abstract = {In Europe, there is an increasing interest in pulses both for their beneficial effects in cropping systems and for human health. However, despite these advantages, the acreage dedicated to pulses has been declining and their diversity has reduced, particularly in European temperate regions, due to several social and economic factors. This decline has stimulated a political debate in the EU on the development of plant proteins. By contrast, in Southern countries, a large panel of minor pulses is still cropped in regional patterns of production and consumption. The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential for cultivation of minor pulses in European temperate regions as a complement to common pulses. Our assumption is that some of these crops could adapt to different pedoclimatic conditions, given their physiological adaptation capacity, and that these pulses might be of interest for the development of innovative local food chains in an EU policy context targeting protein autonomy. The research is based on a systematic review of 269 papers retrieved in the Scopus database (1974–2019), which allowed us to identify 41 pulses as candidate species with protein content higher than 20% that are already consumed as food. For each species, the main agronomic (e.g., temperature or water requirements) and nutritional characteristics (e.g., proteins or antinutritional contents) were identified in their growing regions. Following their agronomic characteristics, the candidate crops were confronted with variability in the annual growing conditions for spring crops in Western European temperate areas to determine the earliest potential sowing and latest harvest dates. Subsequently, the potential sum of temperatures was calculated with the Agri4cast database to establish the potential climatic suitability. For the first time, 21 minor pulses were selected to be grown in these temperate areas and appear worthy of investigation in terms of yield potential, nutritional characteristics or best management practices. },

abstract = {While intentions are commonly assessed in humans, this is not the case in non-human animals, which may limit the accuracy of the assessment of their welfare status, which depends, in particular, on whether their expectations are met. Our assumption is that the current approaches in ethology do not take into consideration the possibility that animals have intentions. Our objective is to find the way to evaluate animal intentions. Method: We have developed a two-steps method: i) a bibliometric investigation to identify and select key approaches to study intention within a team gathering ethologists, psychologists and epistemologists. ii) The key approaches identified were confronted to current practices in ethology through three one-day interdisciplinary workshops, gathering 21 researchers in ethology, psychology, law, philosophy, veterinary, learning sciences, management sciences and design. Each workshop had three stages: a disciplinary assessment, an interdisciplinary prospect and a collective design. Results: Step 1: In Scopus database from the 2016-2020, we extracted 89 000 papers with intention in title and keywords. Only 1% of them were explicitly dealing with intention in non-human animals. We analysed the co-occurrence of the authors’ keywords of this 1% papers, to specify the scientific approaches with the CorText Platform. We found 10 discrepant approaches: behavioural flexibility & social context; human-animal interaction & domestication; mirror neuron & language; flexibility & meaning; self-domestication & disease; comparative cognition & auditory; handedness & manipulation; brain evolution & cultural evolution; antiphony & duets and teaching & tradition. All are relative to what we know about human intention, none was specific of what could be non-human animal intention. Step 2: The 3 workshops were successful. Disciplinary assessment: all participants translated the ten approaches into relevant scientific concepts, method and questions in their own discipline. Interdisciplinary prospect: split in groups, participants co-elaborated a hypothesis to study animal intentions based on the combination of concepts, methods and questions gathered on 3 of 10 approaches. Here are three examples: H1. Intention is not directly accessible, but it can be expressed through behavioural adaptations in the relationship. H2. The study of the environment effects on interactions reveals intentions. H3. Interactions have different repercussions on the maintenance or emission or even the valence of the behaviour or intention. Collective design: 7 protocols to test the hypothesis were developed. We will present the overall outputs of the workshops and discuss the power of hypothesis and protocols to prevent anthropocentric approaches when studying animal intention.},

abstract = {There is a push for integrating concepts of sustainability and sustainable development in engineering education. The U.S. National Society of Professional Engineers’ Code of Ethics expects engineers “to adhere to the principles of sustainable development in order to protect the environment for future generations”. This push has resulted in significant research and efforts to reform engineering curricula to focus on sustainable development, or the “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” in the 1987 Brundtland Commission’s report. Such research and reform efforts can manifest in several forms and contexts, and it can be difficult to obtain a broader picture of how engineering education as a whole is progressing in this area. To help provide a view of that picture, this paper strives to understand the recent trends in engineering education research for sustainable development by analyzing the relationships between the increasingly popular topics of sustainability and sustainable development and how they have evolved over the past two decades.
Using text network analysis, a natural language processing technique, this study explores the thematic structure of scholarly publications that address the integration of sustainability and/or sustainable development in engineering courses, across curricula and across disciplines. In particular, we extract the thematic structure of over 1,500 abstracts of conference proceedings published in the American Society of Engineering Education related to this issue. With the aid of co-occurrence network maps and epoch trend analysis, we identify the major topics among these engineering education studies. Analyses of these trends indicate that the topics of sustainability and sustainable development have been consistently addressed primarily in civil engineering education research for the past two decades. This implies that these topics have not appeared in many other disciplinary areas of research. In addition, renewable energy is one of the more prevalent topics within the area of engineering education for sustainable development.

