The digital transformation of justice is the vector of profound change for the litigant. If it can have advantages (speed, accessibility, efficiency), it also presents risks, whether it is the dehumanization of justice or the risk of a digital divide. The study seeks to highlight all the ambivalence of the digital transition in the light of the diversity of litigants.

The article discusses canon law during the 12th and 13th centuries regarding the right to one's body in marriage, with a focus on the definitions proposed through casuistry, the ethical method of case-based reasoning. Topics include the application of legal principles and jurisprudence to the marital law on sexual relations; the role of marital consent in the right to a spouse's body; and the casuistical take on the legal definition of sexual conduct in marriage and the question of obligation in sex within marriage.

Abstract: What are the processes of judgment in a clinical practice? We describe statistical reasoning by EBM and reasoning by case analysis. There is a disagreement between these two ways of operating. On one side, there is a deductive reasoning is based on an average patient, a specific technique and a type of disease. On the other side, an inductive reasoning based on the description of prototypical patient, the context and some procedural rules that are limited in a specific domain. Those modes of reasoning organise two types of debate, based on public and private proof. The description of the procedures of observation of a phenomenon is the principal problem to clarify this disagreement. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

How to implement environmental politics represents a considerable methodological challenge for local authorities. In this context, collective action appears as a strategic tool to stimulate territorial mobilization. But what logics guide environmental communication? How is it constructed? Through the example of a doctoral research conducted within the Urban Community of Bordeaux (UCB) between 2010 and 2013, the article examines the idea of “sentinel” in communication practices of local authorities. Also, it focuses on the importance of linking and territorial anchorage in the process of structuring public action.

This interview with the Argentine historian Darío G. Barriera aims to review the historiographical framework in which the political history of the Catholic Monarchy has developed since the 1990s in the context of Spanish America. The main elements of said framework are the links developed between history and history of law with the idea of jurisdictional power as well as the adaptability of norms and their flexible uses by actors versed in casuistry. This interview provides an opportunity to review the most notable historians and works that have marked Darío G. Barriera between Europe and the Americas.

Purpose: Clinical autopsy rate have been declining since the 1950s, but it remains a useful investigation tool., Methods and Results: Through six examples of our experience, we underline its interest for clinical, didactic and public health purposes., Conclusions: We try to understand the reasons for its decline and, as demonstrated, it can be attributed to a number of factors. These need to be addressed in order to reassert the status of the autopsy as an investigation and audit tool which is crucial to the future effectiveness of modern medicine.
