L’agriculture itinérante sur brûlis, une menace sur la forêt tropicale humide ? by Serge Bahuchet, Jean-Marie Betsch

“…The perception of the agriculture on slash-and-burn field by the majority of agronomists and ecologists is so uniformly negative: archaic, destructive for the forest, unproductive, dangerous even for the future of the planet.Another logical reference, the durability of the practices, must be investigated: in agriculture, the durability must be economically viable, socially acceptable and ecologically solid (Conway 1987) that we can translate by the capacity of an agroecosystem to maintain a stable long-term production based on an ecological, social and economic solidity/validity. …”

Empirical Analysis of the Impact of the Internet on Social Trust in Chinese Provinces during 2016-2020 by Li Zhengrong, Guo Mengyao, Wang Fang

“…Fourth, the "dual-sided" effect of online social networking, as observed in this study, is manifested in its deleterious impact on trust within established social circles while simultaneously exerting a constructive influence on trust in individuals outside one's immediate network, thereby exemplifying the role of the Internet as a double-edged sword, where its capacity to both enhance and undermine trust depends on the nature of the interaction and the context in which it occurs. …”

The Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Antimelanoma Immunity Depend on the Timing of Their Administration by Dragana Miloradovic, Dragica Miloradovic, Bojana Simovic Markovic, Aleksandar Acovic, Carl Randall Harrell, Valentin Djonov, Nebojsa Arsenijevic, Vladislav Volarevic

“…On the contrary, MSCs, injected 14 days after melanoma induction (B16F10+MSC14d-treated mice), promoted tumor growth by suppressing antigen-presenting properties of tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages and by reducing tumoricidal capacity of NK cells and T lymphocytes. Significantly higher plasma levels of TGF-β and IL-10, remarkably lower plasma levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ, and significantly reduced number of tumor-infiltrating, I-A-expressing, and IL-12-producing macrophages, CD80- and I-A-expressing DCs, granzyme B-expressing CTLs and NK cells, IFN-γ- and IL-17-producing CTLs, CD4+Th1, and Th17 cells were observed in B16F10+MSC14d-treated animals. …”
