Solidaridad, libertad y antifranquismo. El activismo transnacional de las mujeres anarquistas en la lucha armada contra la dictadura en los años sesenta by Óscar Freán Hernández

“…En ese sentido, el predominio masculino tanto en la acción directa como en la memoria de aquellos debe ser matizado poniendo de relieve la acción de las numerosas mujeres activistas –Ariane Gransac, Brenda Earl, Julia Hermosilla, Alicia Mur o Eliane Vincileone, por citar algunos ejemplos. En segundo lugar, destacar el compromiso militante antifranquista y por la libertad de un grupo de mujeres cuyas vidas –por razones de exilio y/o militancia– están profundamente marcadas, tanto por sus convicciones internacionalistas como por su acción transnacional sobre el terreno y en el día a día de su activismo.…”

Tending to the Facial Surfaces of a Mathematical Biology Head-Scratcher: Why Does the Head of the Sea Turtle <i>Natator depressus</i> Resemble a Convex Zygomorphic Dodecahedron? by David A. Becker

“…The first example is a zygomorphic tetragonal dodecahedron, while the other, an even better matching structure, is a related tetradecahedron, herein speculated to arise from this particular dodecahedron via known mechanisms gleaned from studies of the behavior of foams. A segmented, biomorphic, convex polyhedral model to address cephalic topology is thus presented stemming from solid geometry, anatomical observations, and a recently computed densest local packing arrangement of fifteen slightly oblate spheroids in which fourteen oblate spheroids surround a central such spheroid. …”

Geodetic data inversion to estimate a strain-rate field by introducing sparse modeling by Yohei Nozue, Yukitoshi Fukahata

“…Next, we apply the proposed method to the GNSS data across the Arima-Takatsuki fault zone, which is one of the most active strike-slip faults in Japan. As a result, the proposed method estimates about $$1.0\times {10}^{-8}$$ 1.0 × 10 - 8 /yr faster strain rates near the fault zone than the L2 regularization method, which corresponds to a 20–30% greater strain-rate concentration. …”

Spatial Organization of Global Value Chains in the Optical and Electronic Equipment Industry by Mikhail Vyacheslavovich Shatunov, Natalia Anatolyevna Navrotskaya

“…The core of the model consists of three mega-level centers of the PRC, the USA and the Republic of Korea, around which three global clusters and three sub-cores have formed, controlled by the main cores, which stand out significantly from the general periphery, the centers of which are Japan, Germany and Taiwan. An analysis of the network’s dynamics over the period under study showed its following features: stability and stability, formation by industry rather than geographical basis, increased involvement in the GVCs between the cores on the one hand and large Asian economies and small European countries on the other. …”
