This paper analyses how the conceptual and therapeutic formation of Japanese traditional medicine (Kampo) has been socially constructed through interactions with popular interpretations of illness. Taking the example of emotion-related disorders, this paper focuses on the changing meaning of constraint (utsu) in Kampo medicine. Utsu was once a name for one of the most frequently cited emotion-r...

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) produced by Treponema pallidum, which mainly affects humans and is able to invade practically any organ in the body. Its infection facilitates the transmission of other STDs. Since the end of the last decade, successive outbreaks of syphilis have been reported in most western European countries. Like other STDs, syphilis is a notifiable disease i...

Uste zen baino askoz estuagoa da burmuinaren eta hizkuntza-gaitasunaren arteko harremana. Hizkuntzak ez dira, inolaz ere, ausaz kateatutako hitz-segidak, elementu-multzo batez osatutako sistema konplexuak baizik. Bestalde, elementu horiek guztiak —fonetika, fonologia, morfologia, morfofonologia, sintaxia, semantika eta pragmatika— ez dira kaotikoki lotzen, une oro elkarrekiko mendekotasuna bait...

We prove the existence of solutions of a coupled PDE-ODE system modeling the interaction of a large slow moving vehicle with the surrounding traffic flow. The model consists in a scalar conservation law with moving density constraint describing traffic evolution coupled with an ODE for the slow vehicle trajectory. The constraint location moves due to the surrounding traffic conditions, which in...
