As part of a European project, and with the aim of involving consumers in guiding research, innovation and policies, a large online survey (n=2,397) and focus groups (n= 82) were carried out in seven countries to gather consumers’ preferences and aversions regarding the use of agrobiodiversity in food chains in relation to their environmental concerns, food consumption practices and knowledge.

Then, the alternative options for using agrobiodiversity in food chains, previously documented as favourable to its conservation and development, received positive votes from a large majority of respondents, regardless of their socio-economic category. However, the research showed that respondents seem to have limited knowledge on the subject.

Anyone can produce political content that can reach a global audience, and social media has become a vital tool for political leaders to convey messages to the electorate. The 2022 Italian election campaign has seen the term “nuclear” debated with two different declinations: on the one hand, regarding nuclear energy for civilian use, and on the other hand, regarding the fear of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine and the use of atomic weapons. This research aims to analyze the social media debate by exploring multiplatform dynamics to qualitatively identify and analyze the connections between social media platforms that we have termed Bridges, a concept drawn from Transmedia Theory to describe the narrative relationship between platforms. The methodological approach will follow an explanatory sequential design that will rely on digital methods to identify connections between platforms (bridges) and then apply an exploratory qualitative approach to enrich the data and capture the nuances of the debate. As expected, we found polarized positions and fragmentation on both issues of civilian nuclear energy and the atomic conflict narrative. Primary evidence shows bridges spreading affective, defective, and infective content across platforms in a multifaceted social media ecosystem. Affective refers to rhetoric that appeals to people’s feelings. Defective means the discussion that brings attention to hyper-partisan news channels, fake news, and misinformation. Infective means bridges with below-the-radar platforms, niche channels, or pseudo-information channels. They use bridges with mainstream platforms to gain the potential to go viral.

The natural capital determines the specific preference for CIS when the financial and economic capitals enable farmers acting according to the information received.

abstract = {Purpose
The global prevalence of social media and its potential to cause polarization are highly debated and impactful. The previous literature often assumes that the ideological bias of any media outlet remains static and exogenous to the polarization process. By studying polarization as a whole from an ecosystem approach, the authors aim to identify policies and strategies that can help mitigate the adverse effects of polarization and promote healthier online discourse.
Design/methodology/approach
To investigate online polarization, the authors perform a systematic review and analysis of approximately 400 research articles to explore the connection between cognitive bias and polarization, examining both causal and correlational evidence. The authors extensively evaluate and integrate existing research related to the correlation between online polarization and crucial factors such as public engagement, selective exposure and political democracy. From doing so, the authors then develop a PolarSphere ecosystem that captures and illustrates the process of online polarization formation.
Findings
The authors' review uncovers a wide range of associations, including ideological cognition, bias, public participation, misinformation and miscommunication, political democracy, echo chambers and selective exposure, heterogeneity and trust. Although the impact of bias on social media polarization depends on specific environments and internal/external conditions, certain variables exhibit strong associations across multiple contexts. The authors use these observations as a basis from which to construct PolarSphere, an ecosystem of bias-based polarization on social media, to theorize the process of polarization formation.
Originality/value
Based on the PolarSphere ecosystem, the authors argue that it is crucial for governments and civil societies to maintain vigilance and invest in further research to gain a deep comprehension of how cognitive bias affects online polarization, which could lead to ways to eliminate polarization.},

The economic agenda and corporate interests can influence and/or drive the public biomedical research agenda, establishing priorities in the study topics. In this work, we analyzed the contents of the cancer research agenda in Argentina, including a comprehensive analysis of the different epistemological dimensions associated with the study of this set of pathologies.
Methods:
A bibliometric analysis was conducted based on 7319 scientific articles published between 1980 and 2023, divided into two periods (1980-2000 and 2001-2023), containing one or more authors with Argentina as their affiliation country. The PubMed database and the CorText platform were used to work with the database and to extract the most frequent multi-terms. Through this extraction, the main categories linked to cancer research, their preponderance in the local research agenda, and the place occupied by approaches linked to the molecular, social, and environmental determinants of cancer could be visualized. The content of this cancer research agenda was represented through co-occurrence networks of the predominant multi-terms found in the articles' titles, keywords, and abstracts.
Results:
The results reflected a strong predominance of methodological approaches associated with molecular and cellular biology. In addition, terms associated with breast cancer had a strong predominance in recent years. The analysis also revealed that the study of socio-environmental factors influencing the development and progression of diseases such as occupational, environmental, and exposure to xenobiotics remained marginal in the cancer research agenda of Argentina during the last four decades.
Conclusions:
It is concluded that the orientation of the Argentine cancer research agenda excludes, with few exceptions, the prevention and study of socio-environmental factors associated with the development and progression of cancer, favoring a reductionist methodological approach anchored in Molecular and Cellular Biology and linked to the development of therapeutic and pharmacological interventions},

To address this question our strategy was to i) reveal the experimental and analytic habits of scientists of different disciplines in the literature, and ii) use "intention" as a vector in an interdisciplinary prospect of the study of NHAs mental states. Our own intention was to outline the specific orientations and possible impasses of the ethological analytical framework which limits the consideration of NHAs intentions. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature published between 2016 and 2020 in two steps: 1. through a first corpus, we identified the terms used in studies of NHAs intentions and 2. on this basis, 111 articles related to intentions in NHAs were selected. By analysing them using a co-occurrences network of the authors’ keywords, ten scientific approaches to intention in NHAs were identified. Our main findings are that i) the term « intention » is very seldom used in studies of NHAs; ii) approaches developed in humans are rarely transposed in these studies; and iii) in such few studies, it is not the NHAs intentions which are under question, but the link between NHAs and human intentions. This study highlights the limitations of the current theoretical framework used to study non-human animals’ cognition, which does not allow for the full spectrum of non-human cognitive specificities.},

Looking at the full set of actors involved in predictive regulatory knowledge – companies, regulatory agencies, modelers working with one or the other – and their concurrent articulations of uncertainty, it appears that regulators audit physiologically based pharmacokinetic models (PBPK, a key class of models used to compute safe chemical doses), because the chemical industry initially introduced them to challenge its methods of risk assessment.

