Thiamine (vitamin B1) is an essential molecule for all living organisms. It is the precursor for several phosphorylated derivatives, the most important being the coenzyme thiamine diphosphate (ThDP). Thiamine is transported into cells by specific transporters and pyrophosphorylated to ThDP in the cytosol. ThDP is an essential cofactor for cellular oxidative energy metabolism. Thiamine deficiency disorders lead to severe nervous system lesion and cardiac failure. ThDP is the precursor for two triphosphorylated derivatives, thiamine triphosphate and adenosine thiamine triphosphate, with unknown function but present in all three kingdoms of life. [less ▲]

Des naissances rationnellement planifiées, la contraception technologique comme règle, l’avortement comme exception : ces normes de la « modernité » reproductive occidentale ont pu être définies par contraste avec l’« avant » et l’« ailleurs » d’une fécondité « prétransition démographique » incontrôlée. Toutefois, de nombreux travaux permettent de déconstruire cette opposition tradition/modernité, ainsi que la hiérarchisation moralisatrice entre la contraception et l’avortement. Par ailleurs, pour comprendre l’histoire de la politisation de la régulation des naissances – de Malthus au « planning familial » et aux « droits reproductifs », en passant par l’eugénisme et le féminisme –, il importe de prendre en compte non seulement des enjeux de genre, mais aussi de classe et de race. Ces politisations prennent des significations différentes selon les aires géographiques et les époques, et ont donné matière à diverses politiques d’interdiction, d’imposition ou d’encadrement du contrôle des naissances, ciblant avant tout les femmes. La circulation de modèles hégémoniques joue un rôle important : par exemple, au Sud, on peut constater la répression du contrôle des naissances via la colonisation, puis des politiques de diffusion de la contraception via les organisations internationales, tandis que les pays sous influence soviétique ont été les pionniers de la légalisation de l’avortement.

Giulio Castellani was an Italian nobleman, Aristotelian scholar, and clergyman born in Faenza, Italy, who is mostly known for his Adversus M. Tullii Ciceronis academicas quaestiones disputatio (1558) where Castellani defended dogmatic Aristotelianism against Cicero’s Academica and Skepticism in general as exposed by the influential humanist Francesco Pico della Mirandola. Castellani also published a book entitled De humano intellectu libri III in Bologne in 1561, where he gave an important contribution to the controversy on the immortality of the soul raised by Pomponazzi and Averroism. In this book, Castellani favors Alexandrist positions against the trend of Simplician Averroism defended by the Paduan scholar Marcantonio Genua. As a professor, Giulio Castellani taught at the Academia degl’Invaghiti in Mantua where he lectured on Aristotle’s Ethics at the beginning of the 1560s. At the end of his life, he received the chair of philosophy at the Sapienza University in Rome. Castellani also developed an important career in Italian religious institutions. Named Canon of the Cathedral of Faenza by Pope Pie V in 1571, he was later appointed Bishop of Cariati (Calabria) by Pope Sixtus V, but he died in October 1586 just before being consecrated.

The 19th century was a century represented by its actors as one of irreversible progress – one that the advance of the sciences was driving towards an increasingly developed future. In this future, it was thought, knowledge would allow man to emancipate himself once and for all; he would be freed from the heaviest and most punishing tasks, which would be carried out by machines and other new technologies. The control of fossil fuels allowed for the invention of the train, and electricity appeared, as did photography and the telegraph. Medicine progressed. Scientific research permitted an increasing number of illnesses to be cured and treated through, for example, the first vaccines, which were enabled by Pasteur’s discoveries. Amid this effervescence, science found itself placed at the centre of all scholarly thought, ripe for theorisation. The advances of chemistry, physics and biology fascinated those who Honneth has rightly called philosophers of the social (1994). And at the time, more than one of these philosophers envisaged the application of natural science’s methods to the study of human societies. The idea that it is possible to identify the principal natural laws that govern the development of human groups – just like it is possible to identify the laws that govern the physical world (in order to control it) – gained ground. Saint-Simon (1760-1825), envisaged a social physiology whose task would be to observe social phenomena as we observe natural phenomena. But it was Auguste Comte (1798-1857) who, theorising what we still understand today as sociology, would endorse the particular stand of social philosophy that constituted positivism. [less ▲]

A semantic map is a method for visually representing cross-linguistic regularity or universality in semantic structure. This method has proved attractive to typologists because it provides a convenient graphical display of the interrelationships between meanings or functions across languages, while (at the same time) differentiating what is universal from what is language-specific. The semantic map model was initially conceived to describe patterns of polysemy (or, more generally, of co-expression) in grammatical categories. However, several studies have shown that it can be fruitfully extended to lexical items and even constructions, suggesting that any type of meaning can be integrated in a map. The main idea of the method is that the spatial arrangement of the various meanings reflects their degree of (dis)similarity: the more similar the meanings, the closer they are placed—in accordance with the so-called connectivity hypothesis. Within the semantic map tradition, closeness has taken different forms depending on the approach adopted. In classical semantic maps (alternative terms: “first generation,” “implicational,” “connectivity” maps), the relation between meanings is represented as a line. This is the graph-based approach. In proximity maps (alternative terms: “similarity,” “second generation,” “statistical,” “probabilistic” maps), the distance between two meanings in space— represented as points—indicates the degree of their similarity. In this scale- or distance-based approach, the maps are constructed using multivariate statistical techniques, including the family of methods known as multidimensional scaling (MDS). Both classical and proximity maps have been widely used, although the latter have recently gained interest and popularity under the assumption that they can cope with large data more efficiently than classical semantic maps. However, classical semantic maps continue to be useful for studies aiming to discover universal semantic structures. Most importantly, classical maps can integrate information about directionality of change by drawing an arrow on the line connecting two meanings or functions. Beyond the choice between the two types of maps, one of the issues that has sparked debate and critical reflection among researchers is the universal relevance of semantic maps. The main question that these researchers address is whether semantic maps reflect the global geography of the human mind. Another much discussed issue is the identification of the factors that increase the accuracy of semantic maps in a way that allows for valid cross‐linguistic generalizations. Such factors include the choice of a representative language sample, the quality of the collected cross‐linguistic material, and the establishment of valid cross-linguistic comparators.

Les transitions que le droit va être chargé de porter sont inclusivement alimentaire, agricole, culturelle, environnementale, politique, constitutionnelle, économique, sociale, citoyenne... Le rôle du droit dans leur réalisation est à la fois institutionnel, processuel et substantiel. En outre, elles interrogent pour le moins ces piliers du droit que sont le contrat, la propriété, la concurrence comme moyens de mettre en cohérence une société humaine et l'environnement naturel dont cette société fait partie. Sans oublier que les transitions couvrent tout l'espace que le droit recouvre, depuis le plus petit des territoires jusqu'à la dimension mondiale. La perspective juridique, qui fait l'originalité de cet ouvrage, se conjugue ainsi avec le souci de faire bénéficier le droit de l'éclairage des autres disciplines. Il s'agit aussi bien des sciences de la nature, permettant d'établir les faits qui entrent dans le présupposé des règles de droit, que des autres sciences sociales qui poussent et accompagnent les transitions en imaginant des concepts innovants qui restent à traduire en termes juridiques.
