Do social networks bridge political divides? The analysis of VKontakte social network communication in Ukraine

2014

New electronic forms of political communication have become increasingly popular in countries with weak democratic institutions. The effectiveness of these new forms of association in altering political behavior, however, remains uncertain even in developed democratic regimes. This paper investigates connections between regional variation in electoral behavior and regional distribution of electronic social networks in the case of Ukraine's polarized and institutionally unstable democracy. Our analysis of online networks shows that, somewhat contrary to conventional wisdom, electronic communication does not bridge political divides. This finding casts doubt on the effectiveness of online for…

Percutaneous Recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusions : 2019 Consensus Document from the EuroCTO Club

2019

Since its inception in December 2006, the EuroCTO Club has strived to provide the framework for state-of-the-art chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Europe and nearby regions. Among its initiatives, the EuroCTO Club has published a set of recommendations regarding the technical aspects of CTO PCI, whose last edition dates to 2012. The EuroCTO Club consensus document discusses CTO PCI clinical indications, techniques and equipment use, as well as the qualifications of operators/centres. Given the considerable amount of progress made by this subspecialty in recent years, there is a need for an updated document that includes data from recent clinical trial…

Optical quality of hyperopic and myopic phakic intraocular lenses

2013

Aims: To assess and compare the optical quality of the myopic and hyperopic implantable collamer lens (ICL) from its wavefront aberrations for different powers and pupil diameters. Settings and Design: Prospective study. Material and Methods: The wavefront aberrations of two myopic (−3 and −6 diopters (D)) and two hyperopic V4b ICLs (+3 and +6D) were measured in vitro . To assess and compare the optical quality of different powers of ICLs, we analyzed the root mean square (RMS) of total higher order aberrations (HOAs), trefoil, coma, tetrafoil, secondary astigmatism, and spherical aberration at 3- and 4.5-mm pupil. In addition, the point spread functions (PSFs) of each ICL evaluated were ca…

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs)

2021

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a group of tumors that, over the past 15 years, has emerged from a poorly understood neoplasm to a well-defined tumor entity. GISTs are highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy and, in the past, were typically managed surgically.

Le témoin sous la Convention, un instrument de la Terreur

2003

National audience; L'évolution des diverses procédures (civiles, pénales, administratives et militaires) du témoignage sous la Terreur montrent que les témoins sont considérés comme les garants des citoyens patriotes et de la sûreté générale. De plus, le témoin attestant ou le dénonciateur voire le délateur, devient un instrument de la Terreur dans l'épuration de la société par le gouvernement, d'autant plus que les dépositions ont des conséquences tout à fait significatives dans l'initialisation de l'action publique et, en matière pénale, elles peuvent être dramatiques : déportation, saisie des biens, mort civile, peine capitale, dont le nombre ne cesse d'augmenter. La loi du 22 prairial a…

El impacto del cambio climático en la movilidad humana : las migraciones climáticas en el contexto internacional y europeo

2021

For decades, the migration phenomenon has been one of the thorniest regulatory issues in the European Union (EU) policy. In addition, today, the fight against climate change in all regions of the world makes the situation worse for the new ?climate refugees? or ?environmental displaced people?, whose legal status is not yet covered by the ancient 1951 Refugee Convention.

Farming intensity indirectly reduces crop yield through negative effects on agrobiodiversity and key ecological functions

2022

International audience; Farming intensity and landscape heterogeneity influence agrobiodiversity and associated ecological functions. The relative contributions of these agroecosystem components to agricultural production remain unclear because of inter-relations and weather-dependant variations. Using a structural equation modelling approach, we estimated direct and indirect contributions of farming intensity (soil management, pesticide use and fertilisation) and landscape heterogeneity (of semi-natural covers and crop mosaic) to cereal crop production, in 54 fields (mostly wheat), in two years (24 and 30 fields). Indirect effects were evaluated through agrobiodiversity (carabid and plant …
