The Political Economy of Tourism in Brazil (2003-2016): a “Positive” yet still Neoliberal Agenda? by Thiago Duarte Pimentel, Mariana Pereira Chaves Pimentel, Marcela Costa Bifano de Oliveira, Dominic Lapointe

“…In this conceptual paper, we develop a comprehensive analytical framework to examine the political economy of tourism (PET), aiming to integrate and go beyond the partial analyses conducted so far. To illustrate our model, we used secondary data from the period of the Workers’ Party governments in Brazil (Luís Inácio Lula da Silva, 2003–2010, and Dilma Rousseff, 2011–2016), as previous studies indicate that this period was marked by a notable increase and qualitative shift in the tourism sector in Brazilian history. …”

Gestion des sols et des substrats pour la nature et l’agriculture urbaines à Strasbourg : vers un renouvellement des représentations et des pratiques des circulations de matière ?... by Adrien Baysse-Lainé, Laure Cormier, Kevin Gaulier

“…Soil inputs from outside the sites in development are part of a linear economy, while the production of soil amendments (primarily compost) from urban waste illustrates the trend towards a circular economy. As a result, the in situ management of inherited soils remains limited to community gardens and a joint development zone (in French zone d’aménagement concerté or ZAC) due to economic reasons and emerging political constraints. …”

Characterizing the omics landscape based on 10,000+ datasets by Eva Brombacher, Oliver Schilling, Clemens Kreutz

“…We were able to show patterns of data characteristics specific to the investigated omics types and provide a tool that enables researchers to assess how representative a given omics dataset is for its respective discipline. Moreover, we illustrate how data characteristics can impact analyses at the example of normalization in the presence of sample-dependent proportions of missing values. …”
