Dealing with Complexity – Knowledge, design, and management of the built environment by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…How we live, regardless of where this happens, has an impact on the biosphere and determines chain reactions in different areas that affect both nature and human beings on a global scale: climate change, health risks, loss of biodiversity, indiscriminate use of non-renewable resources, inequalities, and accessibility contribute to a condition of ‘polycrysis’ that amplifies the state of uncertainty about our future and the vulnerability of the entire ecosystem, especially since the actions put in place do not address the cogent environmental issue in a systemic and holistic key. …”

Biological embodiment of educational attainment and future risk of breast cancer: findings from a French prospective cohort by Cyrille Delpierre, Raphaële Castagné, Eloïse Berger, Gianluca Severi, Marie-Christine Boutron-Ruault, Laura Baglietto, Laure Dossus, Amandine Gelot, Richard Dudouet

“…Many studies support the hypothesis that education has a distinctive effect on physiological processes associated with health, independently of known risk factors.Objectives In this study, we aimed to determine whether the biological embodiment of education could be part of the observed social inequalities in BC risk. We focused on biomarkers from several physiological systems examined individually, and jointly through a biological health score (BHS).Design Prospective cohort study.Setting This study, based on a subsample of the French E3N cohort, included women with biological data from four nested case–control studies.Participants The study included 3048 postmenopausal women (17% BC).Main outcome measures We first evaluated the association between educational attainment and each biomarker, separately (N=11) and by combining them into a BHS, indicative of an augmented biological health hazard when elevated. …”

Sharing of cmeRABC alleles between C. coli and C. jejuni associated with extensive drug resistance in Campylobacter isolates from infants and poultry in the Peruvian Amazon by Kerry K. Cooper, Evangelos Mourkas, Francesca Schiaffino, Craig T. Parker, Tackeshy N. Pinedo Vasquez, Paul F. Garcia Bardales, Pablo Peñataro Yori, Maribel Paredes Olortegui, Katia Manzanares Villanueva, Lucero Romaina Cachique, Hermann Silva Delgado, Matthew D. Hitchings, Steven Huynh, Samuel K. Sheppard, Ben Pascoe, Margaret N. Kosek

“…While most cmeB alleles segregate by species, alleles associated with high resistance to fluoroquinolones and macrolides were found in both Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. We inferred that the likely ancestry of these alleles was from C. jejuni and was later acquired by C. coli through recombination. …”