As such, the paper seeks to explore how critical discussions of network maps can become a ‘prototype for mobilization’ (cf. Jimenéz 2014) for mapped subjects and entities to collectively evaluate and re-invent both their position in a controversy and their means, methods, and tactics for obtaining public impact. This methodological experiment is framed through a discussion of the experience of participation (Kelty 2018) and ethical attunement and world-building among activists (Zigon 2018), and argues for the potentials for collaborative methods and interventionist use of digital cartography in the field of controversy mapping in relation to the green transition.

We also measure the disciplinary diversity of COVID-19 related papers published from January to December 2020; the disciplinary variety shows an upward trend, while the degree of disciplinary balance shows a downward trend. Meanwhile, the comprehensive index 2Ds demonstrates that the degree of interdisciplinarity in coronavirus field decreases between 1990 and 2019, but it increases in 2020.

As a corrective to this approach, we endorse a meaning-structure institutionalism that conceives institutional concepts in relational terms and use a method of textual analysis — semantic network analysis — to analyze and formally model the shifting meaning of human rights in peace agreement texts. We show that human rights language in peace agreements has undergone multiple qualitative shifts since its initial emergence in the mid-1980s. Specifically, the term human rights occupies a marginal position in peace agreement texts in the 1990s, is used in reference to and thus bridges multiple substantive themes in the 2000s, and, finally, inhabits a conceptual silo in the 2010s in the sense that it is associated with many concepts within but no concepts outside of a semantic community related to rights and democracy. We discuss implications for world polity theories of institutionalism that follow from our relational framework.},

Specifically, the term human rights occupies a marginal position in peace agreement texts in the 1990s, is used in reference to and thus bridges multiple substantive themes in the 2000s, and, finally, inhabits a conceptual silo in the 2010s in the sense that it is associated with many concepts within but no concepts outside of a semantic community related to rights and democracy. We discuss implications for world polity theories of institutionalism that follow from our relational framework.

We then identify avenues for further research, highlighting the impact of intensive farming on ecosystems.

AFNs have developed in parallel to prosumption, which is significant because AFNs are oriented towards localized and direct relationships between producers and consumers, while prosumption explains the hybridization of the consumer into a more complex and productive actor. Scholars argue that producer-consumer reconnections enable greater transparency and information exchange between the two types of actors. In addition, digitalization has recently brought new perspectives for both prosumption and AFN research. We explain the digital food prosumption phenomenon by drawing upon several years of research on an alternative food network with strong digital focus – La Ruche qui dit Oui!. As a decentralized network of local food operations that converge around a digital platform, it provides innovative virtual-material mediations between producers and consumers. This suggests that increasingly, consumers may be getting more deeply engaged in the (co-)production of commodities across different sectors and activities. Thus, while the prosumption and AFN literatures have mostly existed in parallel, future efforts should be made to intersect these two areas of sociological research. This is particularly pertinent today, as both prosumption and AFN phenomena are now increasingly mediated by powerful digital technologies. In the digital age, the alternative food prosumer phenomenon may well contribute to reconfiguring global food flows and industrial cultures towards sustainability.},

abstract = {The aim of this study is to present the nature of interdisciplinary collaboration in precision medicine based on co-occurrences and social network analysis. A total of 7544 studies about precision medicine, published between 2010 and 2019, were collected from the Web of Science database. We analyzed interdisciplinarity with descriptive statistics, co-occurrence analysis, and social network analysis. An evolutionary graph and strategic diagram were created to clarify the development of streams and trends in disciplinary communities. The results indicate that 105 disciplines are involved in precision medicine research and cover a wide range. However, the disciplinary distribution is unbalanced. Current cross-disciplinary collaboration in precision medicine mainly focuses on clinical application and technology-associated disciplines. The characteristics of the disciplinary collaboration network are as follows: (1) disciplinary cooperation in precision medicine is not mature or centralized; (2) the leading disciplines are absent; (3) the pattern of disciplinary cooperation is mostly indirect rather than direct. There are 7 interdisciplinary communities in the precision medicine collaboration network; however, their positions in the network differ. Community 4, with disciplines such as genetics and heredity in the core position, is the most central and cooperative discipline in the interdisciplinary network. This indicates that Community 4 represents a relatively mature direction in interdisciplinary cooperation in precision medicine. Finally, according to the evolution graph, we clearly present the development streams of disciplinary collaborations in precision medicine. We describe the scale and the time frame for development trends and distributions in detail. Importantly, we use evolution graphs to accurately estimate the developmental trend of precision medicine, such as biological big data processing, molecular imaging, and widespread clinical applications.},

We conduct a bibliometric analysis based on the widely used database Web of Science, covering the period of 1992 to 2018.

Our main line of research is to observe the discrepancy between the importance of the funding modes in reality and their share in the literature. The critical appraisal of our results highlights that the literature does not reflect the diversity of renewable energy finance. Most studies focus on market-based policy instruments used to support renewable energy development in developed countries. Conversely, few studies of direct financing flows from the public and private sectors were found, while private sources provide an important part of renewable energy investment globally. Furthermore, the literature generally focuses on mature renewable electricity technologies (solar and wind). Our dynamic analysis reveals that private investment is an emerging subject.
