Le port romain du quartier de Saint-Lupien à Rezé/Ratiatum (Loire-Atlantique) : origine et évolution by Jimmy Mouchard, David Guitton, Martial Monteil, Xavier Favreau, Nicolas Ménez, Matthieu Yacger

“…AD, these constructions were light-weight and relatively modest, mounted on posts, including probable installations of fascines, which then gave way to the installation of much more imposing structures from the end of the 1st c. onward. Henceforth, the whole district underwent a vast program of restructuring which was primarily characterized by the reconstruction and expansion of the warehouses at the top of the riverbank and by the establishment of large terraces built according to the timber box formula at the base of the riverbank. …”

Older men in motion: bodies, masculinities, and redefinition of identity by Gustavo González-Calvo, Alfonso García-Monge, André Ramalho, André Ramalho, Faten Hamdi, Pedro Duarte-Mendes, Pedro Duarte-Mendes

“…This approach allowed for an in-depth exploration of how exercise intersects with notions of masculinity and aging, as well as the barriers and facilitators that shape participation in physical activities.ResultsThe analysis identified three key themes: (1) the transformative role of exercise in fostering emotional well-being and bodily awareness, (2) the renegotiation of traditional masculinity through engagement in non-traditional physical activities, and (3) the social connections cultivated through group-based exercise programs. Additionally, the study highlights social and structural barriers, such as limited access to facilities and economic constraints, which hinder participation in physical activity.DiscussionFindings underscore the significance of physical activity not only for maintaining health but also as a space for identity reconstruction and resistance to conventional narratives of aging. …”

Revisiting the "satisfaction of spatial restraints" approach of MODELLER for protein homology modeling. by Giacomo Janson, Alessandro Grottesi, Marco Pietrosanto, Gabriele Ausiello, Giulia Guarguaglini, Alessandro Paiardini

“…We show that the σ values produced by MODELLER are on average weakly correlated to the true level of structural divergence between target-template pairs and that increasing this correlation greatly improves the program's predictions, especially in multiple-template modeling. …”