In the face of extended confinement and a looming health crisis, society has had to fundamentally rethink its daily work practices, social relations, family relationship management, and work-life balance. As a result, the radical and abrupt migration to networked platforms has been a disruptive and unprecedented phenomenon. We aimed to investigate the Twitter debate on smart working during the pandemic by focusing mainly on social concerns and thematics related to work-life balance by addressing the following research questions:
- RQ1: How was the topic of smart working debated on Twitter during the Covid19 pandemic (2020-2021) in Italy, and which narratives and issues fuelled the debate the most?
- RQ2: How the public debate has received the Italian government's work-life balance measures?
- RQ3: Which topics were most discussed by women on smart working?
We used Digital Methods to cope with re-proposing data to depict collective phenomena, social transformations, and cultural expressions by analyzing natively digital data on social media platforms. We gathered more than 750.000 tweets between 28 February 2020 and 30 November 2021, and we mapped narratives and communities by using social network analysis. This allowed for the selection of the more intriguing ones to define various sub-datasets on which to conduct a topic modeling study, which aided in understanding more nuanced aspects of the highly fragmented topic.

Face à ce succès des approches en termes de systèmes complexes et plus encore en termes de réseaux complexes dans les sciences économiques et sociales, cet article discute les apports et les limites de ces approches et élabore les conditions d’un usage raisonné et critique de la complexité en sciences sociales.

Using a data set of every tweet () published by 39 US presidential candidates during the 2016 and 2020 primary elections, we extracted moral language and constructed network models illustrating how candidates’ rhetoric is semantically connected. These network models yielded two key discoveries. First, we find that party affiliation clusters can be reconstructed solely based on the moral words used in candidates’ rhetoric. Within each party, popular moral values are expressed in highly similar ways, with Democrats emphasizing careful and just treatment of individuals and Republicans emphasizing in-group loyalty and respect for social hierarchies. Second, we illustrate the ways in which outsider candidates like Donald Trump can separate themselves during primaries by using moral rhetoric that differs from their parties’ common language.

abstract = {Issue des sciences de l’ingénierie, la notion de preuve de concept est définie comme étant une « preuve (généralement issue d’une expérience ou d’un projet pilote) démontrant qu’un concept, une idée, etc., est réalisable » (Oxford English Dictionary, 2014). La philosophe C.E. Kendig affirme qu’au-delà d’une simple réalisation technique, une preuve de concept désigne plus largement « un type particulier de recherche qui vise à poser une question dont la réponse à une applicabilité qui dépasse les frontières des domaines dans lesquels elle a été testée » (Kendig 2016 ; traduit par nos soins).
Dans cet article, nous proposons de réinvestir la notion de crédibilité scientifique pour analyser l’essor des preuves de concept et la place qu’elles occupent dans les sciences de l’ingénierie. Notre parti pris est de prendre au sérieux le terme de « preuve » en faisant l’hypothèse que la preuve de concept constitue un vecteur de crédibilité scientifique central dans les sciences de l’ingénierie en tant qu’elle permet l’alignement, dans une réalisation technique, entre des normes épistémiques et des potentialités économiques. Ce faisant, nous poursuivons un double objectif. D’une part, il s’agit de décrire comment les ingénieur·e·s établissent leur crédibilité en tenant compte de la spécificité des sciences de l’ingénierie, à savoir leur proximité avec le monde industriel et leur orientation vers la production de réalisations techniques. D’autre part, nous souhaitons contribuer au renouveau du débat sur la crédibilité scientifique – un thème central en sociologie des sciences et en STS, si ce n’est « d’une certaine manière, le seul thème » (Shapin, 1995, pp. 257-258) – en nous concentrant sur la manière dont les interactions entre académie et industrie conditionnent la fabrique de la crédibilité scientifique.
Cet article est organisé en cinq parties. La première est consacrée à la présentation de l’essor de la preuve de concept dans les sciences de l’ingénierie au regard d’une discussion théorique sur la crédibilité scientifique à l’ère de l’économie de la connaissance. En actualisant le modèle proposé par Latour et Woolgar du « cycle de crédibilité » (Latour & Woolgar, 1979), nous soutenons que la spécificité des sciences de l’ingénierie et l’essor des nouvelles configurations entre académie et industrie invitent à repenser la manière dont la crédibilité scientifique est analysée. Cela nous amène dans une seconde partie à préciser notre objet d’étude – l’ingénierie métabolique – et à présenter notre approche méthodologique, qui associe analyse de corpus scientifiques, entretiens, observations directes en laboratoire et étude d’archives d’un centre de recherche. Les parties qui suivent constituent le cœur de la démonstration. La troisième montre notamment comment les chercheur·se·s articulent normes épistémiques et enjeux industriels dans les agendas de recherche et dans les publications scientifiques. La quatrième partie se penche sur les trajectoires et motivations des ingénieur·e·s du métabolisme, ainsi que sur les stratégies qu’iels mettent en place afin de gagner en crédibilité. Nous montrons l’importance pour eux/elles d’occuper des positions intermédiaires entre académie et industrie et de mettre en place un dispositif expérimental hybride, entre laboratoire académique et centre de Recherche et Développement (R&D) industriel, dans la quête de crédibilité.
