Goût pour les jeux vidéo et goût pour le sport sont souvent opposés : en termes de types d’activités (les premiers d’intérieur, passifs, peu propices à la socialisation, le second de dépense physique, de plein air, bon pour la santé, etc.) ; en termes de genre : les garçons seraient les plus « touchés » par le monde virtuel ; enfin en termes de « politique », la consommation des jeux vidéo étant opposée aux « vraies » pratiques culturelles… Une analyse secondaire de l’enquête sur les loisirs culturels des 6-14 ans fournit un éclairage précis sur la façon dont pratiques numériques virtuelles et pratiques réelles s’opposent, se substituent ou s’articulent : elle met à jour les ressorts qui sont communs aux goûts pour les deux types d’activité et révèle une forte dimension identitaire. Elle met également en évidence la permanence des déterminants sexués en matière de loisirs. La comparaison des interactions qui se nouent dans le monde réel avec les interactions virtuelles qui caractérisent les jeux vidéo dessine de nouvelles approches des phénomènes d’identification affective dans ces derniers. L’importance accordée à l’esthétique des corps virtuels pourrait ainsi être rapprochée de celle prise par l’apparence corporelle dans la construction identitaire des jeunes. Loin de constituer une pratique virtuelle séparée du reste de leur vie, qui serait porteuse d’addiction ou de comportements violents, les jeux vidéo prennent place dans une élaboration de soi à la fois personnelle et sociale qui facilite l’identification à un genre sexué et à un univers culturel. Contrasts are often drawn between the liking for video games and the liking for sport. First, as regards the kind of activity: one passive, indoors, cut off from others; the other physically active, outdoor, healthy, etc. Second, as regards gender: boys are considered to be more allured by the virtual dimension.Third, as regards policy: video game playing is often set against “real” cultural practices.

Biotransformation has accompanied mankind since the Neolithic community, when people settled down and began to engage in agriculture. Modern biocatalysis started in the mid-1850s with the pioneer works of Pasteur. Today, biotransformations have become an indispensable part of our lives, similar to other hi-tech products. Now, in 2019, biocatalysis “received” the Nobel Prize in Chemistry due to prof. Frances H. Arnold’s achievements in the area of the directed evolution of enzymes. This book deals with some major topics of biotransformation, such as the application of enzymatic methods in glycobiology, including the synthesis of hyaluronan, complex glycoconjugates of N-acetylmuramic acid, and the enzymatic deglycosylation of rutin. Enzymatic redox reactions were exemplified by the enzymatic synthesis of indigo from indole, oxidations of β-ketoesters and the engineering of a horse radish peroxidase. The enzymatic reactions were elegantly employed in biosensors, such as glucose oxidase, in the case of electrochemical glucose sensors. Nitrilases are important enzymes for nitrile metabolism in plants and microorganisms have already found broad application in industry—here, these enzymes were for the first time described in Basidiomyceta. This book nicely describes molecular biocatalysis as a pluripotent methodology—“A jack of all trades...”—which strongly contributes to the high quality and sustainability of our daily lives.

For the 250th birthday of Joseph Fourier, born in 1768 in Auxerre, France, this MDPI Special Issue will explore modern topics related to Fourier Analysis and Heat Equation. Modern developments of Fourier analysis during the 20th century have explored generalizations of Fourier and Fourier–Plancherel formula for non-commutative harmonic analysis, applied to locally-compact, non-Abelian groups. In parallel, the theory of coherent states and wavelets has been generalized over Lie groups. One should add the developments, over the last 30 years, of the applications of harmonic analysis to the description of the fascinating world of aperiodic structures in condensed matter physics. The notions of model sets, introduced by Y. Meyer, and of almost periodic functions, have revealed themselves to be extremely fruitful in this domain of natural sciences. The name of Joseph Fourier is also inseparable from the study of the mathematics of heat. Modern research on heat equations explores the extension of the classical diffusion equation on Riemannian, sub-Riemannian manifolds, and Lie groups. In parallel, in geometric mechanics, Jean-Marie Souriau interpreted the temperature vector of Planck as a space-time vector, obtaining, in this way, a phenomenological model of continuous media, which presents some interesting properties. One last comment concerns the fundamental contributions of Fourier analysis to quantum physics: Quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. The content of this Special Issue will highlight papers exploring non-commutative Fourier harmonic analysis, spectral properties of aperiodic order, the hypoelliptic heat equation, and the relativistic heat equation in the context of Information Theory and Geometric Science of Information.

In recent years, various families of fractional-order integral and derivative operators, such as those named after Riemann-Liouville, Weyl, Hadamard, Grunwald-Letnikov, Riesz, Erdelyi-Kober, Liouville-Caputo, and so on, have been found to be remarkably important and fruitful, due mainly to their demonstrated applications in numerous seemingly diverse and widespread areas of the mathematical, physical, chemical, engineering, and statistical sciences. Many of these fractional-order operators provide interesting, potentially useful tools for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as integral, differintegral, and integro-differential equations; fractional-calculus analogues and extensions of each of these equations; and various other problems involving special functions of mathematical physics and applied mathematics, as well as their extensions and generalizations in one or more variables. For this Special Issue, we invite and welcome review, expository, and original research articles dealing with the recent advances in the theory of fractional-order integral and derivative operators and their multidisciplinary applications.
