Le mythe comme fondement des territoires et de l’ordre social dans les îles de l’ouest de Sumatra (Indonésie) by Dominique Guillaud

“…Bonnemaison explored in the field of cultural geography: the relations between myth and territory, the way in which political relationships are inscribed into space and land boundaries, and the role of “geosymbols” as memorials for political and social systems. This demonstration is inspired by the works that Bonnemaison carried out on a privileged field, the archipelago of Vanuatu; the paper explores the same kind of correspondences between political and spatial order in two Indonesian island, Nias and Siberut, and tries to reveal the strategic dimension invested in myths and narratives of foundation.…”

Novel Targets for Anti-Inflammatory Therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease by John L Wallace

“…Until the cause(s) of inflammatory bowel disease are identified, improvements in therapy will likely come from improved anti-inflammatory therapy or improved drug delivery systems. There are many potential targets for anti-inflammatory therapy, including the synthesis of specific inflammatory mediators. …”

Uncertainty, Fear and Action. A Critical Commentary on Patrik Aspers’ Book by Andy Alaszewski

“…In this critical commentary of Patrik Aspers’ book, I consider some of his assumptions that uncertainty is a universal human challenge that can be addressed through systems of mutual adjustments. I argue that a broad approach to risk that acknowledges both its rational knowledge and non-rational elements such as emotion, and combines future orientation with interrogation of the past, provides a way of understanding strategies for managing uncertainty. …”

Bounded Traveling Wave Solutions and Their Relations for the Generalized HD Type Equation by Qing Meng, Bin He

“…The generalized HD type equation is studied by using the bifurcation method of dynamical systems. From a dynamic point of view, the existence of different kinds of traveling waves which include periodic loop soliton, periodic cusp wave, smooth periodic wave, loop soliton, cuspon, smooth solitary wave, and kink-like wave is proved and the sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above solutions in different regions of the parametric space are given. …”

A leaky integrate-and-fire model with adaptation for the generation of a spike train by Aniello Buonocore, Luigia Caputo, Enrica Pirozzi, Maria Francesca Carfora

“…A model is proposed to describe the spike-frequency adaptation observed in many neuronal systems. We assume that adaptation is mainly due to a calcium-activated potassium current, and we consider two coupled stochastic differential equations for which an analytical approach combined with simulation techniques and numerical methods allow to obtain both qualitative and quantitative results about asymptotic mean firing rate, mean calcium concentration and the firing probability density. …”

Network Analysis in Clinical Research in the COVID-19 Context by Cristian Antony Ramos Vera

“…This analysis enables clinical professionals to be in charge of interpreting and translating the information derived from their research into better comprehensive care in the clinical population of interest, allowing them to focus on a specific intervention based on network results, from the perspective of complex model systems. The evaluation of the network consolidates a greater explanation of the various health conditions functioning linked to the COVID-19 impact and expresses how its etiological mechanisms interact with each other.…”
