abstract = {Taking as a point of departure the role that the category of frailty increasingly plays in the classification, sorting and management of ageing populations in contemporary societies, this paper examines how the onset of Covid-19—as a disease posing the most risk to older adults—affected scientific knowledge production on frailty. Drawing on a theoretically driven network mapping of scientific literature on frailty before and after the pandemic, the paper traces emergent shifts in the evolution of two key discourses of frailty, namely that of the accumulation of deficits and the phenotype, respectively. Our analysis identifies an increased enrolment of frailty as a clinical, prognostic category post-Covid, underpinned by the deficit accumulation model and its key instrument, the frailty index. In parallel, we observe the continuation of laboratory and experimental research on frailty, as aligned with the phenotype approach. We note that in comparison to before Covid, this shift seems to be taking place across a more diversified scientific terrain, with the field of geriatrics playing a central, mediating role between distinct-yet-relational articulations of frailty—those tied to the clinic on one end, and the lab on the other.},

abstract = {Background As global cancer incidence and mortality rise, digital twin technology in precision medicine offers new opportunities for cancer treatment.

Objective This study aims to systematically analyze the current applications, research trends, and challenges of digital twin technology in tumor therapy, while exploring future directions.

Methods Relevant literature up to 2024 was retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, and other databases. Data visualization was performed using R and VOSviewer software. The analysis includes the research initiation and trends, funding models, global research distribution, sample size analysis, and data processing and artificial intelligence applications. Furthermore, the study investigates the specific applications and effectiveness of digital twin technology in tumor diagnosis, treatment decision-making, prognosis prediction, and personalized management.

Results Since 2020, research on digital twin technology in oncology has surged, with significant contributions from the United States, Germany, Switzerland, and China. Funding primarily comes from government agencies, particularly the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. Sample size analysis reveals that large-sample studies have greater clinical reliability, while small-sample studies emphasize technology validation. In data processing and artificial intelligence applications, the integration of medical imaging, multi-omics data, and AI algorithms is key. By combining multimodal data integration with dynamic modeling, the accuracy of digital twin models has been significantly improved.

However, the integration of different data types still faces challenges related to tool interoperability and limited standardization. Specific applications of digital twin technology have shown significant advantages in diagnosis, treatment

decision-making, prognosis prediction, and surgical planning.

Conclusion Digital twin technology holds substantial promise in tumor therapy by optimizing personalized treatment plans through integrated multimodal data and dynamic modeling. However, the study is limited by factors such as language restrictions, potential selection bias, and the relatively small number of published studies in this emerging field, which may affect the comprehensiveness and generalizability of our findings. Moreover, issues related to data heterogeneity, technical integration, and data privacy and ethics continue to impede its broader clinical application. Future research should promote international collaboration, establish unified interdisciplinary standards, and strengthen ethical regulations to accelerate the clinical translation of digital twin technology in cancer treatment.},

abstract = {Gender and sustainability are crucial in agriculture, which remains a significant source of global employment. However, urbanization, industrialization, and technological advancements have reshaped the sector, impacting labor dynamics and gender roles. Traditional agricultural labor faces challenges due to low wages, physically demanding tasks, and unfavorable working conditions. Addressing gender disparities and promoting inclusive work environments is essential for achieving sustainability. According to the ILO (International Labour Office) decent work encompasses productivity and equal employment opportunities for both genders. This study aims to review the literature on gender, sustainability and agricultural development using a bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed articles. The findings identify five main research domains: gender dynamics and roles, agriculture and climate change, sustainability and development, human and labor dynamics, and environmental and technological aspects. Additionally, four key scientific communities led the research: Gender studies, agricultural economics, environmental management, and rural sociology. Emerging research trends focus on gender roles in sustainable farming, environmental innovation, and labor governance in agriculture. Spain, the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada lead in knowledge production, contributing significantly to these research domains. This review highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to address the complex issues of gender and sustainability in agriculture. It also specifies a target for expectations research, highlighting that the ILO’s definition of appropriate employment can guide efforts to improve gender equity and labor conditions, ultimately supporting sustainable development in the agricultural sector.},

abstract = {Cet article étudie les débats dans la presse nationale française autour de la notion de sobriété énergétique au cours des 15 dernières années. À partir d’une analyse mobilisant l’outil CorText, il suit la manière dont la notion de sobriété a fait l’objet de problématisations successives durant la période 2009-2021, et il examine les transformations qui se sont opérées avec la crise énergétique de 2022. Il met ainsi en évidence les formes de politisation qui se déploient autour de l’envolée des prix des énergies et des risques de ruptures de l’approvisionnement énergétique, ainsi que des formes de gouvernement de la sobriété déployées en 2022. Il questionne enfin les figures de la sobriété comme objet de discussion politique et morale ou comme composante des trajectoires des innovations pour l’énergie et le climat telles qu’elles apparaissent dans la presse. },
