan for an extreme SSCs/SIs, and the extreme magnetic storms. …”
