« L’attention littéraire » dans les textes d’Alessandro Mendini (1931-2019) : une traduction permanente vers le projet by Catherine Geel

“…The designer’s written matter, complex and ultimately highly organised, is not content to explain the man or the work, it is the very matter of his design work: the text goes beyond the unveiling of his main theoretical concepts of “sentimental robot”, “cynical man”, “decorative man”, and “natural object body”. Without lingering on these concepts which were the subject of introductions to the texts of the work Alessandro Mendini. …”

Sequential Defense Strategies: From Ant Recruitment to Leaf Toughness by Danilo F. B. dos Santos, Eduardo S. Calixto, Helena M. Torezan-Silingardi, Kleber Del-Claro

“…However, leaf defense shifts during leaf development, including extrafloral nectaries (EFNs), are neglected in natural tropical systems. To address this gap, our study evaluates the shifts in defense strategies of <i>Eriotheca gracilipes</i>, focusing on extrafloral nectaries and leaf toughness across leaf development stages. …”

A Framework for Developing Biodiversity Conservation Networks Based on Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis and the Maximum Entropy Model: A Case Study of the Jianghan Plain, Chi... by Xiaohua Guo, Chang Liu, Shibo Bi, Xuewen Zhang

“…Our findings indicated the following: (1) The Jianghan Plain hosts 21 major ecological sources, primarily natural water bodies at the plain’s edge, which can be classified into five primary and 16 secondary sources based on biodiversity grades. (2) The recessive corridors, comprising 10 primary and 95 secondary ones, are mainly concentrated in the central Jianghan Plain, with primary corridors located centrally and westward, characterized by a large overall span. (3) Changhu Lake and Honghu Lake, two critical water bodies with high-quality habitats and significant biodiversity, were identified as key ecological nodes from the ecological sources, bridging and guiding the central and southern corridors. (4) Based on the ecological network distribution and key nodes and corridors, a “three zones, three belts, and two points” strategy was proposed for optimizing the Jianghan Plain’s ecological network. …”

Tratados internacionales, interpretación y búsqueda de significados: Un enfoque complementario by ANDRÉS TÉLLEZ-NUÑEZ

“…Para lograr dicho objetivo, el artículo propone una hipótesis de trabajo que cuestiona la suficiencia del contractualismo y del originalismo para explicar la juridicidad del derecho internacional de los tratados y, bajo la asunción platónica consistente en que el derecho coincide en la práctica con la política, afirma que el proceso de interpretación y construcción de la norma supondrá llenar de significado los términos y definiciones de un tratado, que no son estáticos, sino dinámicos, pero según las vivencias de los Estados y de conformidad con lineamientos provistos por la razón natural. Mediante la utilización de un método hermenéutico-analítico, el autor concluye que puede existir una nueva forma de interpretar los tratados que esté en relación directa con la vivencia de la norma jurídica internacional y que cuestiona tanto el contractualismo como el originalismo como posturas que explican su fundamento.…”
