Carbon dioxide fluxes and the dominant role of vegetation in recently created and reference Gulf Coast marshes by A. Muench, T. Elsey‐Quirk, J. R. White, R. D. DeLaune

“…At similar elevations, S. alterniflora in both the created and reference marshes was a greater C sink than S. patens areas of the reference marsh. Our findings illustrate that establishment of vegetation is critical to promoting C sink functions in created marshes and, notably, species do matter.…”

Communication in Neglected Tropical Diseases' elimination: A scoping review and call for action. by Claudia Nieto-Sanchez, David M Hatley, Mario J Grijalva, Koen Peeters Grietens, Benjamin R Bates

“…<h4>Background</h4>Although the practice of communication is often called upon when intervening and involving communities affected by NTDs, the disciplinary framework of health communication research has been largely absent from NTD strategies. To illustrate how practices conceptualized and developed within the communication field have been applied in the context of NTD elimination, we conducted a scoping review focusing on two diseases currently targeted for elimination by the WHO: lymphatic filariasis and Chagas disease.…”

L’Hôtel-Dieu de Tonnerre. Questions d’architecture by Jacques Boulet

“…La généalogie d’une singularité architecturale est réduite aux dimensions imposantes de l’Hôtel-Dieu, dont le classement au titre de « monument historique », en 1842, autorise la démolition de ce qu’il reste de l’histoire architecturale et urbaine de la Maison-Dieu initiée en 1292 et vouée aux Sept Miséricordes par Marguerite de Bourgogne.Le vestige de la Maison-Dieu participe alors d’une histoire de la monumentalité, où les valeurs mémorielles du document d’architecture qui justifient son devenir monument entrent en tension, sinon en conflit, avec ses valeurs d’usage au sens large.L’ouverture de la nef à des manifestations diverses illustre la pérennité de l’usage cultuel qui demeure (messe d’anniversaire de la mort de Marguerite de Bourgogne), et le passage très lent de l’usage hospitalier, abandonné en 1642, à un usage culturel.Au-delà de la seule vertu d’un grand contenant culturel, l’hospitalité offerte à des installations artistiques éphémères instaure un rapport nouveau à l’architecture de l’édifice, un sens nouveau du monument, de nouvelles perceptions de sa monumentalité. …”
