Approaching Empedocles through PWL practices by Lucio Angelo Privitello

“…To approach the poem-fragments of Empedocles as a discourse emerging from the drama of living, is to allow their performatively theorized snapshots to return from mere stills to moving images of practice in modulated stages of training. This study will propose two ways of approach: aesthetically, and as a transformative spiritual exercise (askēsis). …”

Regulatory Role of CD4+ T Cells in Myocarditis by Daria Vdovenko, Urs Eriksson

“…Interestingly, recent observations point out that various CD4+ T cell subsets demonstrate high plasticity in maintaining immune homeostasis and modulating disease phenotypes in myocarditis. These subsets include Th1 and Th17 effector cells and regulatory T cells, despite the fact that there are still sparse and controversial data on the specific role of FOXP3-expressing Treg in myocarditis. …”

Effects of (±) 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) on Sleep and Circadian Rhythms by Una D. McCann, George A. Ricaurte

“…In particular, MDMA has been found to damage brain serotonin (5-HT) neurons in a variety of animal species, including nonhuman primates, with growing evidence that humans are also susceptible to MDMA-induced brain 5-HT neurotoxicity. 5-HT is an important modulator of sleep and circadian rhythms and, therefore, individuals who sustain MDMA-induced 5-HT neurotoxicity may be at risk for developing chronic abnormalities in sleep and circadian patterns. …”

Social Reality in Discourse of «Objectification Turn» by I. V. Katerny

“…Recent decades of social change feature the transformation of initially non-social substance (material objects, virtual images, cyber-messages, as well as natural disasters) into active modulators of social processes. This results in the "postsocial relations", that is social enaction of various kinds of objects, which leads to the fact that non-human, non-living and even non-physical objects are increasingly replacing humans as partners to communicate with and deeply mediating social relations, making the latter dependent on them. …”
