Recently, the notion of spatial justice has been discussed as a possible conceptual foundation for rethinking EU Cohesion Policy. While scholars have adopted dual distributive and procedural understanding justice, paper argues that, applied to cross-border areas, such conceptualisation is challenged explain how border contributes disparities. We argue that actively questioning role law paramoun...

The United States-Mexico Border is 3,183 km long, running overland for 1,117 km and along rivers for 2,066 km (see Figure 1). Geographically, the border area is a desert plain broken by a mountainous zone in the region of the two Californias. The border’s highest altitude is 1,200 meters above sea level, which is reached where the border passes by Dtiuglas, Arizona (U.S.A.) and Agua Prieta, Son...

Nearly one-third of the world's population is infected with latent tuberculosis (LTBI). Tuberculosis (TB) rates in the border states are higher than national rates in both the US and Mexico, with the border accounting for 30% of total registered TB cases in both countries. However, LTBI rates in the general population in Mexican border states are unknown. In this region, LTBI is diagnosed using...

BACKGROUND Workforce and leadership development is imperative for the advancement of public health along the U.S./Mexico border. The Leaders across borders (LaB) program aims to train the public health and health-care workforce of the border region. The LaB is a 6-month intensive leadership development program, which offers training in various areas of public health. Program curriculum topics i...

Psychophysical studies suggest that figure-ground organization is a largely autonomous process that guides—and thus precedes—allocation of attention and object recognition. The discovery of border ownership representation in single neurons of early visual cortex has confirmed this view. Recent theoretical studies have demonstrated that border ownership assignment can be modeled as a process of ...

The representation of the visual field in areas V3 and V4 of the macaque was mapped with multiunit electrodes. Twelve Macaca fascicularis were studied in repeated recording sessions while immobilized and anesthetized. V3 is a narrow strip (4-5 mm wide) of myeloarchitectonically distinct cortex located immediately anterior to V2. It contains a systematic representation of the central 35-40 degre...

We report here the complete genome sequences of three border disease virus (BDV) strains of the same subgenotype isolated in Switzerland from a sheep, a cow, and a pig, respectively. This is the first report of full-length sequences of a tentatively new subgenotype isolated from three different species of cloven-hoofed farm animals.

The ventral agranular frontal cortex of the macaque monkey is formed by a mosaic of anatomically distinct areas. Although each area has been explored by several neurophysiological studies, most of them focused on small sectors of single areas, thus leaving to be clarified which is the general anatomo-functional organization of this wide region. To fill this gap, we studied the ventral convexity...
