Le jardin urbain de la Grande Bibliothèque : lieu ouvert et espace contesté by Louis Jacob

“…It is suggested that the urban park is opening out to the city, in the midst of a contradictory discursive space. The article illustrates how the artistic strategies, the pressure of the urban network, the development and revitalization projects in the nearby area, the practices and the memories of the place, all of those dimensions are heading for the “reframing” of the park as meaningfull structure, and of the whole spectacle of the city spreading inside and outside.…”

L’éducation au politique sur des questions socialement vives (QSV) liées au développement durable (DD) et aux objectifs de développement durable (ODD) by Alain Legardez, Maryse Cadet-Mieze, Agnieszka Jeziorski

“…Many authors interested in this topic are concerned with education for a political eco-citizenship from a transformative-critical perspective. We propose to illustrate these relationships by studying issues related to education for sustainable development (ESD), from a didactic perspective, and more specifically by the presentation-discussion of a collaborative training-action-research: the FECODD project (Training, Education and Skills and Sustainable Development Goals). …”

An Approach of Lebesgue Integral in Fuzzy Cone Metric Spaces via Unique Coupled Fixed Point Theorems by Muhammad Talha Waheed, Saif Ur Rehman, Naeem Jan, Abdu Gumaei, Mabrook Al-Rakhami

“…In this paper, we establish some new fuzzy cone contractive type unique coupled fixed point theorems (FP-theorems) in fuzzy cone metric spaces (FCM-spaces) by using “the triangular property of fuzzy cone metric” and present illustrative examples to support our main work. In addition, we present a Lebesgue integral type mapping application to get the existence result of a unique coupled FP in FCM-spaces to validate our work.…”

A metapopulation model for sylvatic T. cruzi transmission with vector migration by Britnee Crawford, Christopher Kribs-Zaleta

“…This study presents a metapopulation model for the sylvatic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease, across multiple geographical regions and multiple overlapping host-vector transmission cycles.Classical qualitative analysis of the model and several submodels focuses on the parasite's basic reproductive number, illustrating how vector migration across patches and multiple transmission routes to hosts (including vertical transmission) determine the infection's persistence in each cycle.Numerical results focus on trends in endemic [equilibrium] persistence levels as functions of vector migration rates, and highlight the significance of the different epidemiological characteristics of transmission in each of the three regions.…”
